Title: STOP THE PRESS! You're not allowed to use Adwords to make a "financial Gain"
Post by: hungrygoose on August 03, 2012, 10:10:00 AM
So had an interesting email last night from Google...


Hello AdWords Advertiser,

We wanted to alert you that one of your sites violates our Advertising Policies and as a result we aren't displaying ads for any URLs on that site. Please note that any new ads pointing to that site will also be disapproved.

If this is an error, we want to get your ads back up and running as quickly as possible, and your Google team is here to help. Here's the account and URL:

     Customer ID: REMOVED
     Display URL: REMOVED


     The name of the policy is: Spam techniques
     More information about this policy, including how to correct problems: http://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/bin/static.py?hl=en_GB&topic=1310879&guide=1308243&page=guide.cs&answer=50424



Following the link the part I have violated is

"Ad spam techniques – exploiting online advertising systems, like AdWords, for financial gain"

Err hang-on, everyone using Adwords is using it to make a financial gain!

And anyway, this site was approved after a few weeks of discussions with Adwords and adding loads of lines of useless text to please them.  We are basically providing people with a 0% loan on a regulated investment which complies with all the rules.  And it's explained fully throughout the site.

Wankers.
