Hi all, I bought a Google Voucher and an Adword Vcc. I picked the highest converting Clickbank weight-loss product. I used the product url as my displayed url and my affilaite link as my destination url. I checked back 20mins later and got a message that my Adword Acc has been PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED! Well I know am pretty new to Adword marketing. So, I have come here to ask for advise from those who have tried using Google vouchers and VCCs and succeeded to tell me how it's done. I still want to give this a try but I need to know how to bypass this suspension next time. Thanks Terry
Basically most VCC's are banned by AdWords and it's very hard to find one which is compatible. Another thing is that affiliate links within a landing page advertised with AdWords is not allowed and will get your account suspended. So do not use affiliate links !
Adwords do not welcome a lot of the Clickbank products. You can do a check on adwords and you will realize that there are no CB weight loss affiliate review sites, eg. "fat loss 4 idiots", "cheat your way thin".
That information is entirely false. Google actually states in there policies that you may use referral link from affiliate sites, they even tell you how to get your referral link: I was banned too after advertising that same weight loss program, but I can accurately say it is not because it is an affiliate link. I have had quite a few problems with my web pages and adwords before, such as my landing page being refused due to 'site policies', yet after complaining google in fact told me they could see no problem and promptly enabled my ads. And now with no prior warning, and no notification either, I am suddenly banned due to 'repeated violations of site policies' - which is bull, none of my sites ever had a problem. The problem is, I think, that google cannot spend time accurately reviewing sites and as such they often ban a site due to finding certain keywords in it's text. Or they use an automated program to review the website, which would be very inaccurate. - Try to contact google, state your case and provide as much information as possible. If you are lucky they may re-enable your account. If it was due to fraudulent billing information however, then don't count on getting your account back.
