Interesting result about ebooks & adwords...

I have a pretty standard HTML 'high pressure' sales letter page I was trying to get approved for adwords. I knew this was an up hill battle, but all content was original, its an original ebook and not anything affiliate. Plus I added small home, privacy policy, contact, and blog (with 4 orignal articles on the blog) links to the bottom. I also kept my use of 'guarantee's' toned down. (And for the record, its a legit product, nothing scammish, illegal, etc)

Well, I could never get approved.

So as a test, I took this exact page and put it another unrelated, and I MEAN COMPLETELY UNRELATED website, with completely different layout style, topic and everything. The new page didnt even link back to this new site. It remained completely unrelated, but was just on that URL. My ads got approved.

What I think this tells me is that
1. Google doesnt like my original URL (it had the word 'approval' in it)
AND/OR
2. Google likes sites for adwords which are more established and have a physical address.

Anyone else found some good work arounds to getting an ebook approved for adwords?

    Why don't you post the URLs and we can judge for ourselves what the problem may have been.

      Let's see, you were disapproved, then:

      "I took this exact page and put it another unrelated, and I MEAN COMPLETELY UNRELATED website, with completely different layout style, topic and everything."

      You submitted a completely different page....and can't figure out why?

      How about, different...topic and everything.?

      I'd say the "different topic and everything" just about did it.

    I have had an ad disapproved and then put the exact same salesletter on a brand new domain and it was approved. However, about a month or two later the new site also got disapproved. In my experience, in seems like some ads just take while to get manually looked at.

      Look up Kevin Hutto's adwords course (he is a warrior on here)

      He talks about the best way to build squeeze pages to get adwords approval, articles beneath the fold, the inclusion of a no opt in (which adwords wants) and how to set that up right as to appease Google and still make sure everyone Opts in.
