I don't think it's that at all, I think they are taking an active stance on porn now. I tried to get an AdWords campaign running last week, and they disapproved all of my ads, because my website has a "teen" category. They are now removing all sites with a teen category, or who advertise "teen xxx" "teen porn" "school girls" etc.

I'm considering renaming the category something like Twenties and see if they bite, but wtf?! Teen is one of the biggest and most popular categories we have, it's a bit crippling. And for what? Maybe I'll just try Yahoo instead.

For what it's worth, my large text based informational website took a massive beating in the summer, single day drop of about 80% in google traffic. Still haven't recovered. :/ No idea why. Any advice appreciated
