    I don't know if this has already been posted but I looked on google to make some PPC campaigns for my poker sites and noticed that they are not allowing anything related to online gambling. The big names had ads up yesterday and now I see none.

    Does this mean everyone has been stopped from advertising gambling sites on the search network? I still have adverts via adsense on my sites with poker and gambling in the titles and the cost per click has gone sky high.

    Anyone know whats going on?

    I gathered that as I wasn't allowed to ad my advert. But up until the other day how come the likes of party poker 888 and so on were all still allowed to advertise.

    Has google just changed its policy?

    Gambling ads banned since 01/06/2007 you could still some ads but not any more. Yahoo/MSN/MIVA still accept gambling ads.
