    Is google allowing PPC for escorts. Just searching a term in google.co.uk for
    "call center india" and got a site with Ad title "Stunning Indian Beauties". Although they are representing themselves as massage parlour but it is promoted with keywords like Escorts in London, High Class Escorts....

    Yes google sees no problem with this business.
    As long as the ad does not have any obscenity, they usually approve them.

    But there is no doubt that the ad is of a massage parlour which infact is a side business and their main business is escorts supply.

    It's legal to run the ad's but they shouldn't be bidding for unrelated terms like "call center india".

    I think it's purely a matter of Escort services being legal in UK.

    I can also see words like 'Sexy' and 'Fulfill' your fantasies" in those ads.

    Its sad that keywords like viagra, smoking pipes, bongs are banned by adwords, but no probs with escorts.

    When it comes to take advertisers' money Google allows everything...

    I have seen viagra ads disguised as 'pharmaceutical alternative' :rolleyes:

    Take a look at the AdWords Content Policy, I would change your mind if you use AdWords or you could be in trouble if you decide to advertise some of these not allowed market using Google network.

    Maybe that's because they have no relevance whatsoever to 'London Escorts'.

    You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

    ^^ sorry I meant my post above as a GENERAL point about what is and isnt allowed on Google, and in the context that neither slavery or trafficking was in their tos.

    I fully understand what escort services are. As said above, providing is isnt one of those escort services where offering a little bit extra (where essentially it becomes prostitution) you should be ok.

    If in doubt email google. Saves trouble later.

    I've been an Adwords customer for more than a year. Google loves to take my money, believe me ...

    I think the problem with VIAGRA is the many copy. They do not want to get sued.
