Adwords ads not running for an escorts site

    a female escorts website with a proven record of PPC on yahoo and msn, no blatant nudity, an "agree to the terms" button - basically everything the way it's got to be. Ads on adwords are not showing for a week! ads diagnostics tool says "your ads have just been added and might not be showing for a few days".

    it's way past any wait time for any content review. for the first time in 6 years of my ppc management experience, google gives no tell-tale signs of what could be the problem.

    support emailed me back with canned message 3 days ago -- all to no avail.

    anyone had anything like this with sites with moderately erotic content?

    I had same issue on this site: pronproxy dot com

    I sent them an email asking what the problem might be as the site has had adsense ads for about a year now without problem. There is no adult content nor text. pron as a word itself imho shouldn't be considered adult content but I shall wait and see what they say.

    Once again, Google has decided to apply American law and moral values on the rest of the world. Even where escort services are legal, they are now banned from Google Adwords.

    This is from the Google Policy Content Page:

    "Advertising is not permitted for sites promoting escort services or related content."

    However Google appear to be applying this policy very selectively and many escort Ads are still being displayed while others have been disapproved...

    Take a look under the search phrase: escorts london high class

    There are more than 10 escort Ads running....maybe they were ultimately the highest bidders and can survive the new policy!!

    Adwords ads for escorts are now 100% gone.
