Recently google offered us the option to link several of our Adwords accounts and recieve monthly invoices, instead of the weekly credit card charges. Basically they set us up with NET30 credit terms.

A week later they hit us up for an adword violation, which they refered to as "teen porn policy" unbelievably the shut down every one of our adwords campaings, due to the fact that they were all linked as one account for invoicing.

They refuse to reactivate the account and stated, "once the decision is made to suspend an account it is irreversible".

We've tried creating new adword account's using new credit cards and using different IP's from the PC used to apply for the account. A couple of times we have been successful, only to be shut down days later.

We've tinkered with the idea of creating landing pages on a differnt server, and redirecting to our actual site, but are concerned google will pick up on the redirect and cancel again.

Is this a lost cause?

Does anyone have any idea how we can get our sites back up and running with Google Adwords?

Thanks in advance.

Nowhere in your post do you state that you did not violate G's 'teen porn policy'. If you think others here will offer advice on how to skirt Google's policies for the noble cause of peddling teen porn, I think (and hope) that you're gravely mistaken.

I applaud Google's zero tolerance approach to canceling your accounts - and sniffing out your deceptive follow-up tactics.

I totally agree 100000% to your post poster_boy maybe it was Googles way of getting them to put all the accounts together to get rid of the trash. Smart move on Google's part I would say....

About time Google starts to police their Adwords system, and smart move to combine all the accounts into a single one prior to suspension. Congrats!

Looks like you are not going to get any sympathy here, most of the people that post on this forum are do gooders and jobs worths (meaning that they will defend Google until they die)

Adwords bans are notoriously hard to overturn (we haven't had one) but from reading on this forum, you can pretty much forget it. I'm sorry if their banning one account led to all accounts being banned. I actually think that is a joke in itself, watch out MCC agencies etc.

We had one account where the Rep kept encouraging us to get more and more credit, whereas the Quality department was trying to get us not to advertise in certain places.

My take on it, for what it's worth, and having spent many millions with Google, is that they are the victims of thier own success in that one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. The fact that they encouraged you to get credit is irrelevant, but the fact that they are labelling all your accounts as bad is worrying. How do you appeal that one?

Well good luck. I am assuming that you don't peddle teen porn. If you do then you aren't welcome here!
