ADWORDS BAN

[goddfadda]

Holy shit, this is serious. It sounds like they basically terminate your account if you make a mistake with your ads, display url or whatever.

Prob something a little more serious. Such as

I'm a fat ass, obey
I lost 250lbs in 3 days!
hippo.discovery.com

Seen countless ads much like that, and I'm pretty sure would rather smack down some affiliate than deal with discovery's legal team.

Ive been banned about 90 times.

I run 2 computers for my 2 seperate accounts, on 2 dif isp's.

Like others said, don't login to youtube. Be sure and not have google home enabled. Remove all your cookies. Bassicly anything related to G don't use on that isp / computer. Keep it all 100% seperate

and this is the disapproval letter they sent me prior.

Hello,

Thank you for advertising with Google AdWords. After reviewing your
account, we've found that one or more of your ads or keywords does not meet
our guidelines. You can see your disapproved ad(s), the reason for
disapproval, and editorial suggestions, from the Disapproved Ads page
within your account.

To access this page, use the following link:
http://adwords.google.com/select/disapprovedads
(Please note that you may need to log in before you can access this page.)

You can also follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account at https://adwords.google.com.
2. Click 'Tools' on the 'Campaign Management' tab.
3. In the 'Analyze Your Ad Performance' section, click 'Disapproved Ads.'
4. To edit an ad, click the 'Edit ad' link in the far right-hand column.
You'll be able to edit your ad from its corresponding ad group; once you
save your ad, it will automatically be submitted for review by our AdWords
Specialists.

Please note that if you have a large number of ads in your account that do
not meet our ad requirements, you may receive several emails.

I feel like there's got to be more to it than that. I usually get a bunch of disapproval emails like the one you got for various reasons whenever I launch new, larger-sized campaigns.

You have
repeatedly submitted ads that violated our display URL policies in this or
a related account.

Were you trying to game the adwords system?


Forgive my probing, but whenever someone gets banned it makes me curious. The "lines" that we, as advertisers, can't cross on Google change every day.

It's hard to say, really. I just feels like this is so random. I mean when i was a noob, i've only launched one campaign(email submit) with everything complied yet i've received the exact same email as the OP's after about a week. No diet no poker no penis enlargement. I've survived through it somehow literally using a complete different person's info.

yeah i was promoting a simple "legit" zip submit offer. nothing too illigit about my situation. im gonna give them a call today or tmrw and see what happens.

i plan on yelling a lot if i dont get my way, i cant really think of anything better to do.

 

[invisible777]

how old is your adwords account?

 

[anujpan1]

maybe 3 months old

 

[invisible777]

maybe 3 months old

I think that's a big reason why. I did some reading over on the Google Adwords Forums (on google.com), and just about everyone who questioned an account suspension had relatively new accounts... < 6 months old.

I think new accounts have a probationary period, where if they trip a certain of internal triggers they just automatically shut you down and don't care to deal with it.

I could be totally wrong, though.

Yeah, that makes sense - thought there's no way it can be confirmed.

Back to the topic,

 

[anujpan1]

new thread posted on what to do after you get banned and have the desire to move on rather than pine after google like a bad girlfriend.

That brings me to the idea to run Virtual Machines with a proxy for each for this only reason. I got to do this!

Mine was almost 3 years old with $150-$200k/year spend. Got warning in April for my ringtones campaign, i delete the whole campaign, but i still got banned in September. When i ask why, they told me that they send warning in April.
That's it. You can't explain, you can't complain and they are even rude to you. Fuck them. Google is made to be "blackhated" over and over. That's how you fuck them.
For opening new account: follow the steps in this thread + delete flash cookies.

I don't understand the logic behind blacklisting an IP address. Google bans humans, not networks, and they can (not sure if they actually do) use your payment info to determine if you're a person they've banned in the past.

They can't match name + address alone because it can be ambiguous, but those two with a CC # matching is almost definite. Using domains from an older account, using the same Gmail login etc.. are pretty good signs as well. Session data might, but just clear your cookies and cache.

I don't think ISP/IP are blacklisted unless abuse is coming from one block of IPs, or they see a lot of different banned accounts were using the same IP.
