Banned From Adwords. Yes. No. Dust?
The other day I received an email from Google;
Thank you for advertising with Google AdWords. After reviewing your account, we have 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.Action taken: Suspended - Pending Revision
Issue(s): Unacceptable ContentSUGGESTIONS:
-> Content: At this time, Google policy does not permit the advertisement of websites that contain "hacking or cracking". As noted in our advertising terms and conditions, we reserve the right to exercise editorial discretion when it comes to the advertising we accept on our site.
Seems like they decided my PLR Manna Tool is a "hacking or cracking" tool. I think these must be machine generated based on Keywords Used in your Adwords Ad. Anyway, I wrote back explaining that it basically merges text files together and can't be used for War Games or anything of that nature…
A day or so later I received this:
Firstly I would like to assure you that I have reviewed your account and I have confirmed that your ad is now approved.
Our AdWords Specialists review ads that run on Google to ensure that they comply with our advertising policies. I apologise if an error was made regarding the prior disapproval of your ad. However, after reviewing your ad again, our Specialists have found that your ad meets all our Editorial Guidelines and advertising policies.
I am sorry that you have been inconvenienced due to the period when your ads stop running.
So, all is not lost - at least the Google Team respond swiftly when contacted - and it is nice to actually get a human email (rather than some rubbishy machine generated email รก la eBay).
So, be careful with your wording on Adverts!
