Adwords Content Ad Delay?

[Spades]

What kind of delay do you guys typically experience before your adwords image ads start to get impressions? It seems like the wait has been getting longer and longer.

Content text ads about 4 hours. Image ads, usually overnight. 24-36 hours.

Recently I had a couple of ad campaigns that just never started (not because of obscure keywords or anything). Both of them image campaigns. I had to email Google Adwords, then resubmit everything. Don't know what is going on over at big G these days!

This is the 3rd thread about this in the past month or so, so yeah - I think a lot of people are experiencing the slowdown..

This is correct.
