PPC ad has shown a 404 error for 2 weeks.and is still showing !

[kads]

I banned two of my affiliates who were up to no good. Now there PPC ads give a 404 error page, but the ads still show live in google!

Its been like this for 2 weeks. Does anyone know how I can get the ads removed? They appear on a search for my website and it looks ugly and bad on me if someone clicks the ad.

Thanks in advance

You can't stop the showing of an ad unless it's your own account.

Why not tell them to stop. Maybe they just don't realize they still have ads running linked to your site. Tell them that their banning includes PPC. Remind them that each time someone clicks on their ad, they are being charged by Google.

Are the ads only appearing on a search for your site? I assume you mean their ads only appear when you search for "mysite.com" and no other keywords. If that's the case, I don't see it as a biggie but I do understand your concerns.

Use the form at [adwords.google.com...] to let Google know that the specific ads violate the policy that "The Destination URL must work" (from [adwords.google.com...] ).

That should get the ads disapproved, and consequently they should stop appearing.
