Help Google Suspended My Adwords Account!

5 replies
Google suspended my account a while aback because they say that a website associated with a campaign in my adwords account violates their Terms of Service.

Google says that my account will not be re-instated unless the problem is fixed on the site that violates their TOS. Problem is the offending website is not mine so how do I even begin to find the offending problem????!!!

The website in question is (Moderated)

How should I proceed as I need to do some adwords marketing as a matter of urgency

Has anyone had a similar problem and if yes what is the way to fix this?

    Sorry to say, but stick a fork in that AdWords account.

    The Brute Force program involves a lot of spam, garbage links and content which you chose to promote on AdWords and make money from. Once Google nukes a program like that, and suspends any AdWords account promoting it, you are not getting the AdWords account back until the Brute Force domain disappears or is changed into something Google approves of.

    Stopping or deleting your AdWords campaign will not get you reinstated.

    This is one of the methods Google uses to trash affiliates.

    If you have money in the account you need to demand a check from Google.

    You need to open a new AdWords account.

    I have a lot of experience getting pages approved for Adwords and I can tell you that the page you are trying to send traffic to is not going to be allowed by google. There are too many unrealistic claims on the page..."...without a lick of hard work" amongst others.

    Since the website is not yours, you are not going to be able to make any changes. And deleting the ads in your account won't work either to get your account re-instated. Your only option is to update the target URL in your ads with a page that google is ok with.

    Your best bet is to make a quick blog with a few posts about SEO and send your traffic there to get your account re-instated. You can then place an ad for the sales page in the right column of your blog. You can also use your affiliate links in the body of your blog posts but make sure you are offering value first to the readers. If google sees your post as a "bridge" page, that is just there to get people to go the sales page, then they won't allow that either.

    Direct linking through Adwords as an affiliate is only a viable strategy if the landing page is high quality and offers a lot of free value to the searcher.

    Hope that helps
