Google Ads Suspended - Anyone Else Seeing This?

0 replies
I've been running Google Adwords campaigns on one of my niches on and off for a year or more. It is very targeted traffic and the conversions are through the roof. The affiliate is eBay and they must really like the traffic I bring because my ACRUs are considered High ($40).

This morning I checked my clicks for yesterday and they are down, WAY down. So I check my email and what do I see? Google Adwords has suspended my ads for this niche because of trademark violation.

Now, this has been running for over a year with no issues. So, I suspect that someone has complained about the ads and they shut mine down. Also, there are other folks running ads in the same niche using the same trademarked name in the ad text.

I can work around this set back with no issues, but I'd be interested to hear about others who may have run into the same issue.

Yeah, I know they clearly state that they will disapprove ads that violate trademarked names. Lots of folks are doing it, obviously, so I wonder if this is the start of a crackdown on PPC and affiliate sites?
