Adwords ban
-
my client has 2 adwords accounts - one banned in 2009 and one where 9 of 11 ads are suspended - the other 2 ads run and he pays 6k per month for traffic - he still has net60 terms with no limit on ad spend b/c his offer converts so well.
he wants to clear his name so we can proceed further without risk of being banned - he is paying me a pretty penny to turn his 4/10 qual scores into 9's and 10's - he will get 2x the traffic at 1/2 the price and i am looking to make a major 6 figure bump to his bottom line this year so he can jstify paying my exhorbitant fee.
lol.
i am not getting much help from the folks over at the Big G - to be expected - they have suspended 9 of his ads for "artificial ad traffic" - at least that is their reason - any way he is legit - in biz for 12 years online - with 60,000 customers on his list and over 1000 testimonials on his site - my question is is there any way GG will connect the dots in 4 months once i have his adwords campaign fully optimized and running smoothly and say "hey arent you the guy who we suspended twice over the past 2 years???" or are we to be judged simply on what we do from here forward with this new account?
i am having his designer create 100 new landing pages to match the 100 unique ads for the 100 exactmatch kw's for the 100 unique ad groups - lotta work - but once its done its 10/10 across the board - with no mention of artificially boosting someone's traffic -- although isnt that what everyone is doing when they buy visits to their sites? this goes on all day long and no o ne seems to care - except GG but my client sells real human traffic not bot generated crap.
all love,
EZ

yes, barry. i want to cease all activity from previous accounts and start fresh. i want everything to be done above board unlike before when his last ppc guy just created a new account after the first was banned. i just want to get him set up clean and not have to worry about a future ban as long as i am creating ads according to gg's best practices.

thanks dave -
so if we pause all previous activity and start fresh with a new account then am i correct in assuming that google will simply "judge us" based on what we do from here on out?
i just cant risk another ban even though i have yet to work with this client i just want to reassure him that we wont get banned as long as we dont make false claims.
i really would like to ind out how to dispute this latest google suspension of 9 ads due to "artificial ad traffic" - they suspend the ads and email my client about it but did not include any link to how to lift the suspension or what recourse he has if any at all.
so our site wont be taking up 2 spots but how can we guarantee that we dont get banned or suspended 3 months down the road unless we can somehow address this artificial ad traffic issue now? wont it come up again and again?
he sells real human traffic. i think GG thinks it is just bot traffic designed to inflate traffic stats artificially.
any advice?

So you're set up in My Client Center and will be shutting down his existing campaign? If so, then you should be alright
If you're just making another account for him then you're breaking the ToS - http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8759

You can have as many accounts as you want the issue is double serving for the same keyword. Google doesnt want your site taking up two spots.

i appreciate all your help. the only way to get anything done is to know someone who knows someone. thanks again.

picture this...i meet this guy...he becomes my client and asks me to set up an adwords campaign for him...how would i ever know how many times he has done this in the past unless he just tells me. i would never have any way of knowing if he has 2 accounts or 20 so in that respect i dont understand how anything like that could be enforceable.
plus an actual GG emplyee told me i can have as many accounts as i want. that is the trouble these days. there really is too much misinformation everywhere. its hard to know who is telling the truth anymore.
-
i just emailed him? her? either way - thx for the tip. who exactly is this that i am emailing?
-
It's against the ToS to have multiple adwords accounts unless you've sought prior permission. If caught I'd expect them to shut down all your accounts.
The end of your question is just nonsense though and you seem to have accidentally a word or two.
Are you looking for a contact who can help you remove the ban?

Adwords structure issue
Background: We manufacture and sell our own products to the UK and English speaking world. We rank well for major terms but there is lots more traffic to be had with PPC so we've always used Adwords At present I target keywords in 3 ways. 1. I have an [exact match] campaign that I use to target terms like [acme widget] 2. I have a broad match campaign that I use to target keyword targets I have identified through research like +blue +acme +widget. 3. I have an even broader campaign that I use to target the very long tail terms that it would be too time consuming to create groups and ads for like +camo +rocket +acme +widget The problem: My 3rd category won't show! I use varied bids to make sure the more relevant ads show where they overlap (eg 2nd campaign bid is 50% of 1st campaign, 3rd campaign bid is 50% of 2nd) but 3rd campaign wont show for long tail searches when I test it with the random crap that people search for! I get the error message... Your ad isn't being displayed for this keyword because there may be other ads within your account that are ranked higher and have similar keywords. 2 questions I suppose, is my structure acceptable and if it should work why isn't it?! Thanks so much all! Matthew

Using + in Adwords URL
Hi. I am using keywords in my Destination URL in Adwords. So http://example.com/?football+boots+supplier This was done by someone else and I am trying to understand the full meaning behind this. If I go to the page it links to, it is just the homepage of the website but obviously shows up in Analytics as a landing page that stills out from the general landing page of homepage / Is that the reason so its easier to track the data? I would have though using the Paid referral in Analytics does this better? Any help be great. Thanks

Which of my products should I advertise for first using Adwords?
Serious Adwords noob here. I have been reading a great deal in preparation for my first Adwords campaign. Strangely enough, I have not been able to find information that might help me determine which of my 180+ products I should begin with and use in my first campaign. I imagine that there is some sort of general criterion like the highest selling item, lowest, one meeting certain criterion in the popularity of it's keywords/difficulty, one with least competition or, most likely, something that I haven't even thought of. Does anyone have any suggestions or a link to something I might be able to read to solve this? Thanks for your help!

Potential problems with multiple users of an adwords MCC
Morning all, I have had a query regarding granting access to an MCC account for people using various platforms. Now this a pretty specific query for an area outside my expertise, and conveniently both our PPC guys are on holiday so thought i would reach out to the community. Full request is this: "On the mcc I am slightly concerned about that, from experience I have run into problems especially with granting access for usage of API’s on an account, so if for example we wanted to use marin they would need access then another wanted to use adobe they would need another and if they are all sat under the SSM teams mcc that could be problematic or we would have to set up another." Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom.

Redirecting AdWords Display URLs
I feel it's a best practice (from a user experience POV) to create a 301redirect when using a fictitious display URL in your PPC ads. And according to the AdWords help page (http://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=175906&rd=2) Google doesn't have an issue using a redirect. "Redirects used for tracking purposes are fine as long as the final landing page has the same domain as the display URL." I'm curious if there is ad score penalty if one does not ionclude a redirect - i.e. the user types in your display URL and gets a 404. Has anyone seen an evidence of this?

Linking Adwords to Analytics for Multiple Clients
what is the best practice for this? Right now everything is under many different passwords and logins, yet conforming them all to one comes with a bunch of loopholes and bumps along the way. Does anyone know how to get a few clients under the same username and password (linking the AdWords and Analytics for each of them)?
