Your AdWords account: Site violation

**sammyharris** · 20-07-11

Your AdWords account: Site violation. This is the email message I received when I recently tried to use Adwords to get some extra traffic to my site.

The email message was very brief and included such sentences as below :

We've reviewed your account and found that one of your sites is in
violation of our Landing Page and Site Policies.
Please note that ad traffic to the above URL will be suspended and all new
ads pointing to this URL will be disapproved.

How serious is this? My site niche is male enhancement.This site IS NOT pornographic or seedy and generally does provide information on the subject. The content is all unique and I have worked really hard on the site and only picked reputable companies to work with. Also does this now mean my site won't shown in googles results. Please Help, I'm grateful for any replies.

Have you checked if your landing page falls foul of the AdWords health care policy?

It could also go against the bridge page policy: Bridge page - AdWords Help

In addition to the above Adwords have a policy on unrealistic claims

Maybe you're offering something that G doesn't think is possible?

If you see that message take it very seriously. I had it after my last campaign was created, which caused a review of a shed load of campaigns I had set up on my account but were paused because I had moved on. Next thing I had three more emails saying I was in violation blah-di-blah and now I'm banned.

This got me thinking... If I have a site about the damaged alcohol can do to you, is there a chance google can ban you from adsense etc if your giving medical advice in a way ?

Is it an affiliate site (bridge page) or are you promoting a product of your own?

You have to be very careful how you promote the male enhancement niche, especially using Google.

Google is known to throw a fit over certain niches, whether merited or not. If you're promoting affiliate offers and Google decides that this is your sole purpose, they will hit you with a low quality score - and these messages. Keep on doing it and you'll find yourself banned from Adwords like many of us affiliates were back in 2009.

To be honest, if male enhancement is your niche, there are much better traffic sources out there that cater exactly for your market. Google isn't worth the time.

From the Adwords site, it says that the following is not acceptable on Adwords "...Products that promise penis enlargement without surgical intervention"
