hi, A few days back I had posted about Adwords being misused to sell fake adsense accounts by not just one but 2-3 sellers. Their ads are running amok throughout the adsense network. (Screen shot posted in the following article) Google Adsense Abuse Article I went to the extent of filing an abuse report in Google as well. But even after 48 hours of doing all this there was no action taken and I can still see the ads selling adsense accounts without any changes. Kindly respond and uphold this issue or else it will make spammers take undue advantage and spoil the integrity of google network. Who knows someone may start selling adult products next... If possible share it to as many people possible in hopes of conveying it to google somehow....
Google doesn't care anymore, it seems. Google only cares about money now... A year ago, that wasn't the case, and they actually cared about the integrity of their sites and networks. Now, I'm not so sure about them... They seem to jump at the chance of money and not care about upholding the professional look and feel of their websites, email support responses and just generally the sites in general.
Yeah basically. This is probably why so many small businesses get banned from Google Adwords. They hate doing business with small merchants because they know the larger ones pay more, regardless of how low quality their targeting often is for many of their campaigns. Case in point: you type in pneumatic drill into Google, next thing you know, there is completely untargeted ad from Target, Wal Mart or some other corporate conglomerate that just says "Looking for pneumatic drills?". Of course, in many cases, they don't even have what you're looking for. But what does Google care? They are getting revenue from these companies like crazy, so who cares about the user experience.
It's a real shame that Google doesn't take issue lik this as seriously as they should. It's the same with spamming sites which were allowed to freely advertise in adwords and which Google did little to stop
Yes its a shame that the ads are shown on my site too... I wish I could specifically ban them but then the banning urls thing is so complicated that I dont really bother with it anymore. And if after reporting the matter also if google is not bothered then there is nothing much we can do either. And that pneumatic drill example is absolutely correct. Google claims about quality but now is not really focussing on it anymore. Yahoo and bing combined would be a small share but if they come up with something then surely google will have to think again on its quality standards again.
Maybe they feel that they are getting paid for those ads, but they are not realizing the fact that these sites are using adwords free coupons most of the time.
Your request probably needs to pass through multiple layers of management until it gets to the right people. And it may get lost in the process too. Usually it takes multiple people submitting the same problem for any large company to react. I remember seeing ads selling stolen credit cards - it took weeks to take them down...
I do not think Google would care only money and chose to ignoring those garbage networks. However due to a millions of request daily then it could take times than expected.
Yes true but shouldnt they be focussing on improving that feature. Wouldnt we all like getting responses to our pleas in a better manner. Doesn't google who is a corporate feel that it should be answering to people the very people on whose efforts it stands today as a leader in search marketing.
