casino promotion problems

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by longblog, May 14, 2009.

    Hello everyone. I've recently purchased a domain and put together a landing page to promote casinos. You can see it here. It's just a review site, so no license required. After putting everything together I started an adwords campaign.

    After two days my campaign had still not started. Frustrated I looked into the matter more and discovered that adwords requires a dedicated account for any type of casino advertising, even if it's just a review site. They make you agree to only promote in the UK, and they also require you fill out an application to promote casino reviews and claim they'll process your application in 1 day. I followed their steps to a T. Well it's been three days now and still no word!

    Has anyone had any experience with this niche? I'm looking for some advice on how to move the campaign forward. I'm getting more and more frustrated, especially since my adsense revenue from my primary blog has dropped off the face of the earth for some unknown reason! I still have the same google rankings, yet people just stopped clicking all of the sudden.

    Thanks in advance for any response you may give.

    Yeah, very hard market to get into with adwords - are you v experience with PPC? If not and you're going to be using Google I suggest you try a different niche...

    Thanks for the link, but as I indicated in my post, I've already jumped through all of those hoops. I'm just sitting tight and waiting for Google to acknowledge I've jumped through them.

    I wouldn't say I'm "very" experienced, but I've run 10 or more campaigns. I know how it works.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I was super frustrated when I created this thread!
