Run car on water type of campaigns are being suspended by Google?

    Today I noticed in my adwords account the campaign with "run your car on water" is Disapproved and suspended. Here is the mail I recieved regarding this campaign:

    -> Content: At this time, Google policy does not permit advertisements
    for websites that promote phishing, hoaxes, or scams, including 'run
    your car on water' type sites. As noted in our advertising terms and
    conditions, Google may refuse any ads or terminate any ad campaigns at
    any time, for any reason.
    -> Your destination URL must work properly and link to a landing page
    that does not require the user to open another program in order to
    properly view the page. Note: if your landing page is down for
    maintenance or is under construction, you must pause your ad group(s)
    until your site is fully functioning or link to another relevant page.

    So they are classifying run your car on water type of ads as Scam. I was in the chat with the support few while ago and conformed this. They are yet to suspend/Disapprove all those ads running this type of ads.

    So will this affect the gravity of top clickbank product "water4gas"?

    I imagine it will hurt it - but there's still lots of other ways to promote it of course. I'd be interested to know what % of their sales come from AdWords.

    Sure gravity will go down, but Water4Gas won't disappear from Clickbank ;)

    So is this a scam? Are the brains at Google smart enough to know that these techniques to save fuel just won't work?

    Google does the same thing with the "satellite tv on pc" niche products. They wipe them out...then the products come back, and the cycle starts all over again.

    :confused:I received a simular letter form Google.

    I guess that Google must have been approached by someone with some serious Power...

    Check this out!

    Google makes money from AdWords advertising, -- Right?

    Right now -- Water Fuel is one of the >>>hottest niches<<< going with keywords like...
    run your car on water, water car, hh0gas, save gas, save on gas,run your car on water, run car on water, water fuel, water car, Water Powered Car, water for fuel, water fuel car, hydrogen, water for gas, water 4 gas, water cars in the news, water4gas in the news free energy, global warming, save gas fuel gasoline, water hydrogen oxygen HHO, hydroxy browns gas, boost mileage mpg.

    With a list of words 100 times this big -- used by Thousands of Advertisers -- Why would google say NO ADS ALLOWED?????

    Google is removing ads that promote how to run a car on water... Why???

    Remember it's one of the hottest niches going -- And The Water Fuel Concept Does Work... I am getting 36 MPG from a jeep that was getting 15 mpg.

    Here is a sample ad...
    Water Fuel Secret
    Install The Water Fuel System That
    Can Increase Your Gas Mileage 57%!
    www.WaterFuelSecret.com

    Ad Status: Suspended - Pending RevisionAd Issue(s): Scams/Phishing for Personal Information

    When I asked Why--- I was told by GOOGLE -- it was a (NEW POLICY) -- Yah Right... BS!!!

    My suggestion is get your Water Fuel Guide While You Still Can.

    Here is where I got My guide.http://www.hh0gas.com It is the top pick -- I am very happy with my results -- and I'll bet someone has the power to see these run your car on water sites pulled from the Internet.

    I don't know how to upload any video here --- I do have have video on YouTube and My Space..

    Just look for Pildriver

    Just fyi, you'd be better posting these comments in other forums. I don't think 'helping us with your site' (or spamming, depending on your opinion) in a webmaster forum will get you any sales.
