I need a phone number!

I am so sick of the way Adwords allows people to set up separate bogus accounts and allows them to bid on the same keywords.

This is outrageous!

I have sent Adwords the WHOIS info of 2 sites bidding on identical keywords. Both sites point to the same affiliate program. Adwords is GREEDY! This is against the rules and they should ban this guy's arse permanately.

Who can help?

Adwords guy if you are on here, I tell ya, I spend $600 a day with Adwords. I am about to pull it. I am sick of the way Google turns a blind eye to their "rules" as long as it is profitable for them!

Rules?

You cannot have 2 accounts to bid on the same keywords. Nothing can be done about 2 separate business's owned by the same person but just opening 2 different sites on the same server, same WHOIS info, same owners is obviousl it is a blatant disregard for Adwords criteria.

Is it possible that they are affiliates?

You could be seeing the same destination domain, but even a single character difference in the url might mean its a different advertiser advertising through an affiliate program. This is totally acceptable, as long as they identify themselves as such.

If they have something like an 'aff' or 'affil' in the ad text then this is whats going on. If they don't, then you should at least be able to complain on those grounds if nothing else.

No, I am not wrong. The guys are just throwing together fast multiple sites. Google knows I am right and has said so but continues to allow it.

guys and girls.

please please understand that this is NOT a direct hot line to google adwords support team.

as much as members, moderators and google employees like to post here, personal and direct issues need to be taken up with Google directly.

thanks for understanding.
