Voluum + Adwords = Banned Account

7 replies
So I´m running a good ol´ whitehat ecommerce offer. Spent about $2,000 in a month made $600 in profit everything is smooth. Using Adsbridge to track conversions. Everything is gravy.

So I decided let´s try Voluum because of the visual interface and how everybody seems to think it´s so great. I insert my links, no meta refresh, no weird redirects, no cloaking. Don´t even really know what cloaking is except possibly showing one page while you pretend to show another page.

As soon as I swap out my Adsbridge links for Voluum links my ads go under review and come back with an Account Suspension.

There must be some mistake or something, I think to myself.

I´m a good boy, I don´t do that blackhat shit I think to myself. So I end up calling Adwords to find out the nature of my suspension because it does not say in the ad units they way they normally say when disapprove ads.

They end up telling me that they cannot give me anymore information but after further investigation your account has been suspended. You can submit an email to see if I can resubmit they tell me over the phone. On one occasion the rep mentioned some policy about ¨gaming the network¨.

Has anyone had this problem with Voluum & Adwords?
Any advice?

    I'm guessing the voluum domain is red flagged, you may want to try to contact them and explain the situation

    'gaming the adwords network' means you were doing something blackhat.

    are you sure you had permission of the advertiser to advertise them on adwords?

      I don't know how much experience you have had with Adwords. When I started out with them I checked with them before doing anything to make changes in my campaigns. If Adwords means that much to you keep talking to them and see if you can get out of the suspension.
      Or move to Bing Ads thats where I ended up and found success.

      yes, my man, multiple affiliate CAN run the same identical offers on the same keywords. Adwords will use the Adrank system for each auction. I´ve spent 2K with them with plenty of other affiliates running the same offer.

    The Volumn domain was definitely banned a few months ago, but even so, it should not lead to your suspension. An example of "gaming the system" is when a person uses multiple accounts to promote the same offer. If your merchant is caught doing this, then his affiliates could just be as affected.

    Anyway, the e-mail they sent telling that your account is suspended should have the reason for the suspension.

    Volumn is not on fault, It is a tracker only.
    Problem with adwords i think,
    May be your advertiser did not give you permission to run on adwords.
    Cross check with advertiser first "why were you banned?"
