Adwords Banning “Google Cash” Accounts

So word on the street is that affiliates running Google Grants, Google Cash, etc are getting permanently banned from advertising on AdWords.

I’m not sure how Google is going to enforce the permanement ban… What I imagine is they will put a block on your name and address on file (since they can’t ban any future John Smiths… but can ban John Smith who lives on First Street in Chicago)… I’m sure if Google is going through with the ban that your credit card number will also get blacklisted from AdWords as well.

    Are you in Singapore at SMX? I am/was looking forward to finding video of your talk:

    “My presentation on Adgroup Management will cover two main items: how to pick the keywords to go into their appropriate adgroups (Adgroup Cohesion) and how to form your adgroups around campaigns. During this presentation I intend to use dual-screens and show a live example of building out an account from scratch.”

    Hey Justin,

    I didn’t go to Singapore — it was a last minute decision to stay in SF for the July 4th weekend.

    Anyone know if these were aged accounts with other types of campaigns or accounts packed out with shady products sold under dubious pretense? My guess is the latter.
