    I simply called them and after she reviewed my ads, my keywords and landing pages, she stated that my keywords were extremely relevant, my ads were accurate and certainly compliant, and my landing pages had nothing wrong with them that she could see.
    So a quality review person will check them over and get back to me. Hopefully with everything back to "normal".

    Based on what I've seen around, it seems to have been a sledgehammer that tagged a ton of extra people. So I'd call or write them first, and simply layout your argument that you have relevant keyword, relevant ads to keywords, and relevant landing pages. A clear honest line from google to your page. And ask them to hand review please.

      From what I'm hearing, the reps can only encourage a re-review by the automated landing page bot.. they don't have an override. Please keep me updated on that situation, I'm interested.

        I've spoken to half a dozen or so people who've called yesterday and today and are waiting outcome of hand review by the quality control team. Most havent touched anything at all, just the phone

        I tinkered with 1 ad that was overdue for a good tinker, lol. So I let her know that I didnt care if that one had to wait to be re-approved or whatever, but please have them hand check it for quality, relevancy etc. and let me know the outcome.

        But other wise they can flag them manually. I've had it done once before because of a different reason.

          I guess you missed the big shakeup where they disabled tons of ads over the past few days

                np.. seriously though, good luck with this. Adwords hit me real hard yesterday, killed my 3 best campaigns, so I hope you really do have a great system in place to 'beat' the system. I lost all respect for that company, mainly considering what they've done is completely arbitrary. It's not like they had a consistent pattern, or only removed the real junk sites. They removed random sites whether they were relevant or not for whatever reason and then just used the 'quality score' thing as an excuse.

                  well there were other updates back in april that did similar things to many people, which is what prompted this development.

                  i recovered my pre-april-sweep bids and did not have ANY impact from this weeks sweep.. so i'd say its working.

                    Yea, that one just hit one of my campaigns, I was able to get around that easy enough, so i'm hoping I can do the same this time. It's just a hassle, and it opens my eyes to realize how badly G$ sucks, so i'll look for other places to make money and ease my dependency on that shitty company.

                      My problem is with the way they approached this. Like many others on the board I am one of their premium advertisers, spending over 2k a day on advertising. And then suddenly you find out that they have killed all your campaigns.

                      I really feel that the account reps should have talked to premium advertisers first, and help them optimize everything before releasing the Landing Page bot to go out and kill everything. Now everybody is cleaning up their shit, I spend 40k trying to fix everything and they are missing millions of dollars in revenue. I think their shareholders are not aware of this

                        Same problem here... As a premium member I'm on the phone every half hour today and I think I'm getting some progress here... I too noticed that they have "in-activated" keywords of random sites.

                        How much would you guys pay for a script that cloaked your landing pages for the landing page quality bot.. so you'd get cheaper minimum bids?
                        I have good reason to believe that the "problems" will be solved soon, so definitely no cloaking of landingpages for me!!
                        Anyway, Thanks for the offer...

                                pricing will be $1500 for 1 year of updates, and 1on1 personal support.

                                product will be delivered within by friday to everyone who has payments cleared by then. i will accept a maximum of 20 purchases.

                                to date, 22 people have said they would purchase when i made this post.

                                however, in keeping my word and protecting the value of your software license, it will be first come, first serve for the 20.

                                contact me on icq to arrange payment details. i will not be accepting epass, or paypal.
