Just started some Google ads - Some questions
 

How long before I see some clicks?

Do they have to activate the account?

Thanks

can't you check to see if the ads or live by running a search?

Im targetting US and I am in London... so no

Are the reports "live stats" do you know?

can you target only members of a certain state? new to this

This is the first time for me so......

but I do remember seeing a "regional" option.... pretty sure that was for US regions rather than world regions

They are not live in the google admin area.

I'm not quite sure, but for some reason I think about 4 hours or so.

Actually just found it again.... Yes you can

You can even enter an address and specify a radius around that address!! - Very nice :thumbsup

Google has taken two days to activate an ad for me.

if you change anything, it will automatically go offline.. expect another day or two to approve the changes
