Google Adwords Staff is Unbelievable..
- SEO |
I have a weight loss website that I've promoted DOZENS of times on google adwords...
One day, I put the site under construction to work on it, and make sure I pause my campaign first, because don't want people going to a broken site...
The next day, my ads get disabled and all my quality scores go down to like 1 for every keyword and no ads showing, because of course none of my keywords included "under construction"..
So, no biggie, just a mistake... I email them and let them know I had the campaign paused during the construction period, and that now it's back up, to please reenable my campaign and unblock all my keywords from the 1 quality score...
I get a nice email back, saying my site would be rereviewed by a specialist who can reenable it in a few days...
A few days come, and I get an email informing me my ENTIRE ACCOUNT is suspended due to breaking landing page / website policies...
They say my claims of weight loss (which are 100% true and backed up by MOUNTAINS of undeniable proof and pictures) are fictional and unrealistic pretty much...
Yes, they suspended my account, for a site that had been approved dozens of times before, WITHOUT WARNING, basically calling my product bogus....
I emailed them back again, expressing these concerns... And was pretty much told to kick rocks... Well, they weren't that rude, but basically said I need to tell people the risks of my weight loss product... I have a disclaimer page, that says consult with your doctor first etc, and this is not medical advice...
I just sent another email saying, you guys didn't give me any warning... And I might try to promote other websites etc besides this one... why suspend my ENTIRE account without warning like that?
Bottom line, this whole scenario was ridiculous, and I'm done with google as far as PPC is concerned...
Hey, I'm just an internet marketer... Google is Google... What am I going to gain by being mad? If they can pull off treating half of their customers like this however, and still dominate the business, it truly will be amazing...
Everything happens for a reason though.. I'll go the facebook route, and google seo route.. This adwords crap gets ridiculously annoying, and in this case, outright unfair.
Just thought I'd share.
