Argh! *Google Suspension* and 4 x Activation Fees Served with a SLAP!

[Online Business Mentor]

AHHHHHH ... i like countless other warriors presumably ive had it up to HERE with google....really becoming a pain in the backside!

Within the last 2 weeks i've tried everything to get back on there (desperate I know) but some niche markets were doing 'really well' wiv some keywords and now its like gone!

ive opened like 4 accounts ...£5 activation a pop and within days they serve me a SLAP for desert with no clicks / impressions, just straight crap quality score but theyre keeping that £5 to activate my account

The only reason am persistent is because some of my competitors are still getting away it which is kinda annoying...so I kinda think why not me>?

Ive done the normal stuff before opening a new account

- close previous one
- fresh domain
- fresh ip
- clear cookies - the works!

and still google are coming out on top (yes i know foolish of me to dare think i'll beat google lol) but man its annoying!

Slap or not I think the smart marketers on this forum know there IS still plenty money to be made from google ppc but man is it a drag to trying to get it right with googles ever changing rules...

annnyyywaaaayyy..long story short wondered what fellow warriors are doing?...(tips to save us from throwing the computer out the window from sheer impatience will be awesome too)

And what does the Google TOS have to say about that?

I wonder if doing it the right way would have been faster and easier than trying to skim by four times?

4 ...accumulated, whilst closing down the previous (which is ok) no 2 active accounts running simultaneously

Thats my point looking over my keywords/ landing page etc, it was all good..believe it or not infact better quality and more relevant vs non slapped accounts running (my competitiors)...whom I know will be slapped soon

Do you keep readvertising for the same sites?
If so, they are like an elephant. They don't forget.

i would be very cautious about promoting any affiliate product with adwords at this point / is all i will say for now, just people be careful is all / some strange rumblings / even if you run high q score is no guarantee / as a high q score menas nothing.

@ the op, opening new accounts is wasting your time, it would be the subject matter in your case.

well i will say anyone with the word clickbank connected to the word adwords needs to be very cautious at best, and that would go for any category and regardless of any q score.

Hi Online Business Mentor,

There is no need to close your account and open a new one. That will not resolve the issue, as it should be quite obvious to you at this point. You obviously have an issue that needs to be resolved before you can use AdWords.

Have you done any research into why you are being Google Slapped? If you address the root cause you should be able rehabilitate your current account, no need to open a new account. You need to pinpoint that root cause, resolve it and build a CTR history to improve your Quality Score. Use the Keyword Analysis field to narrow down the issue and then fix it!

If you need help narrowing down the issue let us know!

Try a request for reconsideration, and in your letter to them, tell them what you did, or what you think you did, that it may have been wrong, and you won't do it again. Come clean, save everyone some time. The process is fair. It may take a few weeks. Don't pay any attention to what your competitors are doing. It's like one child gets in trouble, so they go tell on their sibling for doing something wrong. Trust me, the competitors will get theirs when it is their time.

you see the problem is, regardless of what methods to fix your account or not..once your slapped...your SLAPPED...

ive seen it myself...sometimes all it takes is one campaign to mess up every campaign...happend once or twice, and when ive shut down an account and reponed,, (just not added that bad campaign) the rest of my campaigns run totally cool and fine...

Hi Online Business Mentor,

This is simply not true. I have had campaigns slapped and quickly rehabilitated them once I understood what the cause was. If you don't correct the problem then it will effect your entire account. There are certain types of products and services that AdWords does not want to be associated with, do you think that is the problem?

If you have been banned, that is a horse of a different color. You should have gotten an email notice if you were banned.

[Online Business Mentor]

mmm true, It seems more of a slap vs ban

but have not felt google never bother reviewing the ad and actually getting back to us? takes ages on my account (as long as 2 weeks) and in business terms that is tooo long awaiting to see if your traffic strategy works or not.../ will be resolved
