Can't see the ads you are creating? Make sure your User Group Permission is set to true for "Should ads be shown to members of this user group?" for your user group and any groups you want to see ads. Sometimes advanced ad filters can make ads not show if you don't have everything set up in your account for your state, zip code, etc. We recommend not using advanced filters (AdminCP >> Settings >> Ad Campaigns >> Settings). |
