More adwords bans coming tonight and tomorrow..
- Thread starter flipper
- Start date
Umm one of my accounts just got hit today looks like, got the gay e-mail...what's this look like normally? I wasn't running anything on this one atm but I can login fine and unpause my campaigns..?? Will they just not get traffic or will my account be eventually shut down and I won't be able to login?
My guess is they let you login still so you can pull your financial data but won't give you any traffic even though it "looks" fine?
Another question, this account is under an MCC, you think the whole MCC will be affected eventually or?

Same here, got the email but both of my accounts are looking fine.
Dammit as I've never run any rebills or shady stuff there, just some polls for emails and others are pretty decent campaigns with lp's. Fuck.
Same thing for me. Got an account banned (but can still log in). Didn't promote any rebills on this account either.
It's the Wednesday Night Massacre!
One of my accounts just got banned. Although, the other two accounts in my MCC are still up and rocking, including one which had the same credit card information, physical address and Tax ID number as the account that got the axe.
No idea what that means.
The banned account still loads and looks good, but no impressions.
And yes, late last year I did grants and berries, but nothing bad since Feb or so.

It looks like something to due with the 1st of the month.
Today is Dec 1st.
Alot of people got their accounts shutdown, just stopped running traffic or banned today.
This also occurred last month on Nov 1st.
So thats two months in a row, on the 1st of the month there have been massive google account shutdowns.
With that being said, I believe it to be safe to say that Google is reviewing accounts on the 1st of every month. So it'd be a good idea to at least have your campaigns running properly when the reviews happen. But assume they probably do randomize reviews on other days of the month as well, but the 1st day of the month is something to now be careful of.

Accounts get reviewed when the algorithm is updated, which is normally unpredictable, but on average i'd say its about 1-2 weeks. They target specific keywords and take into account your history with google, and the severity of your slaps.
From talking to the Adwords rep at AdTech, he was telling me very rarely does an actual human review accounts, rather, its more about the variable adjusted to the algorithm. He also told me that they have been going alot harder on duplicate content, and normally leads to an instant slap for both parties.
This is all what the rep said. Of course, whenever i talk to Google on the phone, it seems like they only know what the google help files tell them, so who the hell knows.

Me too, nothing shady, no rebills, not even polls.
Looks like I'm probably banned too.
I wonder how much of AdWords' revenue is due to affiliates...
Are they banning ClickBank/PPS affiliates too?

2 of my accounts got banned. Promoted rebills until I got that recent email saying these types of offers need to have an opt-in for the monthly billing thing.
That is good to know. Next time the rules change, I will just continue breaking them since I will be banned anyway for breaking a rule that isn't in existence yet.
Google = evil
