AdWords Account: Warning, fuck
- Thread starter zorus
- Start date
I wonder if Google starts to stop every affiliates to display ads in their network, how this might affect the revenues for the networks and publishers. Whether we like or not Google still the biggest traffic source...
mm I'm a little suspicious about my oflline(paused) campaigns because i have several old campaigns there from when i was starting , around 16 months ago,so i have all kind of stuff, direct linking, i have about 2 or 3 rebills , ringtones etc, but these campaign were little test, and all the offers are expire now, maybe they saw some of theses. some months ago i wrote an adwords campaign with acai with my software, similar to speedppc but with database, then i copy paste to adwords editor, but i never press the upload button(post selected campaign), at now i'm not running any rebills, i have some old grants offers too, which paused after the google, yahoo and adcenter ban, that was several months ago, maybe i have to delete all these suspicious campaigns.

You can still view the stats of deleted campaigns, they never actually get deleted.
+1 - got the email the same time as the OP, but it was a suspension email.
Haven't had any rebills run in a couple months on adwords.
Never did bizops, only the berriez and teeth whiteners.
Had a 6 year old account that mostly ran legit offers (actual goods, etc.), and spent millions with them.
Just a fuck you, and no reach around... :321:
24 hours later, I get an automated email from google that says :
"Improve your local marketing with Google adwords"
"Improve your local marketing with Google adwords"
if you have spent millions and made a profit you will just get new account and you know how.
lol at local marketing
probably they go trough whole history of adwords accounts and if there were some shady stuff, you will get banned sooner or later. IMHO

Got the same email, same day same time..
I would not even care if they banned me, I've spent around 70k with them over the last 6 months and it was the lowest ROI of all my traffic sources, and a pain in the ass as well.
Google made a statement the other day (Techcrunch 50 I believe) that they are looking to acquire some new company's and technology because they have had $19 billion in development money setting around for the last year or so and did not know what to do with it just yet.
I don't think they are worried about affiliates and probably just see us as a nuisance..
Oh well, fuck 'em...

Let Google identify the problem ads for you...
Go to their support page -
https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/request.py?display=categories
Follow this path (or any path really) -
Campaigns and Ads -> How To Edit, Create or Delete Items -> How do I copy or move ads, keywords or placements?
At the bottom of that page, you will see an 'email AdWords support' link...that's a pain, emailing is a last resort.
What you'll want to watch for is a CHAT link. They are making it harder to chat w/ them and it's annoying as hell, but they are very fast at fixing/helping/etc when you can catch them by chat.
Just watch for a link that says 'chat with support' under or near the 'email adwords support' link, click it and start chatting w/ them about your account!
Sometimes, it feels like they try to bury their chat support under the 'email adwords support' link so click that and see if they are available from that page too.
They used to have a yellow box that said 'chat w/ an adwords specialist' on the side of the page after you clicked 'help' from the regular AdWords UI but I haven't seen that in ages!
If you can't wait to chat w/ them, download adwords editor - open your account - archive your account (Export Backup) - then click the ads tab - sort by status - highlight all paused ads - type in a new display & destination url - then post your changes...
Hope that helps!
When they ban your adwords account, do they ban you from any other of their services, like google analytics, gmail etc?
Nope, only my Adwords got banned. Everything else (Analytics, Gmail, etc) is working fine.
^^ same for me. got this mail a few days ago. good i dont care about google anymore.
its the third time I get this email.. I got two of them in the past week. Funny thing is I haven't ran anything with Google for the past 4-5 months...
I got my second email today. The funny thing is I haven't run anything on this account in months, so I went through and deleted all campaigns.
