I had a PPC campaign running for my property management business that was working decently well. It directed people to a blog site I'd set up that was focused on the topic. I looked at my account one day and saw that nothing was active. I'd received an email from Adwords that my account had been suspended because of a "malware" issue on one of the web sites associated with the account. The web site they flagged was a squeeze page I'd set up directing people to a sales letter. Long story short, they said the web site violated their "get rich quick" guidelines. The fact is I'd even forgotten I'd had this thing active on my adwords account. After taking it off the account, I emailed adwords and asked them to reactive the account. They said they would not reactive it. How do I get my property management campaign back up and running again? Is that url going to be forever flagged by google as some sort of outlaw site?
get another account. Get another link and do the same. Get banned... rinse and repeat. in few attemps you are gonna be earning quite a lot. play with it.
What terrible advice from faysal9. Do you really want and have the time to open other accounts and new domains every time there's a problem? I think you have better things to do. Not only that, it's against TOS and eventually, you won't be able to even do that, you'll be found out and banned forever. The answer is to fix the problem.
@Lucid Web Marketing: +1. Couldn't have said it better @OP: Unfortunately the URL is indeed flagged. I've heard tons of cases where people have been banned and have then either opened a new account or (worse!) had a friend set up a campaign to promote their site only to find the account that "took over" the campaign banned in a matter of days.
Can't believe the kind of advice I read in these places. Fix the godamn problem! Opening another account is not fixing the problem. Here's an analogy. You are driving and the car stops. What do you do? If you are like most reasonable people, you find and fix the problem or get someone who knows more about cars than you. You don't go out and buy another car. The problem may be something as simple as you ran out of gas. In fact, let's say that's what the problem is. But you chose to ignore the gas gauge or (in some cars) the light that comes on warning you that you are running low. Yep, much easier to buy another car. Learn the basics. I know little about cars but I know how to drive one and the basics like, it needs gas once in a while, the fluids need to be replaced and the tires kept inflated. All simple things I can check/do myself.
I like Lucid's comments. My thought was keep creating good content, look into other kinds of monetizing and make the site better and better. Periodically resubmit it. The fact is that google wants to link to sites its customers/users want to find. All their rules are arranged around this. To get ahead of the curve my belief is just provide what people want to find. Period. SEO and everything else comes second or farther back. just my two cents
I agree with everyone who says just get a new account. Google can not seem to find the time ever to explain why they do what they do, so why waste your time? Just make sure you open an account with a different URL and from a different IP Address.
