Adwords - Millions of impressions to zero overnight?!

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by mrsexgod, Sep 24, 2009.

    I have a high budget on Adwords and all has been running fine, plenty of campaigns with plenty of impressions and clicks but all of a sudden today I have no impressions and no clicks at all on my whole account, yet they all remain 'eligible' and running?

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    The same thing here. No impressions on my whole account overnight... I wrote to the team and they have forwarded the problem. Hope the wait
    is short.

    I'm assuming this is a content network campaign.

    1. Are you an affiliate marketer with links to your merchants on your page? If so, you've been slapped (hate that expression) for doing so. Link direct to merchant instead.

    2. Maybe a site that was giving you lots of impressions decided they didn't want to advertise your offer and excluded you. Adsense users can do that, nothing you can do about it.

    3. You've simply been outranked by other advertisers pushing you off the page. You need to increase your bid or, better yet, try to improve your ads.

    I had a search only campaign, advertising all clickbank products with direct linking and I was spending $700 a day from 1 year.

    Here is their response:

    There are a lot of other methods to advertise. Adsense is not the only one and it is not the best one.

    I know, there are other methods to advertise.
    But my earnings with Adwords were around $500/day, I'm a little shocked about this and I wonder if the other methods you can reach these figures.
    Do you think SEO or article marketing worth the effort?

    Sorry to hear about that Kahn. Did you get a lot of ads being disapproved before getting that email?

    Millhugz, 2 weeks is unusual. You simply fell through the cracks somehow but not uncommon for new accounts. Email them. Chances are you'll be approved within 24 hours. Most ads are approved virtually immediately, sometimes it can take a day or so.

    khan12, after emailing Google I have just had the same email. Thing is I've never been warned or had any sites/ads disapproved so don't understand what's going on! They say there is no appeal whatsoever....Any idea's how to get a new account that won't get resuspended?

    Use a proxy / switch IP to crate another account safely, the URL might be blacklisted though, depends

    [Lucid Web Marketing: Sorry to hear about that Kahn. Did you get a lot of ads being disapproved before getting that email?]

    No, I did'nt have any ads disapproved (except for the month of June where I had some ads disapproved) ...I tried to select products by observing the rules, no money-making websites, no miracle-cures...
    and as mrsexgod I did not receive any warning prior to suspension.

    [mrsexgod: khan12, after emailing Google I have just had the same email. Thing is I've never been warned or had any sites/ads disapproved so don't understand what's going on! They say there is no appeal whatsoever....Any idea's how to get a new account that won't get resuspended?]

    No, I am considering the idea but I don't know anything in the matter, unless you need to try a new ISP, new address, new name, new credit card.

    Questions:
    1) For the new ISP is an internet key to the case?
    2) How can I get a regular card with different name & address than my own? (excluding the use of cards of relatives or friends).

    And anyway, if I had a new opportunity, to avoid a new suspension I would not do direct linking anymore but I would use a Landing Page...

    So is it against the policy to have a promotional site? I got a website with a list and description to paid to click and get paid to sites, is this not allowed? If its not is there a way around it?
