Evil google. They ban people for little things like this and clicking your own ads even after being warned. When will this stop.
 


Register a new company and start all over again. Dont worry nothing much. Lol i read some post from the blue hat seo guy saying that you shouldnt focus your energy on losing your adsense or adwords account instead, focus your energy on making money. So wipe that dirt off your shoulder and go back to work :) amen.

Thats not very good advice..what if you depend on Adwords and Adsense to make money? If you lose any one of those accounts your kinda screwed. It would be important to learn now not to get your accounts banned.

And depending your living on one source isn't stupid? :D Come on man, everybody should plan their business in a way they can take a ban from Adsense or Adwords if necessary. When I started I designed all my pages so that I can change a certain ad block in every page from one central place. So if I get banned from Adsense I can instantly change ad blocks to show something else like Adbrite, YPN, whatever.

You should also learn how to use Adcenter and Overture in case you get banned from Adwords. Adwords ban isn't really a serious since you can make as many accounts as you have credit cards ;)
 
Solid advice, but you said in the first page in the thread you will need to 'create a new identity' to circumvent an adwords ban which is harder than simply getting a new card. Google will know the cardholder name and address.
 
Hey I know I screwed up. I am banned from adwords after all :)
The only thing that bothers me is that it only took one little mistake after the warning to fuck me.
What actually happened which i doubt many people will believe or care about is the following.
I was using the adwords editor (pc app) to separate my content and search network click. To do this i was copying and then pasting my whole campaigns and then setting one campaign to search and one to content.
I obviously did not think thru this and did not realize that by doing this i was would resubmit all the ads that had been rejected in the past that i had not bothered to delete.
4 days later i got banned.

I am not trying to make excuses but just trying to give everyone a heads up to the fact that you can get banned from adwords for what i would consider fairly minor infractions.
 
Micfire: I definitely agree about not being too focused on one thing. In the last few months i kept telling myself i needed to diversify but the ppc/adwords way was always the path of least resistance. So despite many ideas i mostly focused on adwords.
Now i am looking at this as a chance to really get good with adcenter and panama as well as exploring other non ppc opportunities.

As far as starting a new adwords account I think i will try to use a friends credit card while I explore my options for incorporating offshore. This would allow me to get a credit card in a new company name and maybe some tax benefits. I had thought of just adding another authorized user to one of my credit cards but am worried that they would have the same billing address.

Yea, well it all depends how bad you need new Adwords account. Nobody can stop you from starting new LLC companies in different states with different federal tax ids etc. Just open a new bank account for your brand-new company and there's your new identity.
