When you put your keywords list into a group, Adwords doesn't like things like drug names etc.

Is there a large list of many banned words?

Interesting is the amount of warez sold as "warez" that they do accept ( I see the ads all the time on grafix tutorials sites and similar ) ..Also the fake goods seems to be policed very lightly ..'less of course Vuitton are manufacturing in China since they last looked .;)

You can have (legal) drug names in your keywords. I use several. If you're actually selling pharmaceuticals, that's another thing and they don't let just any site do that. But you can have drugs in your keywords for a site that doesn't sell drugs.

I tried to put an ad for Graphics Tablets onto adwords for a client, with the result that it was rejected because it advertised drugs!

Still waiting to see if the appeal is successful.

I'm betting on smooth sailing, JKMitchell!

Talking about banned KWs, there are some brand names or "unacceptable" KWs (two other different situations).

I would be glad to see a list with all these "forbidden KWs"

If someone put such a list online, and ran AdSense on that page...would any ads show up? :)
