Banned from AdWords?

[T.J.]

Has anyone been banned from using AdWords before?
I'm currently running a little campaign and have been warned 4 times now
in the past couple of days. I alter the text slightly and eveything runs OK
again. When changing it to something else I risk getting warned again.
How many warnings do you get before stating to worry about things?
TIA.

I take it you are just receicing the email saying that a campaign has been stopped because it is against the guidelines? If so I've had loads of these through no deliberate act to deceive, such as punctuation errors etc.

If it's just gramatical errors then you are pretty much cool. if you don't understand what's required read up online or give adwords a ring,

but if you are being "creative" with display URL's and sending direct to merchant instead of your own sites etc. then tread carefully... sooner or later you will get a "FINAL WARNING" type heartstopper email :eek:

Thanks,
Yes, that's the ones I've been getting, along with this

Action taken: Suspended - Pending Revision
Issue(s): Unclear/Inaccurate Ad Text

The thing is, it is a satire site, so the ads are deliberatly a bit unclear.
I'm pushing the descriptions as far as possible, but don't want to push it too
far to get my account stopped.
Anyone ever been banned for running Unclear/Inaccurate Ad Text or will I
just keep getting suspended on the ones I go to far on?

Well, it might be worth easing back a bit on those ads. You really, really don't want an AdWords ban.

Why not go for a more accurate description?
