Google Suspended My Site

tus5791 · 06-09-2011, 03:22 PM

Google suspended my Adwords account for landing page content ... live-on-residual-income.com ... but I looked at some of the others advertising under residual income and they were no different than mine.

Anyone else dealing with this issue?

What should I do?

Thanks.

I would imagine it was a get rich quick scheme.
Or something to that effect.

Are popups allowed on Adwords landing pages?

tus5791 · 06-10-2011, 07:17 AM

Hmmmm ... popups are NOT allowed on landing pages ... goodness!?

Man ... the power Google has over the internet is scary ... gustapo-like.

Thanks!

Google hates what people hate--pop ups.
It's not a good user experience and yours is just harvesting emails.

Having TOS is not trying to rule the world and ruin your business.
I don't know why people take it so personally. It's their
business. They can run it the way they want to. Has nothing
to do with anything else. You can either use it or not.
Your choice.

They do allow popups. But not one that interferes with surfing in and
out. I suspect that even if you had one of those, they would scrutinze
it and your site more thoroughly. They don't like pop ups because it
kills the user experience.

I know that makes IMers upset because somehow, somewhere, these
pop ups are regarded as the best thing since sliced bread.

The pop-ups aren't even the main problem with the site (but they are a problem, espeically when it is to grab their personal details). Google clamped down on single page lead generation sites quite some time ago.

Read up on these and ask yourself if your site is 'quality'.

Landing page and site quality guidelines - AdWords Help

Can users easily find what your ad promises? Your provide no info at all.
Does it link to a page on your site that provides the most useful information about the product or service in your ad? No. As above, it provides no info at all.

Where are your features, FAQs, support details, contact details?

What does your business actually offer?

Do they need to provide their personal info or is it a nice to have?

Those are all talked about on their Landing Page quality guidelines. You need to get familiar with them or you will have a frustrating time with Adwords.

Google adsense's analytics is very strong deep and powerful so they can easily detect the TLD with breaking rule for Google adsense so they are strict and Right at their side with Term and Conditions.

Troy is correct - adwords will accept "landing pages" when they are built to specs that are acceptable to them - the old days of just slapping a quick generic landing page are long gone

tus5791 · 06-10-2011, 08:52 AM

I briefly looked at some of the reasons why landing pages are suspended.
Mine might be seen as a "get rich quick" scheme ... though it isn't.

I looked at some of the sites advertising with the same keywords I'd be using ... and those landing pages had the same sales content as mine ... and some of them were even more "persuasive" than mine.

No ridiculous claims have been made. The website is actually very short in length.

Anyway ... I'll remove the popup first and see if that changes anything.

Going back to what I said about gustapo-like ... read below. These are nothing more than opinions ... and I feel that Google is controlling the internet based on their interpretation of what's right. I wonder if the Government stepped in on this stuff? I bet they did! Ridiculous!

U.S. citizens should be mad about this ... this is a significant loss of freedom. Snail-mail direct marketers aren't subjected to this kind of gustapo-like control.

Examples of prohibited websites:

Websites that promise an exaggerated payout for low risk and/or minimal effort (e.g. a claim that you can make $10,000 a week via email marketing from home with only 2 hours of work (Who is Google to tell me which claims are appropriate and which aren't ... goodness!!)

Examples of acceptable websites:

Websites that promote information about how to increase your income by saving money
Websites that promote genuine job opportunities
