I've been having major problems with Google also.

In this particular case, I would think just making a landing page that has no mention of a dialer is just fine. If they click from your landing page to a page with a dialer, that's not google's concern. They are only concerned with the landing page. In my humble opinion.

They threatened me yesterday about using "disallowed" keywords in my ads. The funny thing about this is that every keyword I use is suggested by their keyword suggestion tool. So when they find that I'm using "underage sex" it's because it was in the list of keywords they suggested I use. So, it's our job to remove the keywords that they don't allow, without knowing what keywords those are, and after they have suggested that we use those keywords. I find that extremely RETARDED.

I called them on it, they appologized, gave me a similar canned message like the one that started this thread, and have warned me that I need to review my keywords from now on.

Seems like they should just fix their bug... :) FUCK YOU GOOGLE!

As DialerMaster said earlier, having a Dialer on your page does not infringe on their new policy.

They added three things:

1) Destination TRIGGERS a dialer
2) A dialer is TRIGGERED after a set amount of time
3) A link for webmasters or advertising (misleading) that is LINKED to a dialer.

I don't think google will remove listings that have a dialer as a payment option. They are removing sites that have blind, misleading and/or triggered dialers.

Oh and just reading it....Google's based in the US right? Why would they use the spelling "programme"? Not to mention there's no info about any of this on their site adwords news site https://adwords.google.com/select/news/index.html ...?

:2 cents:

I emailed exactly this a dozen times to them since monday. So far they seem not to care.

Sad but you are wrong!

My ads got disapproved because I link from my own landing page to, for example, this site http://www.gangbangsquad.com/?revid=XXXX&s=1
I asked them where the dialer is that violated their terms and they replied me this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our AdWords Specialist review all of our ads to ensure that they comply with all of the guidelines. When they reviewed your website they could see a dialer on the following page when you click on pay per minute international access: http://www.gangbangsquad.com/s1/join.html
...This is where the dialer can be found. I assure you that as soon as this is removed from your website, we will be able to review your ads again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So at the moment they don't allow any dialer, nowhere!

Are only campaigns in EU accounts disapproved due to the new dialer policy, or are also campaigns in US accounts disapproved already?

I can only remember webmasters posting here who got there campaigns disapproved from the UK/EU department.

I wish I was right :( ok I change my mind ... go fuck yourselves google! :321GFY

It will take a FUCKLOAD of time for them to dump all ads with dialer in their system. Does human capable of this?...

Did Google hire 100 new people to work on this?
btw I didnt notice yet:winkwink:

really no one with a US account got disapproved yet??

that sounds weird...

Time for the uk to try the SMS billing model @ www.sexybills.co.uk

Although I have to admit that my dialer campaings are still running just fine on Adwords.

mine are disabled for 6 days now. I can explode...

fuck adwords :mad:
