Google Adwords (PPC); Under review but I never go live?

I've emailed customer support, and the bastids just reply with a prescripted message from some offshore center saying "my account is under review" (when I setup a new account, new IP, new domain, on a new prepaid card I buy from a store using a voucher code usually $100).

After a few days go by, I get a message saying it was in violation of TOS. I have no scripts, no porn, no warez, its strictly a financial site I use to generate debt leads.

I email asking for an actual detailed answer and nothing....

Any thoughts?

      Do I have an active account now? NO. Have I used adwords before? YES.

      BUT

      - New IP
      - New domain
      - New Prepaid card
      - Pen name to match card
      - Pen address matching card
      - Ran CCCleaner (cookies/etc).

      I setup a new account (tried this 2-3x), used a voucher code and was told to kick rocks... Any idea? Do they know its a prepaid card or something?

    I think your IP or your first user name or home address is same therefor you have problem in your activation of new account .May be your first ID card number is record with them.

    Hi, if Google determines that its in a violation of TOS, they might have flagged it for arbitrage. I've had a lot of problems with that before.

    Is your site new?
    Do you have adsense within that site? if you do, then that adsense login that you are using might have a record.

    Too bad you're in US, I got contacts from the regional office of Google in Singapore. But yes, you can just e-mail them and tell them that your landing page is legit.

    Care to share the landing page to us?

    Cheers!

      I'm not certain but I thought the coupons were reserved for first time users-otherwise we'd all close our accounts pull out our Hostgator coupons and get $100 worth of free advertising. If I'm wrong and missing an opportunity here, someone correct me please.

        I've done it about 10 times, AT LEAST.. I think the prior post was correct when knowing theirs a script installed that may link to a prior account (in this case analytics).

      AHHHHHHH, so a post that might make sense..... I've never in my life used adsense.... BUT, that same thought may be correct when saying I put google analytics on every single one of my page. Maybe they see the ID Code in analytics, and see I once had an account and link it back.

      I mean hell, if its not that they must be checking hardware ID or something because I've tried everything... I'll try a new domain without analytics and see whats up, thanks..

        If they see the same analytics code, they know it's you.

        Otherwise possibly they are not sure about the site/content/offer you are linking to.

        You are allowed multiple accounts but you must link them through an MCC and definitely can't use more than one AdWords voucher.

          Well its definetly not the same code, but its the same account (example, google analytics shows as 1234567-X -- X being the number for the specific site or page). So my sites usually run the same code but have a different X. A few of the sites for example, would be

          americandebthelp (DOT) com
          freeonlinedebtconsolidation (DOT) com
          consolidate-debt (DOT) org

          etc. etc.etc.

    May be your account is suspended. I have faced same problem using Adwords before and after contacting them via phone I came to know the account is suspended. They told me that they will fix the account again (even Google have called me more than 5~6 times) but account is till suspended. So, better u contact them over phone and if they tell that your account is suspended then forget about your Adwords account, try to open a new one with new domain name!

      Yeah, but the key point to this thread is creating multiple accounts, using said voucher codes under different sites, different ips, vccs, etc. So whether or not an account was suspended is irrelevant.

    OK so from this can we guess your account is active and not suspended at all, and that your ads are not running due to a violation of terms ?

    if so are those the sites listed above or examples / can you post or pm the URLs so we can have a look.

      The links herein are the recent ones Ive used. I think its the analitics code, so mmy next landing page will not have that. I cant think of anything else that would violate terms of service.

        OK had a quick look at those URLs, not being a fly on the wall, it may take some time to sort as to the reasons, but the first common ground i seen on all sites was there was no privacy agreement nor any "we respect your privacy" links to that policy by your submit buttons.

        It is googles policy if you collect information to provide this information, so that may be a start for you.

        Second i noticed some claims on the last site / like / Debt freedom, in 1 to 4 years / unless that is fact and everyone can do that those types of terms would fall into the hype basket.

        You can not claim a wonder cure for everyone so unless everyone who came to you could achieve debt freedom in 4 years i would remove that or any terms like it.

        If after this has been done you are still having difficulty, check the search terms for those sites and have a look at the sites that are running the ads to spot any differences (just go the site don't click the out of respect for a fellow advertiser) and if still unsure i would confirm with adwords if your account is suspended or if its just the sites your trying to promote have been flagged as this is a little unclear, there is no reason for you to be hopping around between many accounts.

        If the account hopping is due to trying to game the system with the same coupons, it may be a short love affair there as well.

    First, you should cancel all your multiple accounts.Then wait for a week time for google system update.Later, you will have to contact AdWords support to confirm if your account is under review and request that they expedite the process.
