Google Adwords Disallow Classifieds or sites with only ads?

Used Adwords for one classifieds site for few months, today got a suspended notification.
Called the support, and she answered that Google regards a site with lots of ads as worthless for people.
I once thought it's only for my classifieds. So i asked her if they will allow Craigslist, Kijiji, Ebayclassifieds, Backpage to use Adwords? Her answer was no, even these sites cannot use adwords. It sounds not so bad, at least not only for my site.

Since I have no idea how to turn a classifieds into not-ads content, I can only cancel and ask for the refund.

Running a classifieds site may be more tougher these days.
Hope the other Google service as search engine or Adsense won't suspend classifieds in the future.

I have put my budget into Bing ads instead of Adwords, hope Bing won't ban classifieds.

    Hi RankSale,

    Yes, you can advertise your classifieds website.

    All you need is a proper landing page.



    I suggest you create a proper landing page and ask AdWords to review and lift the suspension. You should have no trouble getting it lifted if you go through the effort to fix your landing page and make it comply with all AdWords policies.

    It seems as you guy replied here is the landing page trick.
    Another support called me yesterday since I opened another new ticket 2 days ago.
    This time, she said to remove Adsense and any ad network codes from ATF and then apply to review again.
    Not sure if it works, will see.

      Keep in mind also, you are speaking to a "Google Rep" not Google, I have had my ads banned once after 8 years, by a person at Google who was personally offended by my website, and this was when I had called THEM to try and help me set up some remarketing. I guess it was easier for her to ban me then to solve my problem.

      I called back to get this reversed, and it was reversed. The new rep thought my website was funny, and did actually help me set up my remarketing.

      Now we are free to advertise again.
