I have an affiliate site targetting USA customers and opted Adwords for promoting my site but following error occured.

Online Pharmacy ID Required [? ]
Your keyword list appears to contain pharmacy-related content while targeting the United States. Google policy requires online pharmacies and online pharmacy affiliates in the U.S. and Canada with ads or keywords targeting the U.S. or U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands) to provide a valid SquareTrade ID.

The SquareTrade program is only open to pharmacies based in the U.S. or Canada. Google policy does not allow AdWords ads for prescription drugs to be displayed in other countries.

Please enter a valid ID or an exception request in the box below. When you are finished, click "Save" at the bottom of this page to submit your changes. You should only request an exception if you feel our online pharmacy policy does not apply to your ad.
---------------------

Kindly do let me know how should I proceed?

SquareTrade will only verify you if you are an approved pharmacy or an affiliate of an approved pharmacy, and in the US or Canada.

If you or your site dont meet those requirements you are stuffed. All the info is on squaretrade site though.

If you are NOT pharmacy related, you can request exceptions. I run into this all the time as one of my clients uses words that trigger the pharmacy warning, even though they are not a pharmacy; every exception I've ever requested has been granted, but sometimes it takes some extra time. Same thing with casino and gaming industry words. Just part of the game.
