    Google Adwords - Unacceptable Content

    XXX
    Milfs
    Explicit

    Are just some of the new words I have seen Google ban from Adwords:

    Unacceptable Content [?]
    We've detected that your ad may contain words often associated with pornography. Google policy prohibits the advertisement of pornography unless it involves consenting adults. Related content is not permitted on the website or as ad text or keywords.
    "words often associated with pornography" - WTF? Looks like old ads with these "pornography words" are grandfathered in, but new ads will not pass as acceptable content.

    Anyone else seeing this?

      I got my ads kicked off google for having "teen sex content" which I couldn't figure out why because I didn't think I had that.
      After many e-mails to them I finally found out that because my url has the word "girls" in it which according to google is a synonym for teens I was violating their TOS.
      I had to replace the word "girls" with "babes" and then I was ok.

        Yet type in "girls gone wild" and guess who's ad is ok. The same guy who keeps getting in trouble for "allegedy" shooting underage girls.

            Yeah, I also saw that... however these "pornography words" are new. I mean there is a major difference between "teens" and "milfs"... and "XXX" and "Explicit" are not even offensive words.

                        and typical google that they keep the old ads running - wouldn't look good in their revenue stats if they turned it off all at once

                              Let's be honest, the were many who pushed it too far and now we get the bill.

                                this is getting to a point where it becomes ridiculous
                                banning the milfs is the first step that will make you realize where this is all going

                                  Add to the list teen, girl, boy, young, ass, cock and many others..

                                  And the words that are not banned .. some of the prices are insane.. like $10 a click ... They are tightening the noose for sure.

                                  If you have an ad that is converting with any of the banned words.. Do Not Touch It.. maybe you will get lucky and they wont catch you for a while

                                            Are they new ads or old ones that have just not been caught yet?

                                              current ads are fine. all of my campaigns are running fine as well. we're talking about new ads only.
                                              words such as "cock, ass, fuck" etc were always banned, they have just recently expanded that to anything remotely pornographic-related.

                                                  Just to clarify this only effects new ads - not ads which are already in their system. Have not seen any current/old ads with these new "pornography words" getting banned yet.

                                                  Google can make all the rules they like (its their system), but I will agree with others that its not hard to spot the direction Google is headed. This latest round of banned words are just looking like it was made by a religious fruitcake.

                                                        Have you tried changing the campaign settings to only advertise in NON-US countries - while I understand that its a shitload less traffic - Google usually starts a "censoring campaign" on AdWords with ads targetting the US - theyve done it since the beginning for some words but you could always get a trickle if you left out the US

                                                            IF Google is actually doing this crap then yahoo is going to get a shitload more business. Especially mine. I seriously doubt that Google wants to lose tens of millions of $$$$ they bring in because of porn.

                                                              I just tried on one of our campaigns, which is not targeted at the US, and it would not accept the new banned words.

                                                              These changes are new - I have not seen anything from Google yet regarding this. Their Editorial Guidelines are still showing the old guidelines - mainly these two:

                                                              No Inappropriate Language

                                                              Your ad cannot contain offensive or inappropriate language.
                                                              Non-Family Safe & Adult Sexual Content

                                                              After our AdWords Specialists categorize the ads, Google generally allows ads containing adult themes, such as explicit sexual content, provided that they meet the conditions for AdWords advertising.
                                                              However since they are now banning words like:

                                                              Cams

                                                              Then its a major change from the Editorial Guidelines they have online, since none of these are offensive, inappropriate or explicit.

I will say they are hypocritical because GIRLS Gone Wild is still allowed to advertise. I can see TEEN being more questionable than GIRLS because girls is such a generic term. I still refer to women I'm attracted to as girls even if they are my age and I'm 38. I think Google should be smart enough to know if you say "hot college girls" you aren't refering to little 12 year olds.

                                                                              Just give it time ... there will be no adult ads on Google.

                                                                                IMO, its a totally unrealiable source of income. A year ago their "approval" system was a lot eaiser, now its getting more and more difficult. I still use them a lot for some adult sites, and will continue to until the put the ban on all adult terms.

                                                                                If your having problems with your ads or keywords not running, hit me up. I do a LOT of biz with them and may be able to help you out
