All Caps Acronyms

Ad Words won't allow

I tried to include a 4 letter acronym in one of the description lines of an AdWord ad, but it was rejected because of inappropriate capitalization. The acronym just does not look right in lower case. Any way around this?

Lots of times the AdWords system will spit out a message to the effect that some ads may not meet the editorial guidelines (due to caps in acronyms) but will review them and let them run. It probably depends on the ad.

That message shows up all the time for one "mature" keyword acronym but Google lets em' go live.

i have one headline that has *three* ALL CAPS acronyms (a total of nine letters). i got the automatic message, notifying me that my ad might violate the guidelins, but let it ride.

it was approved, as all three "words" would make no sense with initial caps only.

just a small correction... it's actually *four* all CAPS acronyms in my headline... a total of 12 letters!
