I have only four keywords for my adwords campaign. They have been all disapproved few days ago. I contacted Google adwords support but no answer yet. My ad is: Live premiership on PC Live Premiership matches each week for a low one time fee of £6.95 www.******.com And my four keywords are: LIVE premiership live football LIVE football live soccer Any thoughts why they are disapproved? I had my ad for the last couple of months with no problem...
Unless I'm wrong, which is highly possible, the diagnostic tool check if some keywords show your ad. Here, I already know that my keywords are dissaproved and, therefore, will not retrieve the ad.
If your keywords or Ads have been manually disaproved, there is generally a link on the advert which takes you directly to the appropriate policy / regulation that you have breached. Taking a wild guess, Google don't like the fact you are trying to get people to pay for broadcasts of live Premiership games as its an illegal area. Regardless of whether you are 'just supplying' the links to the broadcasts and not hosting them etc..
1) No link in this case. Beside, the ad is ok. It' the keywords that are dissaproved. 2) No sure if it is an illegal area. Just typping "live premiership", live football", waatch footabll, etc...show billions of different ads on the right side. I mean, If it was illegal, do you thing G will tolerate these?
Showing internet broadcasts of Premiership football is most definately illegal. So by trying to send traffic your site that supplies these links (presumably...) to these broadcasts, G probably doesn't like to much. I am suprised there is so many. Perhaps some havent come under review yet? Perhaps its a grey area for Google approval? Remember, it kinda depends on who is doing the review. Take a look at their guidelines - # As a business, Google must make decisions about where we draw the line in regards to the advertising we accept.

Ok,I have an update. I put other keywords. as results: Dissaproved: ~LIVE premiership ~live football ~LIVE football ~live soccer Approved: ~watch free premiership ~Live ~premiership ~free ~watch ~football My ad is running again under these approved keywords. Now, from you to me, WTF
Have you just added these? If so, they might well get reviewed down the line and disapproved too... If you wanted, ahem, for your disapproved keywords to become active again... You could strip them out. Save the adgroup. Re-add them into the adgroup and save again. That used to work. Although I do not recommend doing the above as it might get flagged again. Ahem.
