I've done a fair amount of searching and can't find any info on whether it is possible to recover from a G slap on a single campaign (not an entire account.) It seems like the big G has been getting particularly slap happy lately, fucking sucks. Even on completely relevant landers with tons of content and even a fair amount of natural back links.

Anyone wanna shoot some shit out there? Opening a new account, starting a new campaign with the same domain or a new one, etc...? Certain niches that they're targeting (obviously dieting.)

Any input would be much appreciated.

Replace "God" with "Google" and the message is accurate.
New MCC account worked for me, but I've been pretty much unable to salvage the old account.
And yes, I'm aware of the gramatical error in the image. I didn't make it.
 
if you want keep your account you can put the same landing page on a new url and make sure it has a new ip address. This should get impressions rolling again. but it is likely that you'll be slapped again, could take anywhere from a day to a month.

whatever url and ip got slapped will never work on google again.

I have never seen a relation to using the same IP, as I have re-uploaded the same campaign to a different domain on the same IP and remained in the clear many times. QS went from 1/10 on the "bad" domain, to 10/10 on a "good" domain on the same IP.

Trying to re-use a slapped domain however, is useless. Once they've flagged a domain with a slap - consider it worthless on Adwords.

I re-uploaded a lot too. Never seen it bind to the IP, but re-uploading is essentially what I blame for my 1st account becoming a steaming pile of crap.

Hmm, how long did it take them on average to eventually re-slap the re-uploaded campaigns? I have yet to see this happen and we're talking many months on my end. I hear some people say they've been re-slapped after a few days or weeks.

Agreed. I've gotten slapped a dozen times and have re-uploaded the same camp, deleted old one (including keywords), and it started cranking again.
 
Say the account is slapped on all campaigns (e.g. you ran Acai and now you get no impressions on content network on any campaign).

Will setting up a new account with the same billing/contact info work? I understand that you lose the historical QS data, but will it run relatively normally (apart from not being able to leverage the historical data for quality)?

Until you hit risk review, it should. Then they'll notice your other account

Acounts bind to a server IP.. Campaigns do not

Still, when you're accessing it from different IP but have the same billing info, the accounts might get linked at some point.

Let me rephrase the question - will Google give you another chance with new account after old account has been slapped? The penalty would be in losing the historical data, but would the new one start with clean slate? I'm assuming that content network would automatically get impressions on the new account, unless it would come to some kind of manual review. Anyone has experience with this?

In other words - what's the best way of recovering from account-wide slap/ban if you don't have multiple billing/contact option available?
 
It should work until it hits risk review. Once it hits risk review they'll find your other account and slap as needed. They may tell you to close the 2nd account, they may ban you, kind of depends on your history.

when you're talking IP above are you talking server IP or IP accessing adwords from?

Any idea how far they go? How about new address/creditcard/contact name but accessed from the same IP as another account? Dangerous? You really need to do all then and then remember which accounts tie to which proxies eh?

What a pita.
