Im trying to use the preview tool but now it seems to only work on chrome, not in IE or firefox. Does anyone else have similar issues?

VinkoCM,

I believe that the preview tool will only work on live ads.

Here is a quick question:

Will the preview tool work if you have not yet entered your billing information?

I want to test my ad before giving the billing info, but my ad does not appear at all in the preview tool.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Not directly, that I’m aware of. However, if Google do identify this as a category, it should be part of the “invalid” activity reports. Google clearly identify impressions as invalid in a separate activity from identifying clicks as invalid (you can have 0 impressions and 1 clicks, if the impression is counted as invalid).
