New change in Google ToS??

    I sell a software online. I began an adwords campaign 2 months ago for it.
    I just receive a Google email saying no software sale for adwords from now, it's against adwords ToS.
    It's really new since I had no problem before. My campaign is dissaproved as I write this but it has been ok for last 2 months.

    No software sales? Golly - this sounds like a misunderstanding. Did they point you to the relevant TOS term that describes this?

    This is the email:

    AD TEXT:

    LIVE football on your PC
    Live Premiership matches each week
    for a one time fee of £6.95
    www.sattv4pc.com

    Ad Status: Suspended - Pending Revision
    Ad Issue(s): Capitalization, Unacceptable Content
    ~~~~~~~~~

    SUGGESTIONS:
    -> Ad Text: Please correct the capitalization in the following
    phrase(s): "LIVE"
    -> Content: At this time, Google policy does not permit the
    advertisement of websites that contain "hacking or cracking".

    So I have changed LIVE by Live
    But I can't see any "hacking or cracking" anywhere :confused:

    Wait a few days after you changed your LIVE TO Live. If it's still suspended, try to email google support and let them know about the "hacking or cracking" issue. I guess that's the best thing that you can do.

    It is strange though that it's been like that for 2 months+ now with no problem...Even the "LIVE" was there since the beginning...
