Google Adwords Disapproved Ads

rip3 · 10-04-2010, 07:46 PM

I wasn't sure which forum to post this thread in, so I went with the forum that included PPC.

Well about a week ago I began a PPC campaign promoting a CPA offer with a budget of $25 a day. This worked fine for the first day, then all of my ads stopped running completely, I emailed Google about it and they gave a generic bull**** reply, so I just said screw it and started a new campaign.
Well this new campaign I started is with a different offer/landing page. I was pretty confident in what would work with ads and keywords for conversions so I was excited to begin this campaign. I start making my ads, but I notice that they are all being disapproved for no apperant reason at all; they could be the most random, broad ad yet they would still get disapproved.
I checked the info bubble and it gave the answer for my ads being disapproved because of the site policy. It says to click for more information yet it takes me to a blank page within Google.

I am very confused with what is going on and I really do not want to have to completely forget about using Adwords as Google is such a powerful search engine.
Anyone with any knowledge of why this is occurring, could you please help?

there are many words / terms that can not be used / which would cause problems / without more info it hard to tell for example smoking is a word that would trip the radar / many legal terms may also trip the meter such as sexual type terms / legal aid / the list goes on and on / if you look under general advertising terms it does give a fair list of what is and what is not.

Having your ad banned is far better than having your account suspended, just work out what the words are and work around them / then you will probably find other hurdles that you will fall over ?
