[etreet]

hi,I am gloomy and miserable now ,because I got life banned by Google Adwords, and my online income are dramatically reduced from 200/a day to 100 /week. darn! this is not because i was promoting google money tree or feit products, because google doesn't like any review kind of site anymore!

the worse thing is : they banned me forever,

I asked some gurus, they told me many people got same situations, I used my friend name and credit card,reinstall my windows, open a new account,but still got banned!

does anybody know how to deal with such issue? I am thinking of doing online business by organic way, "find niche ,write articles,build blog...bum marketing way ,etc" ..i guess this way is always safe,..

[Gary McCaffrey]

Why were you banned?

[nitin22]

First thing is chill.
Second is take some time and make sure to learn and ensure that you will never repeat the same mistake.
Third is start with brand new identity. You can get rechargable visa gift cards at your nearby super store. Register tham with a diffeent identity and you have a brand new identity. However if you show even a simple most follishness, big G will catch you again

[Kevin Marshall]

Looks like you are screwed!

[nicholasb]

learn seo and other traffic methods, a tactical business is a doomed business, start learning some more strategies that cant be taken away from you overnight.

there are 100 different ways to get traffic, you just learned a very important lesson in business, never rely on just one method

[nitin22]

BTW were you running Google MOney product? They are really after the ppl who are running G Money product and if u were doing it, you should have stopped the moment news was out.

[etreet]

Big G sent email mentioned i promoted google money tree,but i never even know what hell of google money tree it is ? because i was promoting products by using review site, they just wipe out all such kind of site from adwords, they want better user experience...nicholab is right,i need to learn mutil way to bring traffic to the site!

If G sent you email that you were promoting Google Money Tree and you were not, then write them and provide them proofs. They are very fair. No point in having your name blacklisted with G.

[etreet]

hi,do you rewrite the article and guarantee submission? i have many articles and niches waiting for rewriting by somebody,you know,writing article is easy,but writing LSI (SE friendly, longtail keywords rich) article is very hard ,people dont need crap article and all just an accumulation of words,they need SEO and domination of SE...can you do that?if yes, i will quit finding writer in guru.com,elance,99articles, ...it s kind of tedious thing for me to talk with different bidder

Agree, if this is a misunderstanding, let them know. And who says they don't like review sites?

[etreet]

do you know google adword has a online chat support team, i talked to them ,they are veryveryvery arrogant ,they said they have nothing to do with this, thanks for advertising with google,. blah blah, then hangup..they dont care,i have paid google over 20k, they just kicked you when they dont like you, that s it! i realized they dont like review kind of sites, try google some keywords, you will never find any new review site for some particular product anymore ...Google sometime is evil ...they are the online judge + police + legislation for their own..sigh..

[Mountainmotorman]

They got you by your IP address! I am sure you used a friends CC and name but, you used the computer you have been with the google cookie in it and the same IP address. Also, you probably used the EXACT same content.

[Tdale]

There is no way you can get your account back. Since last month, Google has been quietly banning accounts. Last night it became official you will see in the next couple of weeks many marketers’ adwords accounts being banned for life. If you try to open a new, account with a new card etc. Good luck, yes Google will know what you are trying to do.

[kkchoon]

Move on, create new account with new IP, new address and a new card!

Learn from previous mistake and get back on your feet

Well no matter how you change names or cards if you use the same email address and the same Internet connection you are sunk. Join up with someone else and break off some of the profit with them. Bad news is they also have your sites linked to your account so you have to start over

OR

Forget about adwords. its not the only way to make money from a site with enough traffic. In fact it may be the one of the less profitable ways depending on the niche of your site.

[Kay King]

Sounds like you followed the terms for adwords about the same as you follow the signature rules here.

[josspam]

WoooOOooW man!

Hardstuff....

Try to slide on the back but it will be a hard come back.

This really sucks, that's why I don't like adword, not matter how much money it made me...

[warrich]

why don't you give a call to adwords team they will help you to resolve the problem

[TimScott]

I got the same F.U. form adwords as well, but heres te crazy part: I shut down my adwords traffic months ago, to re structure all my campaigns, and build new sites to comply with the new guidelines from the last slap. Well, they sent me the disabled e-mail saying, that even though I wasn't currently running any advertising, the fact that I had previously sent traffic to a landing page, on an old campaign, is against their new advertiser policies. WTF??? So what should I do to fix my situation?

[etreet]

this is what i m concerned about, great G doesnt give people chance to repent and repair! they even dont give you notice before they 'kill' you ! darn!

[Mike Calvert]

I'm not sure why, but this situation reminds me of a guy who dates a mentally unstable rich girl.

All his friends tell him she is okay for a dance or two, but it's not a good idea to get too involved. However, hearing the siren song of marrying easy wealth, he ignores their advice.

Of course, when she maxes out his credit cards, lies about being pregnant, has him arrested, and trashes his new car, he is totally surprised that he has been "victimized".


Hmmmm.....

[noah.whitmore]

That's too bad. But, I think that the sad truth is that no matter whether you feel like you did anything wrong or not, Google has waaay too many advertisers and accounts to really care about you.

I'm not saying that you aren't important, but as far as Google is concerned, you're just a number. If you consider Google's point of view, they can probably make money more efficiently by banning accounts for life even if they just look like they have broken the rules. Then, by never giving you a real chance to get your account back, they save time.

Bottom line is that Google doesn't owe you anything. It's your responsibility to follow their terms of service. You have to keep your own nose clean.But, I feel for you. That's rough. Google really provides some great tools, then if you were suddenly without them, only then would we realize how great those tools are.

I have heard of people arguing and getting their accounts back. But, I'm sure that's relatively rare. I would explore other avenues, Google probably doesn't have enough vested interest in one single account to give you another chance, it's harsh, but I bet it's true. Good luck.

I don't think it's due to being a review site, it's due to the type of products you were promoting. Were they rebill offers???

Get Ready, Here Come More Google AdWords Account Bans
Unfortunately, some online advertisers continue to promote services and websites that do not help, and in some cases could harm, our users. For instance, these advertisers may offer free services that bait users into accepting hidden fees. Or these advertisers may attempt to deliver malware to unsuspecting web citizens. Regardless of the practice, these types of campaigns do not benefit our users and we therefore take steps to enforce our policies and prevent such advertisers from running ads through our systems.

Recently we began implementing this new account disabling. As a result, many advertisers who provide a poor user experience and have previously had their ads disabled will now have their accounts disabled.

[Jason Mcinturff]

What type of offers were you promoting and were you direct linking or sending your traffic to a landing page you own?

as others have hit on, it does'nt really matter if you use new cc and new name, your ip address is very detectable to a giant like the big g and even if you use an ip blocker, you are still playing with fire as far as depending on this source of traffic for the success of your online business.

There is always yahhoo search marketing and bing and many other ppc options if you insist on ppc for your main source of traffic.

As far as getting back to using adwords, I would suggest opening up a new account from a different ip address and such as at a friend or relatives house. Use a new name and cc and only depend on this traffic as a small part of your traffic driving techniques.

Sorry you got the grand prize from the big g, but you will do fine in the future no matter what if you continue to put your heart into it,
Stay Strong, And All The Best,
Jason

This is why I can't trust google. If they someday stop liking the kind of website that I like that converts, then I'll be banned too, even though before, it was completely okay with them. Not only that, but I'll be banned for life, no matter how much my life depended on them.

I don't know so much about any of the adwords alternatives out there, but have you tried any of them? Things such as AdBrite, Yahoo, LiveJournal, or myspace ads?
