I got a $50 credit a couple weeks ago, so I set up a new Adwords account. I made a page and got a campaign approved, then added a Javascript redirect to the affiliate page. I went throught the $50 in a couple days and made good money from it, but I didn't have any of my own to spend. Campaign paused.

Well I got some of my own money to spend today, so I started the campaign up again. Got about 50 clicks and all of a sudden the ads stopped showing. Great QS for all keywords, but no more impressions.

Is my account being reviewed? I removed the redirect just in case.
Is there a way they can tell that I have a redirect, like if all the people that visit my site leave in < 1 second or something?
 


Jeez, how many adwords threads do we need? Don't you read the forum before you post?

You are banned or slapped for being an affiliate. Now get over it

I was only doing a legit CPS offer though. All the other threads are about rebills and shit like that.
 
It does not matter, you are an affiliate. Google does not want affiliate business. It is mentioned in black and white in their terms & conditions.
 
new accounts are put under review all the time. call 1866goog you will be back online in 5 hours if your campaign really is legit.

It's legit except for the redirect I want to use. Landing pages suck :(
But it does go to a legit offer.

I just created a new subdomain, made a new campaign with a same ad as the old campaign, and most of the same keywords. Hopefully this goes well...

This happened to me every other week when my account was new. It's no big deal. Just give them a call on monday and you should be good to go. Mention you believe that your account is under review and you would like to get your ads up and running ASAP. Make sure they take action on the same day and email to follow up.

Subdomains will not fix your problem if you are slapped or under review. Slaps required fresh root domains. Either way it being a new account do not do anything to it right now that might look suspect just wait and call them up. I know waiting over the weekend sucks but its what you have to do.

Yeah that sucks, I'm getting no impressions for the subdomain. Thanks for the info, I'll give them a call monday.

I do have another account though, one that I've had forever, and pretty much used it just for some personal sites/projects. Do you think I would be alright making a new campaign on this account since it's older, or will they slap this account too?

Use the old account if there is nothing in there that you don't mind risking losing. If it works immediately request to close the new account. Google will ban both your accounts if they detect your using multiple accounts to promote the same stuff, thats a huge no-no unless you have both accounts in an MMC.
 
Alright I just set up the campaign on my old account and ads are showing, but it looks like all my keywords are 3 points lower than what they were on my new account. :disgust:
