Is Google Eligable For Adwords? Probably Not

It appears Google has become so big they can afford step on the little guys.

We got the email today, the one that says one of our sites is "thin" and we are shutting down this URL... If we try to play again we will probably be banned for our actions, possibly shot.

I've been running my business this way since 2003 and have had plenty of help from Google adwords reps along the way, they have been more than happy to take our money. Yes we are affiliates and yes we make our living via other websites, guilty we are. I think its a little ironic that Google shuts people down for running links to other sites in order to make money when a typical Google results page is nothing but links to other sites, scraped content in actual fact. By their own policy guidelines they should probably shut down their own adwords account.

Same thing happened to me recently. My site had little content but it made a killing for 3-4 years just linking to affiliate sites sending visitors to buy products. Got an email from them recently telling me I would be banned if I continue. I lost a lot of income because of this.

I did sign up with another credit card to advertise with a new domain, which they banned within a week.

But oh well, not much I can do.

Just as a matte of interest dirctwheels, what kind of products was your site promoting?
