I am to my breaking point!!!!

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by woohah, Oct 17, 2009.

    We setup some campaigns in adwords and everything was going great with high quality scores, lots of impressions (millions), clicks (1000).

    Then google put the account into review mode for the next 2 weeks (it ran for about 3-4 days), after we missed a call from google. Now when we got our account back the quality scores are horrendous. We are getting 2/10 when we use to get 10/10's.

    My business partner seems to think that our click through rate was so bad with 3 million impressions and 600 clicks on one campaign and that is why our quality scores are so bad for the whole account.

    So we created another account with my name and moved the 3 most successful campaigns (wow,mafia wars, dvd copying) to my account from my business partners account. We live in different states and have different contact info using prepaid personal banking
    accounts. We are not related at all.

    These are the products we are using:

    Satellite TV for PC - 301 redirect from our own subdomain to the affiliate page

    Vertical Jump - presell product review page hosted on subdomain with 3 products on it linking to affiliate page

    WoW Guides - presell product review page hosted on subdomain with 3 products on it linking to affiliate page

    DVD Copying Software - presell product review page hosted on subdomain with 3 products on it.

    Mafia Wars Guides - host on own domain 3 product review page

    So after my business partners account now has been up for 2 days it worked for about 1.5. Now for the last 24 hours we haven't gotten an impression.

    Now my account has been suspended by google after receiving an email, that it has been suspended.

    You can't do redirects to a different site than your display url.

    You said you did a 301 redirect to an affiliate page - that's a violation. No one but adwords can tell you the exact reason your account was suspended.
