credit card BANNED?? could it be??

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by juicy, Mar 22, 2008.

    Hi,
    I currently have about 35 accounts under the same credit card.
    Today I had opened another 3 accounts, as #33, #34 and #35
    I have many accounts because from time to time I'm checking new campaigns with adwords vouchers, so I'm pausing all my campagins, and never touch the account again.
    so right now I have 9 active accounts, and the other 26 are with all campagins paused...

    I've just noticed that I havn't been receiving traffic in all my websites in the last two hours, so I've I've logged in to adwords, and saw that in all my accounts it says that I had exceeded the daily limit.. although I didn't...

    so what can I do now??? is my CC number banned for good?
    should I get a new CC from my CC company??
    Should I even try their support?
    Did I had to CANCEL all the accounts I'm not using anymore, instead of pausing the campagins? is that why adwords banned me I afraid???

    because I know a lot of people are using vouchers all the time... so why me??

    I'm pretty panicked because my income is pretty much depended on it...

    please advise!!

    Google can and will ban you if you create multiple Adwords accounts. You should only create and use one account.

    Oh my God. I have to blog this.

    If your income is "depended" on gaming the system, you are an idiot. You can have more than one account if it's for the right reasons. Your reasons are not.

    The rest of us pay for traffic and if it doesn't convert, we figure out why. If we still cannot get it to work, we call it a loss.

    No such thing as a free lunch. Welcome to the real world.

    PS: I own shares in Google. I hope your IP and CC is banned.

    but a lot of people are buying vouchers like me, and registering new accounts....

    I'm a college student, so its not an income in the way you would imagine.

    I'm too paying for my traffic If I see that I have good conversions.

    But when I want to test new stuff, I rather do it with a voucher, and I feel just fine with it, as I'm not a millionaire, I'm just a student.

    Being a student has nothing to do with anything. You're still abusing the system.

    Well...doing that is against Google's rules, so they may have banned you. Your best hope is to cancel all your accounts but one, and contact Google support.

    Then don't open up any more accounts in the future.

    what is bidvertiser?

    well so yeah it seems like they have banned the CC,
    as when I'm trying to re-enter it, it says card declined....
    does it mean that 35 is the limit of how many accounts can be created under one CC? I wonder if its automated, and then the answer is probably yes,
    or whether its manual...

    about cancelling my accounts, if I cancel them I wouldn't be able to login to them again, wouldn't I? like checking all my past bills, and past camapaign performance...?

    I guess I could go to the bank and request another CC, but I'd rather have a better solution.... and I still don't get it how so many people in the "vouchers" forum, are buying bulk amounts of vouchers, and get away with it????

    Sorry, in Google’s eyes you were trying to game them, they are only right to defend their business, your loss, don’t follow the trend that you see, there’s no need for multiple Adwords account, unless a really weird scenario, which your case isn’t weird. You really shouldn’t base your business on trends that you aren’t even sure of, next time fully read Google’s TOS. Go to another network, a one close to Google’s, I really don’t see hope for you, as its sad what happened, its hypocritical that you never stopped to understand your business.

    Dude, you’re in need of reconciliation, right? I don’t think you can pick and choose here, correct me if I’m wrong.

    Like said, this doesn’t justify sympathy or different understanding. I won’t judge you, but it’s really sad what you’ve done when others are playing by the rules. You could’ve well cheated the system the way you were doing to become a millionaire, that’s the irony there. Income is income, money is money, and there need not be any imagination. The financial world is the most sacred because it’s the only thing reliable to feed your stomach. When someone comes assumingly in sympathetically hurt mannered, it justifies, but not when that person has been “gaming” the system. Sure, we all would do it, but you came out clean so accept the criticism.

    well I guess I'll get another CC in a few days... with content ads that wouldn't convert the same as with adwords, I might as well just lose money....

    people on the vouchers forum are buying dozens of vouchers,
    I have a feelin that in comparison, having 35 accounts is peanuts...

    If google is your favorite, why would you even THINK about scamming by creating so many accounts? I know "people on the vouchers forum are buying dozens of vouchers" but just because others do it, doesnt mean that its ok! Eventually google will ban everything about you, if banning only your CC doesnt work.

    why you all trying to be BIG in front of who asked a simple question and call him in all the ways possible.
    give him a resonable answer or leave, don-t try to be smart...help him if you can.

    Juicy i can suggest you to write an email to google and tell the truth. And promise them to not to do it again. They can probably open one of your accounts.
