Dear DP member, My adwords account is suspended, and I receive email from google. Here the email : "Google maintains a high standard for the quality of our advertisements and our user experience. We have recently determined that your business maintains multiple AdWords accounts simultaneously serving ads for similar or related keywords /or businesses. In addition, our records indicate that some or all of these accounts were opened using promotional coupons limited to one redemption per individual or business. As a result, we've suspended your AdWords accounts and ask that you refrain from creating additional accounts. If you do, your newly opened accounts will be suspended upon registration, and your account fee will not be refunded. Thank you for your cooperation." Could someone tell what goin on ? is 1 voucher could only apply to 1 domain only ??
It's not temporary. Those vouchers are meant to be used to open one account, not several. They tracked you by ip, computer id and the domains you're promoting.
I don't think it matters the domains because if you do affiliate marketing they will be others who promote the same domain. Maybe ip (in my case, doesn't matter because i have dinamic ip). I'm thinking about cookies, but if you manage clients accounts, will have to use multiple accounts for each client. It's strange, in my accounts it says that they suspended my account because they didn't verified my billing information. Maybe it's an error with the billing information.
Yes, its very strange, used to be okay to promote same domain in the past. Just delete the previous ads in previous account. Then when make new account, you could promote that domain again. I don't know what happen, even using real Credit Card, the account still banned. Most of account in our country is banned, and I heard from my friend in Vietnam, also most of account banned too. Could someone know the update info for this issue ?

They will suspend you if you redeem a voucher on multiple accounts. So please make sure you get your vouchers from reliable buyers. Also, if you're managing multiple accounts, you should use different identities, different IPs, and delete your cookies before logging into another account. Once they find out you have multiple accounts, they'll immediately suspend all of them.
If they have banned you, then its better to stop. just check with them and try with one account or look elsewhere
Once you're banned, you're done to them. So if you badly need a new account, please make sure you appear as a totally different person in their eyes. Change your IP, billing info, payment details. Also, don't use VCC if you want to establish a long serving Adwords account for yourself.
You people are surprised? You really expect you can get free advertising forever just by opening new accounts using vouchers? Vouchers are meant to introduce Adwords to advertisers. They are meant for one account. The TOS says you can have only one account. You can have other accounts but not to advertise using the same keywords and try to dominate the sponsored ads which is what some of you are trying to do.
if you're managing multiple adwords account, please make sure everything is different. and that includes what you advertise and its keywords in each campaign in each account. you don't advertise the same domain using multiple accounts with hope to dominate some particular keywords if you're smarter than them.
Yep, I reckon Adwords have done the right thing. I see no limitation in the one adwords account I have that will stop me adding additional domains that I might want to market. Only time I'd create a new account would be for a client when the account would be technically theirs. Those vouchers are tempting but you just can't keep opening new accounts and expect not to be caught.
don't use mutliple accounts for a single domain at a time. Just delete the previous ads in previous account and place new ads in new account.
Google is tough on multiple accounts. I think that their rules are not fair sometimes, but there is almost no way to fight them. Many people that have lost their accounts, even through no fault of their own, find it easier to just go get ads for their site from some other provider. Google used to be the only game in town, but now there are more. I'd recommend that if you have been banned because of this, to consider it a lesson well learned and go try out a few different Ad providers. Whoever you use, make sure you understand and follow all the rules up front. That will save a lot of heartache later. Also, consider affiliate links and sales of products through Amazon if you have lost Ad revenue. Come back stronger!
