  Google URL Policy Enforcement 1st April - anyone been affected??

I have been running PPC affiliate campaigns for 3 years, and spent over £100,000 with google.....and on 1st of APril BOOM - none of my ads are running any more...apparently they are all Active...all keywords active...but nothing at all.

It's like my account has been blacklisted.

No Alert, no email.....nothing....obviously I have mailed them but there has obviously been no response....

I had been a bit naughty with 2 listings with incorrect URLS for landing pages...but they didn't stop those campaigns. They stopped the whole account.

I then opened a new account but can't seem to make a payment - every card is declined.

Anyone experienced anything similar????

That sounds really harsh. Might be useful to give them a call - I'm pretty sure you'd already have it, but if not, the Adwords support number is 0845 358 0038. A bit quicker than the usual 2 day turnaround on email inquiries.

Maybe they've put the account on hold until they're able to check more closely on something. Or an overenthusiastic trainee doesn't understand tracking codes.

I'm off to search around and see what others have said, as you've got me concerned now that some direct-to-merchant PPCers are being hit.

The thread hasn't been updated since the 27th but this forum member seems like they MAY have exactly the same problem as you but it was before the URL policy change

Please Help

Thanks mate. I know what you mean about the trainees!

Anyway - not only have they stopped all my listings on the old account; but one a colleagues set up (prepaid) and contains funds says it is active - but the ad is not showing...

Still had no reply from Google of course - I will call them - cheers.
