HI all, I run a website selling cannabis seeds etc, when i run my adwords they cancel my adds saying it is against there policy, ikept turning them on. now they canceled my account :-( Why will they not accept me, while there aretons of other companies advertising for the same? http://www.google.com/search?q=cann...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7DANL_pt-BR What i'm doing wrong? thanks
Tricky subject - it may be to do with your geo-targeting - I don't know the policy ins and outs on this but I'd be willing to bet that it's illegal to advertise those in some countries (and states in the US?)...
yeah, but i do not advertise in USA. Also they say that i the it is not accepted by general guidelines! Why for some and not for others? or do these guys have some indian guys, making new accounts every couple of days? thanks
Yeah - re-adding the same disapproved ads is a big no no and will cause your account to be banned If you get creative you can bid on related terms... I don't really want to go into too much detail... but use your imagination..
One thing I notice is that the word cannabis is never mentioned in those ads. Like Chris says, use related terms in the ad. However, since the TOS says you can't advertise that sort of thing, don't be surprised to be suspended again. Those advertisers surely will sooner or later as well.
