Does a manual review give you some immunity against the filter?

Had a site policy violation and AdWords slap, re-enabled after review

I'm a new AdWords user, trying to advertise my site. It has several affiliate links on all articles, but the actual content is all original. At first, I tried promoting two landing pages, very similar to each other, just about different products:

Entered the first one, created some ads, keywords, etc. Got decent QS, ads start running fine.

Entered the second one, after a minute the ad gets disapproved and entire domain gets "AdWords slap".

Contacted support, they reviewed and re-enabled my site. They told me their algorithm flagged it as "Bridge Page" but they acknowledged that it had enough original content.

I'm not sure if this gives me any immunity against the algorithm, or it can suspend me at any time again. Not trying to do anything sinister, just wondering if I can try running the same ads (with same landing page) that got me suspended, or better stay away from them?

I would guess that it should give the domain immunity for the future. As to whether it will is anyone's guess. Make sure you hang onto your conversation with Support in case you need to refer to it in future - but at least there's a paper trail now, so in the unlikely event that you are arbitrarily suspended or banned, you'll have something to point to that's more likely to get an answer.

I don't understand why it was re-enabled manually if it was a bridge page. But as long as the problem remains, you will get the same thing when the robot visits it the next time. That is, if you don't make the necessary changes.
