I don't know if you ever saw this, but what about that article on blackhat SEM by Mikkel DeMib, in the search marketing journal? His point was that since Google wnat your dough, you can push the limits and break them even, and if you get caught, then you just need to comply temporarily...

Thanks for your help with this one, much appreciated!

First I was banned at
Google checkout, then when I complained at adwords that I would reduce my budget they banned me there. In neither case was a reason given. In fact they refused to give a reason saying it was a security issue. You would have to take my word for it but I run a perfectly good and honest business more honest, if you will, than many of my competitors who are not banned. I can say in my case this was arbitrary and not justified. I suggest a class action lawsuit against google

i also got banned from adwords well they can't blame us. they used to have a glitch. my keyword was worth $12 per click when in fact it only shld cost .50 cents. now they banned me for life. And no matter what i do, i cant get back. I used a diff debit card, new name, zip code, billing address, URL, new website, new concept, from freckles treatment to psychic reading, new PC, new IP, I even went from one city to another just so the geographic location will be farther. nothing worked. it will run for 1 day and the next day nothing. they will not inform you. your keywords will say active but u cant see ur ad. i dont know what else to do. Setup an account in a different country?

If you had a serious adwords business and want to get it back, there is a MUCH easier way to get it back.

- You can log in to your account from home even though Google tracks your IP Address

- No more signing up at a relatives or friends house

- Google will never know the difference

Email me aacrepairbible@gmail.com for more information.

aacrepairbible@gmail.com- OK...I am now frustrated for those who are banned. This isn't hard and reapplying to g-oogle(like I did) will rarely yield fruit people. Moderator, please forward my email address to anyone who has been banned so I can get them back up and running quick.

if someone has any tips or advice that work on how to get back in after being banned, i'd *greatly* appreciate an email timefan [at] live.com

My husband's Adwords account got shut down for an erroneous reason, so we started a new account in my name with different address (used a business address) and different credit card. And guess what? They've shut me down for allegedly the same reasons, and I hadn't even placed one ad! We think it's because we have the same IP address. They can't possibly be going by the same last name - ours is too common. Very frustrating - this is our livelihood they have just shut down.

I would love to get some advise from anyone who has been susspended from Google Adwords, about how to get back on. No one at the organisation seems to want to listen to us! Thanks dave@mobilityequipment.co.uk

This is so infuriating! Why is Google getting away with this and still being King of the Internet AdWords? Isnt' there another site that all of us, who were banned from Google without just cause, can join and push that program up to the top? I am willing to look into it if anyone wants to follow me?

Hi Mary,
Coun't me in. Google isn't the law, I don't know how they can get away with it... no other business would be able to.

Got banned last week after 5 years of adwords advertising! - just told me I had violated their TOS too often but couldn't (wouldn't) give me specifics. It seems those making the decisions are faceless and answerable to nobody. What was really ironic was that two days later they sent me a guide on converting visitors into buyers! some kind of sick joke I think.

i have a outstanding of about 5000$ on adwords. my card was declined and google says that add another card. when i add card they dont show card option like visa or mastercard, so i am not able to add card. what should i do.

My ads too were banned from Google adwords, their reason a breach of the tobacco policy although my products don't contain tobacco! They told me the only way to continue advertising was to remove all content of any tobacco related product from my website, so I asked them what is the use of that? then my website would be useless.... I would welcome an alternative to adwords if anyone knows of a good one. Cheers

I was banned by Google a while back - not just the account ban, but the "never-come-back" ban that Jon was talking about - and it was extremely difficult to get back in. The hardest part was figuring out how they were tracking me from account-to-account, so if this happened to you, let me tell you what you need to change:

- Your IP address. Easy; just reset your modem.
- Your email. Obviously, another easy one.
- Your credit card number. Call in and choose the "I lost my credit card" option, and your credit card company should immediately send you a new card with no questions asked.
- Your phone number. A little harder, but Google never seems to call, so you probably can just enter a random number and it'll be fine. If you want to get a real number, Kall8 (http://www.kall8.com) offers toll-free voicemail/forwarding numbers for $2/mo.
- Your address. This is the hardest of all, but it is also completely necessary, since you must change your credit card's billing address to this new address. I've been using Mailbox Forwarding (http://www.mailboxforwarding.com) to get a remote address where I can view scanned copies of my mail online for $10/mo. Just sign up for an account, change your credit card billing address to to the box # they give you, and you're free of Google.

Not easy by any means, but doable.

