Are you tired of getting bullied by Google? It’s getting almost impossible to use Google Adwords unless you are a high roller and even then I have heard bad reviews. I created a brand new Adwords
account and sent traffic to blog hosted on my domain. Only to get this message two weeks after I stopped running my campaign.
“We are writing to let you know that your Google AdWords account is at risk of being suspended due to multiple violations related to our Advertising Policies, including the Landing Page and Site Quality Guidelines.”
The letter went on to say:
“Landing pages advertised via AdWords must have relevant, original content, and must be transparent about the nature of the business being promoted. Further, advertisers are prohibited from promoting certain types of sites, which include, but are not limited to:
* Data collection sites that imply delivery of free items, etc., in order to collect private information
* Arbitrage sites without relevant and original content that are designed for the purpose of showing ads
* Affiliate sites without relevant and original content that are designed to drive traffic to another site with a different domain
* “Get-rich quick” sites that make unrealistic promises
* Sites that are deceptive
* Sites that distribute malware or spyware
* Extremely misleading/unverifiable or inaccurate claims”
So basically if I have anything to sell on my page it’s not acceptable.
