I'm trying to get some ads approved which relate to a certain kind of alcoholic drink. There are currently 3 competing campaigns that all are running right now for exactly the keywords I'm bidding on, but not getting approved for.
Now, the target url I am putting in my ad also is very informative about this kind of drink, so is there a away that I can not outright seem like I'm looking to sell the product?
Here are examples of other campaigns that are running right now for these keywords I'm trying to get my ads approved for. The "product name" is the name of the alcoholic drink.

"product name" Glasses & Spoons
"product name" flasks, T-shirts and gifts
Great prices & Guaranteed delivery

This one below really gets me. They have the keyword "buy" in the top of the ad, followed by the name of the alcoholic drink! How the heck did they get approved for this, when it was the same reason I was disapproved?
******************
buy "product name"
Hot deals. buy "product name"

Any suggestions on what I should do? And is there such a thing as resubmitting your ads for approval too many times?

Rather than resubmitting your ads, email support and ask what the problem is, pointing out the other ads. Then be prepared to wait.

mthomas, I think your best bet is to try to work with the review teams - and to specifically ask them what you could do to have your particular combination of keywords/ad copy/landing page/site be approvable.

No, not really - with one notable exception. The exception is if an advertiser were to repeatedly submit new Ad Groups which simply ignored the requests for changes that are a part of a disapproval email.

I seem to not be having much luck via email with them. Do you know of any phone numbers I could call to get in direct contact with someone who could work with me to get my ad/keywords approved? You work for google, right?
This is really frustrating. I'm sitting here looking at an ad which is basically identical to mine, and all of the keywords I've chosen trigger their ad.
Just seems like a big double standard - rules should apply equally across the board for all advertisers.
