MS Adcenter questions

[Mike]

Hi gang,

being sick of Google, i just signed up at Microsoft's Adcenter - found a $75 coupon for it, so i've got some leeway until they start killing my bank account.

I set up 2 campaigns, seem to comply with their guidelines, yet both campaigns, the Ads themselves AND the associated keywords are set to inactive.

Is MS reviewing every ad manually?
How long does it take from setting a campaign up to the campaign actually being functional?
Is there anything that i'm missing?

Any advice is appreciated!

Yes, they review every ad manually and even your keywords. It can take a few days for your ad to become functional.
