Google Still being Dicks

Sometimes you do the fucking, sometimes you get fucked. Sometimes you just end up fucking yourself. Don't fuck yourself.
Google banned my AdWords account yesterday. I've had that since 2003. They must've finally decided the Acai I was pushing in 2008 needed bringing to light. Cunts.
I've shown them who's boss though, I deleted the email, and removed Analytics and DoubleClick from all mine and my clients sites. I even closed one of my paid Apps accounts and have moved to Zoho. Mwhahahah!

That sucks. I've been banned from Adwords for years for "low quality landing pages" that I ran like 5 years ago. I think it was a clickbank page that got like 3 clicks or something ridiculous like that.
If you care about the account you should try a couple of times to work it out with them. They should be able to tell you exactly what you need to fix. If you still have access to the acai site then just make it compliant somehow.
They have a retarded policy though that even if you no longer have access to the site that got you banned (either because it's not your site, or even if you dropped the domain) there is absolutely nothing you can do. You have to figure out a way to get the domain name and fix it.
And also there is no way ever to permanently delete campaigns and ads. You could have a typo in your ad that leads to a non-compliant site and if the site is bad enough they will hold it against you and ban you forever.
You fucking showed them! I'm sure they will probably have to lower their earnings estimate for the quarter after all the business you caused them to lose!
On a more serious note, I too have been slapped and hit with the ban hammer. Sometimes it feels pretty random... my favorite is when they get mad for arbitrage and then give people like ask.com the ability to arbitrage the shit out of stuff.
No. They will just lower Expedia's rankings a little more so they will up their Adwords spend to make up for it.
To be fair, I'm going to ring them, as I've not used the account for about 4 years, I'm in the Google Partners program and want to know where I stand with regard to using the MCC.
They also only said suspended, so I think I might be able to wrangle it with my silver tongued lingo. (I know I dropped the domains, so hoping I can reacquire them, once I find out what the fuckers are.)

Just bumping this as I didn't want anyone to think Google is totally devoid of sense.
Just logged into an old Gmail account, literally only used for Adwords and Adsense and Google shit (so I rarely check it these days) and I appealed my Google Adwords account ban in Jan I think.
Anyway, they unbanned me in June. WTF?! They also did the same for my Adsense...
There's hope bros. And I literally did nothing (apart from appealing and rebuying all my old offending acai/flog domains and 301ing them to Google.com).
I'm fucking ecstatic. 11 year old AdWords account bros. I'm going to buy a new fleshlight to celebrate.

^ do you have other adwords accounts that were banned?
It's possible that one was unbanned, but like a month or two after you start using it they might ban it again because it's related to another banned account. When I was trying hard to get a stable account on good terms this happened several times.
Also, I recently logged into admob with the wrong account, and it said that my adwords and adsense account had to be in good standing to sign up for admob.... It provided a link to do something with adwords. So I think they are starting to spread bans across all ad/money related accounts or something. Or at least blocking you from other services if you have a ban.
be careful bros. it's ridiculous we have to be so cautions though, considering you can get a ban for the stupidest reasons and they won't let you resolve it.

Still adsense banned, and for the stupidest reason:
I parked a domain with them that got hit by bots. Virtually no clicks, but the CTR was so low that they banned me for it.
Never mind the sites I was using to make actual money were completely legit. They even emailed me about the parking stuff, which is why I transferred over from some other parked domain service. :action-smiley-052:
I only had the one Adsense and one Adwords.
I logged in though and it still shows as suspended. However, it's showing I owe them nearly $600 (it was cancelled with a positive of over $1k, which was refunded), I'll call them Monday, hope I get a lady and use my fedora to make her bring it all back to life (and make her wetter than an otter's pocket).
