I have had almost all my ads disapproved today for using a website with standard table coding. Is Google going to disapprove probably 50% of all their ads for going to websites that use tables? Maybe they don't like mine because I used a border. No script. No pop up. No pop under. Just a standard table. I even called support and he said they would review it again and email me. Right after that I got more emails like this:

Action taken: Suspended - Pending Revision
Issue(s): Pop-Up

Never Mind! Someone hacked my computer and modified my files. Google pointed it out. ;(

Maybe the site has a popup but you have a popup blocker installed

No, it was on a delayed timer so when I uploaded and checked my files, I didn't see it. The page had to be up for a little bit for it to pop up.

The trojan was called coolwebsearch. It attacked my google management services website, installed the pop up code in the html so that when I updated and uploaded my files to my server, the pop up showed up.

What's even more crazy is that the pop up linked to a website that Google is chasing for trademark violations. That trojan caused my entire Google campaign to shut down for 48 hours. In the meantime, everyone who happened to click on my website (my Overture advertising was still working) got handed advertising for a $39.95 Google e-book until I fixed the code and reloaded the pages last night.
