Ginny Marvin from Search Engine Land wrote Why are payday loan ads still showing on Google after the ban? and then the next day, she reported a huge drop in the number of Payday Loan ads being shown in the AdWords results.

She posted on Twitter "what in seeing this morning for payday loans in incognito vs signed-in. Big change from just yesterday." She shared these side by side screen shots:

Before After

I think the issue is that payday loan advertisers keep finding loopholes back into AdWords and it is a cat and mouse game, where Google is always one step behind. I can obviously be wrong but you should read Ginny's article about the issue.

Just to remind you, Google banned payday loan ads from AdWords months and months ago.
