Google Account Resurrection

[GetReal]

I was permanently banned from Google about 18 months ago. Never really understood why, never received a detailed indication on the violations. I do run an affiliate marketing business, and I imagine that we failed the “bridge page” issue.

I’ve now redesigned and reconfigured our site(s), and now they are very close to other sites that promote the same products that are still active on Google AdWords.

So the question I have for the forum how do I approach Google on resurrection of our account? Does anyone out there have any experience with suspended accounts, and getting their account reinstated?

Do I need a new URL?

Thanks...

Permanently banned? You need a new name, new credit card, new URL, and maybe a new host, and for good measure, no links in common with your old site.

When Google says permanent, they usually mean it.

netmeg's right, Google be meaning business -- you can't raise it back from the dead...

Not sure but if you want to fly below the radar this time around, I'd recommend you change from being close to what other active ads are doing to meeting or exceeding what Google requires as there are plenty of active ads that are not in compliance with one or more policies.

We were suspended for Landing page and site policies violation. In our account the following is mentioned:

If your account was suspended for violating our landing page and site policies, unfortunately we can no longer accept advertising from you unless you've made significant changes to your website in order to comply with our policies. Please note that in certain circumstances, your website might not be able to comply without an actual change in business practices. If you believe that your website is now in compliance, contact us, describing the changes that you've made.

So this is what I’m trying to find out if anyone has had any luck with making modifications to an account and associated URL and actually had Google reinstate the account. Or is it better to get a new URL, and make all the necessary changes and then try to get Google to reinstate a suspended account?

Thanks

If you are looking for new account then i suggest you to open it as soon as possible because now as per Google new algorithm it is very difficult to get approval for new account.
Forgot about old account and start new one.

I have a valid AdSense and Google Affiliate Network account off the same account. The AdWords account is the only portion of the main account that is suspended; the AdSense and Affiliate Network are valid.

But with that said, I did sign up for a new AdWords account a few months with a different e-mail address.
