500 adwords accounts?

You may have violated some TOS. Google banned you?

[blueideal]

Why banned me?

I have paid google for every accounts.

[SincerelySandy]

Are these 500 accounts ones that you manage for clients? If not, how does someone get 500 credit cards?

[blueideal]

Yes,I manage these accounts for my customers.

[netmeg]

I suggest you call Google

[poster_boy]

Do these 500 accounts compete in the same industries or different ones?

[ThreeMikes]

I can't help but chuckle a bit on this post...

You manage 500+ adwords accounts on behalf of clients (not adgroups but individual accounts), 300 of which just stopped showing up at all today, and you went to post on WebmasterWorld to find out what is going on?

If I were you, between nonstop phonecalls from irate clients, I would be on the phone with my agency rep at Google demanding that this be dealt with immediately.

Sure we are talking about 300 unique, separate client accounts all with their own billing that just happen to be managed by you (I assume through your MCC) all simultaneously failing?

[ronmcd]

If they arent linked though MCC google may have spotted some sort of link (login ip's?), and started a review on those accounts. Unfortunately they never tell you when you are being reviewed, your account just stops.

[humblebeginnings]

Blueideal,

I think some forum-members, including myself, think your post is rather curious, to say the least.
I sure hope the fake-posters haven't made the jump from the Adsense to the Adwords forum.

(I apologize if I am completely on the wrong track here)

[Khensu]

Yeah,

These people just show up out of the blue with this stuff.

If he was a legit heavy user don't you think he would be enrolled in this forum earlier?

We need a seperate forum:

Uncommon Adsense/Adwords Stuff:

MFAs, unbelivable schemes, crazy scams, I manage a billion keywords and need help and I can't belive I just got banned.

And leave the regular whitehat people alone.

[netmeg]

I dunno how anyone could manage 500 accounts of *anything*. Does he get no sleep? I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I need to go lie down.

[Khensu]

We could call it "The Google Ads Emergency Room".

Any willing Ad Doctors could then volunteer time and take it as a tax deduction.

That would leave the rest of us with two topics, how to think like the Algo and fishing.

[humblebeginnings]

"Any willing Ad Doctors could then volunteer time and take it as a tax deduction."

Do they have like, ad nurses and stuff...

[Khensu]

Yep,

And bed pans and catheters for the banned ones.

It is like the guy the other day who ran up $2K+ on Adwords and didn't want to pay it. I told him he should have his mouse finger amputated.

[ronmcd]

If he was a legit heavy user don't you think he would be enrolled in this forum earlier?

I see youve been legit for a month now Khensu ;-)

[GAds]

It may be that you haven't made the best of the accounts you have already opened. If you have a whole lot of accounts with only one or two keyword(s) in it, and they don't generate much traffic, that will be a problem. If I were Google, I too would have some ill feelings about that. My company has hundreds of Adwords clients but we only manage 50 or so accounts.

So the suggestion is, it's really not necessary to open an account for each very client. Combine some of the accounts into one, and try to reuse those deserted accounts for new customers.

[Khensu]

My site has been up since 1998 and has been #1 on Google and Yahoo since then(1 of 4 major keywords), I was the 4th competitor in my software niche which now has 150. Actually I was doing great until PPC. It allowed others with mediocre product to be placed above me just because they could outspend me. Sales were so bad last fall I went free in December and put Adsense on my site for extra revenue. I have an Adwords account that doubles my SE volume. I have been reading the Adsense forum since December and just couldn't stand keeping my mouth shut.

AND I did't come running in the front door with some crazy problem. I am amazed on how much corruption and scaming goes on with PPC. (don't be offended I know there are real honest people doing it too.)

[ronmcd]

Thats my point Khensu, being a new member of a forum says nothing about your legitimacy, or how big a player you are. I'm certainly not questioning yours because you only recently joined.

[mona]

Exactly, ronmcd. OK, let's work the problem here, people:-) Blueideal, have you contacted someone at Google? Is your account fixed?

[Khensu]

I am just saying if I was a big player like Blueideal I would be signed-up to this forum a long time ago. Just to keep ahead of the curve and up on things as now it is my livelihood.

I am just taken back when someone drops in here and the first thing they have is a major meltdown.

It just makes you wonder....

Yes he should get some help... but he is not explaining the situation very well.

[humblebeginnings]

I agree with Khensu,

If you indeed have 500 Adwords accounts you must be one the most experienced WW-members around.
It's not very likely that if someone that experienced is losing 300 accounts, he will come to this forum asking "What happened to these accounts?"
An experienced Adwords user knows that we of course don't know what happened to his accounts.

[dave741]

Ya, 5 posts and 500 accounts. This really smells...

[ronmcd]

I disagree, I know of a number of people making their fulltime living on adwords who never join or post on this forum. You dont have to be a member of WW to use adwords. And Im sure theres huge numbers of long-term advertisers who've never heard of WW.

Just cos you go to particular sites doesnt mean everyone else does.

[ThreeMikes]

My .02...

1) Being an active participant in the WebmasterWorld forums is hardly a requisite to being an experienced or successfull search engine marketer or adwords expert. We run one of the larger US PPC management firms and have never personally had the need to tap into this (admittedly excellent) resource to stay up on our industry (as my recent involvement and few posts can attest). That's said, obviously many here are veterans and it is and has been one of the best places to go for answers on a variety of topics. But to judge a user's legitimacy by their extent of involement (or by an account-to-post ratio) on WebmasterWorld is absurd.

2) That said, I do think it is entirely fair to make judgements based on actual comments made, and this particular issue of 300 of 500 accounts mysteriously going inactive is certainly an eyebrow raiser.
