Google Adwords Shut Down Due to "Teen Concepts"
 

Google shut down all my ads for having "Teen Porn Concepts" content. It's the same 2257 compliant sponsors I've been running for years. Anybody else have the same thing happen?

I hope not when I get it flowing.

Can you post the notice you received? I'd like to see the wording.

Not doubting you at all! I'm just curious about what they said when they let you know.

Happens to me all the time. Even if it's not "teen porn"

Have had a few affiliates mention the same thing to me.

google are idiots.. we need to take our traffic back from them

BTW, this is a review site they shut down! Here is what they said:

SUGGESTIONS:
-> Content: At this time, Google policy does not permit the
advertisement of websites that contain "Teen porn concepts". As noted in our advertising terms and conditions, we reserve the right to exercise editorial discretion when it comes to the advertising we accept on our site.

I just spoke with them and they said they no longer allow any reference to teen even if you have a disclaimer. Also, sites with pics of younger looking women or women dressed as coeds will not be allowed.

AdWords --what a waste of time.

What's your opinion on yahoo adwords?

i just had a mini panic attack..lol

i thought you said they were shut down..lol

Halbucks...adwords still makes some money..but yeah it isnt how it used to be

Oh , I am glad adwords is still running. They are getting very strict though.

Our primary campaign got hit for this too.

Yep, just called them, they also no longer allow the term "Girl" to be used on a porn site. WTF!! :Oh crap

They sent me a mini-fridge that said something like "Think Cool" on it last week for my great milestone of 1 million adword hits. This new policy is the opposite of cool!! :mad:

yup all words like teen, girl etc are all banned now =/

That sucks, but must be a plus for the other SEs?

Also cheerleader, and anything that basically doesnt say CONSENTING ADULT FEMALE WOMAN HUMAN blahhhhhh

I *think* (I say think because they WILL NOT tell you) one of my paysites got nailed because it says "first time lesbians". Please note: a 60 year old woman can be a "first time lesbian". They've gone a bit loopy.

a little bit overprotective I would say

They are just blocking all porn adwords. They do it slowly, but I think that within a year or so no porn related adwords will be shown anymore. They shut a lot of mine down too and when I asked them it's always the content (totally legal not even girls that could pass for 18 let alone younger).

Call them back and ask why GIRLS Gone Wild is allowed to advertise on Adwords then.

its been like that for a while, you just got caught now.

alot of people have been feeling the wrath of google's crackdown.

seriously old news
