I recently got banned by AdWords. I tried to re-open an adwords account but all failed.

The 1st try: My friend agreed to have me use his CC info. I used his CC to open an account (in my home with my PC, no proxy used). The account was created successfully but the ads never show.

The 2nd try: Use my another CC with another billing address. Account was created with no error as well, ads cannot display either

The 3rd try: Ask another friend to open an account with his CC remotely. Account was created successfully and ads were displayed. After that, login AdWords in my home with my PC by using proxy, changed the campaign settings and ads disappeared from Google.

Just my experience. Hopefully helpful for othe folks. And any suggestion about how to re-open an adwords account without being detected by google is highly apprecaitely.

I suspect that google's filter system may detect a user's physical location. It cannot detect the street #, I think, but it surelly can get your local area (Your three digits area # and first 3 digits of your local number. say, 310-270-#*$!x). It may also get your real IP even you use proxy. Additionally, it can easily get your machine info (host name, ISP, cookiet, etc).

By combining those info, you are transparent to google.

Ever stop to consider if your ads or URI didn't meet with G's approval?

Seems more plausible for G not to approve a certain type of ad or a certain type of web site than to identify you by the DNA accumulating in your keyboard...

My ads setting are nothing more than usual. Just an affiliate link.
