This keyword is not permitted to show your ads in the targeted location.

What is this supposed to mean? Everything about my ad is "Great" yet this one keyword(s) is showing this message.

 

G has been having problems with the magnifying glass thingy. Use the preview tool - most likely your ads are running.

 

Have you checked your ad. in Google or not? Check it from preview tool

 

You're probably bidding on a trademark in a country where that's illegal.

 

Sites using adsense can choose to forbid certain sites if they wish. Perhaps your ad was targeted for a site that has you banned or a certain keyword banned. Perhaps they feel you are a competitor or something.

In other words, I have an auction site with AdSense on it. AdSense scans my site and finds my keywords to include "auction", but I don't want other auctions sites advertising there. I can go to my AdSense account and manually ban all the auctions sites if I want.

Is yours a targeted campaign or keywords?

 

hrmm,. I Johu might have the answer, I "think" I used the word Ebay in the ad. not sure, if that would raise a flag. I stopped it anyway. Thanks for the help
