Just got my first customer that wasn't via word of mouth :)
Unfortunately it isn't down to my SEO expertise but he found the Google ad - on page 3 of his SERPs!!
Thank god some people don't just look at the first page :)
There's a page 3 ???
Congratulations. Good work.
Trying to run another ad campaign and it says 'Disapproved' and 'Site Suspended'.
I haven't altered my website since yesterday so am puzzled.
I've read through all the stuff that could possibly get you suspended and i don't qualify IMHO.
Also have no warnings in GWT or emails from Google so i've emailed them but it can take up to 3 days to get a response :(
I suppose Ads are reviewed manually so maybe they've seen something that couldn't be spotted algorithmicallly ?
Anyone else had this when they haven't made any changes ?
The best way to hide a dead body is on page 3 of Google results ;)

I'm still waiting for a page 3 of The Sun joke ..
>> dissapproved
yeah - they'll get around to sorting it eventually. We get this all the time with some clients - normally you're inadvertently using a trademark (generally for an entirely unrelated subject) or they got you confused with someone selling something illegal. Have fun :) Probably its an algo thing which they will reinstate with a manual review to be honest, unless you're doing something really interesting!
Thanks Gurtie that's good to know.
So i spoke with adwords CD twice today, i can't belive why the suspended my adwords account !
On the top-left corner of every page on my site i have an image (logo) that says "small seo. more for less. £100 per month".
They said that some customers could think that they would make an extra £100 per month if they go with me and i need to put a disclaimer !!!
I told them, no, that's what i charge ...
Apparently it was an auto-suspension so they obviously use OCR on images.
Anyway, glad its solved, now i just have to change my logo so that people with an IQ of less than 22 can understand it's intended meaning !

Do you do local search only?
You can get cheaper more targeted clicks if you do local ppc.
So if they search for "Blue Widgets" and you sell them in Wiltshire, then you can set it so that only people in Wiltshire see the ads.
Then add a "Local" bit to the ad, you should get better click throughs. (prices and conversions)
I think anyway. Not tried local for a couple of years (or possibly even more! )
Thanks Rupert.
