Google Banning all Adwords Campaigns related to E-gold.com
Here is a very interesting development. We have found that
Google Adwords has decided to
ban any adword campaigns that have anything to do with E-gold. With the indictment of E-gold Ltd. Google must be trying it’s best to cooperate with the DOJ. This goes to show that E-gold’s days as a thriving internet business has come and gone. Here is an email some advertisers are receiving from Google Inc.:
Dear AdWords Advertiser,
We are writing to inform you of a change to Google’s advertising
policies that may affect your AdWords account.
In the coming weeks, we will no longer accept AdWords ads that
promote e-gold. Ads and websites are also not accepted for related
content which includes, but is not limited to, e-gold exchange,
e-gold investment, and e-gold accounts.
When we make this change, Google will suspend all ads identified
as being in violation of this policy. If your account is affected
by this policy change, please remove any e-gold content from your
ad text and website. Current e-gold advertisers are encouraged to
instead advertise other products or services that comply with our
policies.
As a business, Google must make decisions regarding the
advertising that we accept. We apologize for any inconvenience
this policy change may cause you.
Sincerely,
The Google AdWords Team
We assume that if you are advertising any website that promotes E-gold itself, E-gold exchanges, or E-gold investment programs, you will have your ads for those sites terminated. Not only will they terminate ads that have E-gold in the ad itself, but also any ad directing to websites which promote E-gold. There has been some confusion, and we must note that Google is
NOT banning websites related to E-gold in their search results, only their ads.