Re: How to get back in. Did you use your same name?

how about the name on the card and the website url

I'm suspended too without explanation. Google become bad.

hey dorn thankx for your detailed steps on how to get back on adword . just a question.
- what about the url of my website? will that matter? can they suspend if i use the same website ?

My google adwords account got banned today ! I have the account for over 5 years and all I was running recently were some affiliate offers - via proper landing pages using Wordpress Blog - all very good. Till the account was banned Google was giving me 10/10 for my Landing Page Quality scores ! And now they say I have had an egregious violation of their TOS ! Incredible ! No warnings nothing - just abruptly terminate my account. And of course, the mighly google thinks that the offense you have comitted warrants that YOU ARE BANNED FOR LIFE ! That is the most incredible part - even hardened criminals get a second chance and parole - but hey if your landing page violated Google's sensibilities they dont think you EVER can change ! This is totally insane and must be stopped - Google is out of control, out of touch with reality. I suggest that ALL google Adwords customers who have been banned, come together and FILE A HUGE class action suit against this 800 pound gorilla . Where are the lawyers when you need them ?

i have tried to open new account, reset my modem, new email , new credit card number, new phone number, new address and find out that it related to another account that was suspended

mine got banned this morning. they said my landing page was violating their terms and said that it will be banned for life and said that if i open a new account, they will shut it down immediately. ~Basically they said i am banned from using adwords for life and never come back. Why? just because of my landing pagE?

Mine got banned this morning too!!! So infuriating. Looks like they're changing up a bunch of shite and being way more strict. Well, Screw Google! I've been studying them now for years, all this wasted time learning to Optimize to please them.

Also, I haven't run any traffic to ads in months!! No explanation. No nothing. just a nice life-ban.

I just was banned from google today as well - with no reason after 2 years and 1000s of dollars - what happened? Is this a big google mistake?

My Google Adwords Account Was Banned for life today without warning.! Had that account for years. What a joke...!

I had my account banned as well. Google's philosophy on how it treats advertisers seems to be born out of arrogance. I switched over to Microsoft products only. After years of advertising I get this kind of treatment. Webmasters stop being after of these bastards. Speak your mind, break free from the Google Internet Prison! Everyone puts up with it because they own the Internet. Enough is enough!

it still did not work with me so i added
deleted cookies if there anything else email me at p360xbox@hotmail.com
new ip
new email
new credit card number
new phone number
new address
and delete cookies

Happened to me too - changed all as suggested above (new IP, new name, new address, new bank details). Only thing not changed is my computer. Set up an adwords account - runs for a week or so and them gets "Reviewed" and then suspended. DOES GOOGLE HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR HARDDRIVE?

Yes, they can flash cookie your drive. I have heard they have other ways as well of identifying your computer. This is why alot of people suggest getting a new PC as well. All this so they can probably just ban you again in a month for the same crap. Well, I did not have all my eggs in one basket but as you all know Google is the biggest basket so without them I am losing my house, car, everything. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Google. I have been working with Google in one form or another for 10 years now. Arrogant pr|cks that they are. ANd for all of you who say" good riddance" "I am glad google is cleaning up the net" please give me your address so I can send you a christmas card and photo of my homeless family. I did nothing "illegal" and resent being treated as a criminal. My account banning has caused me so much psychological stress it as started to ruin my life. Literally. My doctor is even trying to put me in anti depressents. I have tried to "roll with the punches" but I am one of those guys who had 7/10 - 10/10 quality scores and got whacked in the dead of night for "egregiousness" violations taking away a lions portion of my income overnight. Since then I have removed every piece of Google crap from every machine I have and will never use them for search again. Not like it makes a huge difference but if everyone starts doing it it will. I removed Google desktop, toolbar, and anything else associated with them. I used to recommend Google search to everyone. Now I either keep my mouth shut or tell them to use Bing.

and delete your cookies

call u credit card compagny to let them know u lost your card, when u receive your new credit card with the same name and address but different credit card number delete all your cookies and make sure they are, reset your modem create new email, sign up under new email create campaign but cannot use any domains used in suspended account then for billing details enter number on card for the name switch first name and name and for address enter another address u know the postal code

First of All You need to 1.) change your ip address. (change your isp or purchase premium ip hide software to change your location) Change you computer ( Google get information from your pc such like your network port,). Remember the google toolbar studies the site you visits ad so forth, ie Google nows your behaviour. Change your signup email. Do things differently. Use a friend credit card or get a new one in a different name. I hope this will help.. Remember do things differently. Check your old emails on the old computer etc. Check out this site http://bit.ly/87sGeJ
