You can use filters to find disapproved ads across your account. You'll be able to see the reason why each ad was disapproved by placing your cursor over the status information.
To use filters to find your disapproved ads, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your AdWords account at http://adwords.google.com.
- Make sure you're at the "All online campaigns" level of your account (click the "All online campaigns" link in your account tree).
- Click the Ads tab.
- Click the Filter and views button above the table.
- Select Filter ads from the "Filter and views" drop-down menu.
- Select the Status filter from the "Filter" drop-down menu.
- Check the Disapproved box and uncheck all other status boxes.
- Check the "Save filter" box if you'd like to use the filter you've created again later.
- Click Apply.
- You'll see all disapproved ads in the table. Click the icon next to your disapproved ad to view disapproval reasons.
To get your ad running again, make the necessary changes to your ad and save it. Editing and saving your ad will resubmit it to us for review. The table Status column will update to reflect the change in your ad's approval status and change from "Disapproved" to "Pending review." Here's how to edit your ad:
- Make sure you're on the Ads tab.
- Just hover over the table row that lists the ad you want to edit. This highlights the row and exposes the editable fields on which you can click to edit. Click on the pencil icon next to the ad, and you'll be able to edit the ad right there.
- Click Save.
