Out of interest - why do you think your landing pages were considered 'low quality'? Would you be able to describe them so others can avoid the same fate?

I don't know why. Google will not tell you the reason so you can not prevent it in the future.

I think the only option to prevent a ban is sending an email to Adwords support and ask them to approve (or not approve) a website you would like to promote before you create a new campaign/adgroup. From now on I will use this method.

And, finally, are you certain it's not because you are advertising products that Google have gone after? Acai berries, anti-aging hokum, etc.

Not in my case. None of the products are on Googles list with products or services they don't like (that would also raise a different warning). I always use direct linking to the vendors website.

And did anyone notice that Google always sends this kind of stuff on a friday? So you have to wait at least three days before you get a reply via email (although it's a multi billion industry somehow they can't afford support during weekends).
