If the person was buying Adwords ads and then using them to direct customers to parked domains, then I think I have an inkling as to why their account was terminated, considering I am the person who implemented that policy.
- robomartin 14y agoNo such thing. The events were exactly as I described them. No ad clicking. No vectoring through AdWords. Nothing other than a transfer of the domains from GoDaddy intermediated parking to Google's "AdSense for Domains" and in three days the account was closed. Because there's zero feedback all we could figure out is that some of the domain names (he had a couple that were politically charged) may have hit a filter. What's weird is that they went through their approval process, started showing ads for a day and then the account was closed. This is one account. Search for "Google closed my account" to read more horror stories, all with different threads. Their process and approach is absolute crap. Not to be trusted with anything.
- weareconvo 14y agoIf they weren't buying Adwords ads, then they weren't paying Google anything, and thus, it's absurd of you to demand that someone providing you with a free service would also guarantee customer service.
- robomartin 14y agoI'm sorry, are you trying to be funny? Of course these people were using AdWords for their business. They were NOT using it to vector people to the parked domains. Only a moron would do that. Spend dollars to make sub-pennies?
- weareconvo 14y agoGood to know that the MFA problem I spent 2 years of my life fighting is now seen as trivial.
- robomartin 14y agoI don't understand what you are saying. Not a clue.
