October 08, 2003Guns > I've Been Suspended from Google AdwordsGoogle Adwords suspended my account. I was bidding on the keyword "e-commerce" and related terms. Why did they suspend me? Because I talk about firearms on my blog. Bear in mind, Google allows people to buy AdWords for many questionable products, but they won't allow me to discuss legal gun ownership. Google needs to produce a legal reason why they can't sell advertising to gun-related sites. Otherwise a lot of people will assume their motives are political. Meanwhile I'll move my advertising to Overture. Here's the email I received: From: adwords-support@google.com Hello Les, Thank you for advertising with Google AdWords.

That is pretty outrageous. I use them in real life to promote my business web site. I'm surprised they haven't found some word they find "unacceptable". Also, they must be using a 'bot, because if a human actually looked at your blog they would see you are not selling or promting guns. Sheesh! On the other hand, you can google "boobies" and get this adword ad: Big Naturals (don't go there - not safe for work!) Go figure... Posted by: SK Bubba at October 08, 2003In my day job, I buy four figures worth of advertising every month from Google Adwords. I'm a little steamed. I've been trying to figure out why they've cut certain categories out of Adwords. It may be because of Google Adsense, which lets web sites include ads on their site in return for a cut of the advertising. It may be that some sites don't want advertisements that link to sites with certain kinds of content. Posted by: Les Jones at October 08, 2003PS, Bubba: if you want some help with online promotion for your business, let me know. I've got a fair bit of experience in that field. Posted by: Les Jones at October 09, 2003Beter you advertise with ezines Posted by: andy at March 08, 2004Google is ruining the internet as a source of information and is ruining ecommerce. They need about a $1,000,000,000 suit against them as they have obviously become a monopoly. Posted by: Bubba My !@# at June 08, 2004Don't feel bad google canceled my entire sporting goods line of adwords because I sell bb guns, and ammunition. Last week my ad was running great. I already got charded from google $67 for my clicks. Then all the sudden Thurs. everything stops. No explanation. My ad says it is active but is running nowhere. After sending them at least 20 emails I finally get a reply Monday evening saying they stopped showing it because they can't link to my credit card. Mind you they just charged it and were paid Wed. So now I have to copy and send my credit card to prove it is valid which I did. Still no ad running. No response from my emails. Any suggestions? Thank you Posted by: Stacey at March 29, 2005Hey- Google uses a computer to handle these things, and Adwords has tons of glitches. They refused my site at first, and later when requested allowed it. I'll bet there was an algorythm that fucked this up, because Adwords have been on gun sites. Anyway, they are a private company and can do whatever the fuck they want - that's Libertarianism.
