We want to make sure you’re aware there are various restrictions on Display and Video 360 pages. While this new page won’t be available until the start of 2019, we’ll update you on violations so that you avoid them.
Repeating publishing violations can result in a suspension.
Recently, Google announced that suspension is also a risk for partners. They listed some of the violations which can lead to suspension, including the ones mentioned above.
If an advertiser within a partner account has been found to violate policies many times, the account can be suspended. Just to clarify, this doesn’t mean any violation could get an account suspended. In order for it to happen, they would have had to persistently break our guidelines and policies.
Google’s announcement claimed that if the partner account or advertiser has “repeatedly or predominantly engaged in egregious policy violations” that would cause suspension.
Jeopardizing the trust Google’s search engine has in your site;
Dumbing down content so it reads like spun content;
Promoting article directories, link farms, poor quality resources, or copycats;
Leading users to commercial content such as ads that accompany searchers’ results.
“A violation so serious that it is unlawful or poses significant harm to our users or our digital advertising ecosystem. An egregious violation is often due to unsafe policies within the advertiser’s overall business, or one violation so severe that we cannot risk future exposure.”
If you find that this is happening to you, here are some things you can do:
There is some good news for those who have their account suspended as a partner or an advertiser. Appeals are possible if you feel that suspension was unjustified.
Google is constantly updating its policies and penalties to make the system more clear. For example, they recently announced updated policies which means that advertisers with violations now know exactly what caused them to get penalized.
In order to stay on Google’s good side, it’s important to periodically check your account for any disapprovals. Though Google relies on both human interaction and automation, their roots are in the human world.
