Campaign Statuses and Moderation Outcomes ​

Understanding the status of your campaign is essential for effective management. This guide clarifies the two distinct status types within the MyBid platform: Campaign Statuses and Moderation Statuses.

Navigation Overview ​

To view your campaign statuses, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Campaigns section in your dashboard.

2. Select the relevant tab to filter your view:
   • Enabled: Displays all active and non-archived campaigns.
   • Archived: Contains campaigns that have been manually moved to the archive.
   • Moderation: Shows the status of moderation requests (approvals, rejections, or pending reviews).

Campaign Statuses (Enabled Tab) ​

The following statuses reflect the real-time state of your campaign:

• Active: The campaign is running normally and is eligible to receive traffic.
• Paused: The campaign has been manually stopped by the user.
• Pending: The campaign is waiting for a moderation outcome before it can begin serving ads.
• Paused by Limit: The campaign has reached a daily, total, or account balance limit. It will remain paused until the budget is increased or the balance is topped up.

Moderation Statuses (Moderation Tab) ​

The Moderation tab tracks the progress of your campaign reviews. These are tracking entries for the moderation process itself:

• Open: Your request is currently in the queue, waiting for a moderator to review it.
• Approved: Your campaign or edit has passed moderation and is ready to run.
• Rejected: Your request was not approved. You must review the rejection reason, apply the necessary fixes to your campaign or creatives, and resubmit.

Common Misunderstandings ​

• Tab Confusion: Advertisers often look for "Rejected" or "Approved" statuses in the Enabled tab. These statuses only appear in the Moderation tab.
• Manual vs. Automated Pause: Distinguishing between Paused (manual action) and Paused by Limit (automated budget restriction) is key to troubleshooting traffic drops.
• Archived Campaigns: Campaigns in the Archived tab do not serve ads. You must restore them to the Enabled tab to resume delivery.

Troubleshooting ​

• Missing Campaign: If you can't find a recently edited campaign in the Enabled tab, check the Moderation tab to see if it is still being reviewed or has been rejected.
• Unexpected Traffic Stop: If your campaign status shows Paused by Limit, check your account balance or increase your daily/total budget caps.
• Status Sync: If you've just saved changes, it may take a few moments for the status to update. Refresh the page if the change isn't reflected immediately.
• Persistent Rejection: Ensure you have addressed all points mentioned in the rejection reason before resubmitting. Resubmitting unchanged assets will lead to repeated rejections.
