I have an article site. Since the existance of google lag I took the adwords route to promote my site. I have no links to affliate sites not even single aff link. But three of my four ads was disapproved saying, that I should Identify myself as an affiliate or distributer in my add. I have no reasons to do so. Any help from anybody?

Hi matrix_neo,

The best thing to do on this is work with Adwords to help identify what you’re doing and why you're not an affiliate. Adwords has a "few" advertisers and sometimes this miss interrupt new advertisers sites but am positive if you contact Adwords and explain your site & services you'll resolve this issue very quickly and become one of the many happy Adwords clients.

Also, figure out how you're going to profit from paying PPC rates for an editorial site!

It also may be an issue that there are alot of affiilates in that KW sector and you were mistaken for one. We had that happen to us so many times when we first started, that we had to have a note added to our account specifically saying that we were indeed a merchant and not an affiliate.

Is that important to google that should make profit out of it? Can't I use ppc to increase popularity of my site? And one more thing will it be a problem if I have adsense on it?

My Idea is if I use adsense I will cover 30% of what I am spending for my ppc plus I get visitors who may turn in to regular visitors.

Excellent!

Taking this as an example, if you ever feel that an ad has been disapproved in error, don't hesitate to reply to the disapproval email, and make your case.

We are completely willing to listen, and adjust on the basis of new information, or simple clarification.
