Questions from a newb,

I am testing adwords and they sent me an email suspending my new account for arbitrage. I read their doc on arbitrage and Can only assume that it is because I have affiliate links on my site that go directly to the affiliates website. The other part that says I do not have unique content confuses me because I wrote my own review article from scratch.

I have adsense on my page as well as other banners, which may be causing this.

I have seen other adwords ads that point to similar pages like mine and they are still running. Can anyone explain this to me?

  • The AdSense is 100% causing this. They don't want you buying cheap traffic and setting up a MFA site with higher paying keywords. Basically giving pennies to 1 AdSense publisher and turning them into dollars without providing a benefit to the user and instead making them click multiple ads.

    Its called AdSense arbitrage and has been a big no-no and strictly enforced for several years now. It used to be a big time black hat method.
  • Hi M8trix18,

    Without seeing your website we can only speculate.

    My first guess would be that your landing page had nothing but ads. Your "review article" was likely interpreted as ad copy, therefore making your entire landing page content consist of advertisements. That is a big violation of both AdWords policy, AdSense policy, and Google Webmaster Guidelines.

    • Thanks guys, I will have to make changes to my site....do I have to get rid of adsense on all pages or just the adwords landing page? Also do I have to get rid of affiliate banners on my landing pages as well?
