AdWords - Appealing the appeal, that is appealing, that is ........ ongoing
- SEO |
Got Slapped by Big G over 12 months ago for posting an AdWords campaign for a new site I launched, which was built using a template.
It had 100% unique content, complied with all the requirements for AdSense and everything else was done by the book, however the template had some code in it they didn't like.
With encouragement from the AdWords team (I was told if I made it comply, there was a chance of getting the account reactivated), I spent nearly $2,000 trying to make the site compliant.
In the end I stripped the site back to a basic WordPress blog, with the article content only and the site got approved.
Expecting that this was the end of it all, I wrote to them asking for reinstatement of the account.
The response was not good, they wanted to pick on a previous site I had promoted for 24 hours only, nearly 2 years prior.
In a moment of stupidity, I joined an MLM company that sells domain names ending in .ws.
I promoted them using Adwords for about 24 hours only and got a warning from Google, which stopped that campaign (no Google slap, just a warning).
Immediately after getting the warning I stopped promoting the service, cancelled my membership with the company and deregistered the .ws domain name.
I wanted nothing to do with something that was going to get me in trouble with Google.
Anyway, nearly two years later and after getting everything else back in order, Google is picking on this one moment in time and a domain name I no longer have control over.
They said that if I can get the content in the domain name that I no longer own or have access to, to comply, they will consider reinstating the account.
I don't own the domain, can't modify the content and have no means of doing so.
So after all that, here is the question
Is there any channel that anyone here knows of, that could have this site removed from being associated with my account, so the account falls back into compliance.
This is their very last response, which was nearly 12 months ago
Thank you for your email. I apologize for the inconvenience you may have faced. I've tried my best to find a possibility for you to continue advertising with AdWords, however, per our policies unless the violating websites are not corrected, your account will remain suspended.
BTW: Their people do not write very well. There is a contradiction in their statement, because the violating website is already, not corrected.
Prepared to take up the battle one more time, if anyone has suggestions.
BTW: I am not looking for ideas like opening another account, I want to do this by the book or not at all. I do Adwords campaigns for my clients and all I want to do is be able to log onto their accounts and my account from the same PC and connection, without having to worry about having their accounts terminated.
