I've just started promoting Rhapsody with my own landing page and my ads have been getting disapproved by Adwords due to copyright violation. Today I got a warning email. Just spoke to the Adwords rep and they're looking into it. Any one else here promoting Rhapsody on adwords & experiencing the same problems? Can't seem to get hold of anyone from Rhapsody. Been sending them emails but not getting any replies.
I had the same issue. Adwords is not going to ban you or anything like that for the 1st or 2d offence or maybe even 3d offense. But I can assure you, they will not let those ads run. I tried it on 2 different occasions - same result. Leave it alone. There's a reason why AdWords doesn't want those ads out: Rapsody doesn't care if the music is pirated. AdWords does.
AdWords quality control doesnt always flag things properly - your best bet is to call up AdWords (there is a phone number somewhere) and speak to them about it. I used to promote eMusic & was flagged for Copyright Infringement - I called them up, had them check out the website & Wikipedia regarding eMusic, and they realized that it was a mistake. They then resubmitted the ad & everything was good. Rhapsody is a 100% legal service, so you shouldn't have any issues.
