Has ANYONE ever run a successful campaign with these guys?

I'm on my 6th attempt and this time I get

Action taken: Suspended - Pending Revision
Issue(s): Promotional Language, Superlatives

OH MY GOD! People might want to use 'Promotional Language'
in an advertisement...

I used 'Hottest' and now they are asking for proof that 'Hottest'
is a justified word. Anybody got a sham award company on the
shelf that they can deem the site the 'Hottest' in an official
capacity?

If you think Adwords is bad because they're declining your adcopies, you should try Overture, they'll deny much more and make you feel like you're worthless. Don't you just love PPC advertising.

I finally gave up with overture a LONG time ago because of that.

Google isn't so bad although it seems some 'reviewers' will accept things others reject.

Adwords is bizarre...it is really dependant on the reviewer. But if you use simple language you should be fine, just avoid words like hottest or best, etc.

It also seems that the first week is the make/break for adwords...if your ad makes it past that first week it (including click percentages) then you are set.

Cheers!

No

Search on Google for 'pussy' for example and you'll see

First they dont let your write what you want and then they send you traffic you dont need

overture is a total mind fuck. They accept the same shit one day and decline it the next.

They have a totally fluid review process.

They piss on you.
