Google Slaps and Google Suspensions: Getting Reinstated and Back Online When All Seems Lost
If you have experienced a Google slap or Google suspension, this blog post is for you. If Google PPC is a key marketing strategy and a vital part of your business success, you’ll want to read on….
**********************
The date was July 17, 2009 .
I remember it as well as my own birthday or my wedding anniversary date.
It was the day I was suspended from Google. The day they told me they no longer wanted to see my ads on their network — EVER AGAIN.
It felt worse than the time that my first ever girlfriend told me to get lost (well, it was nicer than that, but it still hurt like hell).
Fast forward to November 17, 2009… the date my Google Adwords account was reinstated.
No tricks, no changing URLs, credit cards, or applying as a fictitious person. NOPE.
This was for real .. I was (and am) back advertising on Google! WOO HOO!!!!
So how did I accomplish this seemingly impossible feat? Well, its about knowing the right people, I suppose. I ran into a friend online who told me he was still running ads on Google, and after grilling him like he was a Nazi war criminal on how he was doing it, I realized it came down to one simple axiom:
He was giving Google what they wanted, which was simply for their user to have a good experience when searching.
No clever deceptions, no redirecting the searcher to an unrelated site, and certainly no ridiculous income claims. I begged and pleaded for my friend to take a look at my campaigns, and he did so. He showed me exactly why I had been slapped and unsuspended, and more importantly he began showing me how to stay out of trouble with Google in the future.
He began offering a 12 week course covering everything that I needed to know to run my campaigns with Google without ever having to worry about another slap or suspension, and I jumped at it. This is one very smart guy.
The best news for you, my faithful blog readers?
He is now allowing me to send him others to help get them unsuspended, too.
And I am giving you guys FIRST SHOT.
Some obvious questions?
Who is this guy? Just an above average marketer with a great relationship with Google. Imagine, Google has actually been EMAILING HIM during this whole process. And all I could ever get as an automated message to my queries.
What is involved? You will need to give him access to your Google account so he can clean it out of any undesirable content. You must then agree to attend his 12 week course, since his reputation is on the line when you start marketing again. Imagine — if someone he helps goes out and starts marketing with the same deceiving methods that got them suspended in the first place, his reputation with Google will be ruined.
Is it free? Of course not. He is not only offering you a service, but he is giving you his knowledge and expertise so that you will become a master Google marketer with a great track record. The cost will depend on the severity of your suspension and how much work he will need to do to get you reinstated.
Is it guaranteed to work? NO, he told me straight out that there were no guarantees in this process, that it was strictly on a case-by-case basis. And it he cannot get you reinstated, your money will be refunded (less the cost of his time and effort).
How Do I Get More Information? Email me at rbrc200@gmail.com or leave me a comment on this post, let me know your current situation and how long you’ve been suspended, and I’ll send you to his website. I need to pre-screen who I send to him — otherwise, it will be like Black Friday at your local Best Buy.
‘Look guys – this option will NOT be for everyone, but if you are suspended from Google and PPC is a vital part of your business, it may be worth your time and effort to take a look at this guy.
I’m sure glad I did.
Talk soon,

Googling Under the Influence
If it wasn’t so sad, I would laugh.
Actually, I do laugh a little, as I imagine my team member’s eyes bugging out of his/her head when they see how much money they blew on Google in one day.
Why? Because they weren’t prepared.
Taking the plunge into the world of Pay Per Click Marketing is not one of those things that should be done haphazardly. Many serious marketers, including myself have spent months and even years studying Google Adwords trying to develop the best strategies for getting the best qualified prospects at the lowest possible cost.
And even now, while Google is my primary lead generation and it generally treats me well, there are days when it bites me in the butt. Just like everyone else who markets on Google.
So back to my team member….
This guy called me the other day to tell me he had read a little about Google and was ready to start marketing. I chuckled a little, and tried to explain the kind of preparation needed in order to avoid losing a ton of money at the beginning, but he didn’t take me seriously.
Guess what?
His eyes were bugging out of his head the next day. I don’t even want to tell you how much money he lost without much to show for it.
And it all could have been avoided.
Taking this guys approach is like jumping into a car for the very first time and proclaiming yourself ready to drive. How silly is that? Everyone knows that you have to take classes, practice for several hours with a trained and skilled driver by your side, take a test, and then you are ready to drive on your own.
It’s the same with Google. Education is a MUST! Training is ESSENTIAL!
Without it, you might as well set up a direct deposit of your paycheck directly to Google. They will love it.
You will not.
Before I close, I will leave you with two resources that I’ve used again and again in my Google adventures.
Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide for Google Adwords
Mike Dillard’s PPC Domination.
Perry’s guide is written and extremely comprehensive. So is Mike’s course, but it is in video format for the most part.
Both are excellent. I would suggest you get both resources, study them extensively, and then consider taking the Google plunge.
After all, you don’t want to get cited for Googling Under the Influence.
To your success!
Competing in Today’s World — Google Style
Talk with any of the most successful network marketers today and they will likely tell you that a strong component of their marketing strategy is getting their message out on Google. This can take 2 forms.
- Showing up in the Organic Search Listings (i.e. the middle column of the search page results)
- Advertising using Google Adwords (the right column of the search page results)
Today, I am going to focus on the second option: Google Adwords.
If you have never advertised with Google before, it can be a very scary proposition. And if you are an experienced Adwords user, it is even scarier in today’s society, because Google is changing.
How are they changing? Like everyone else, they are reacting to the plunging economy. But Google is a huge money making machine. Rather than laying people off or lowering salaries, they have reacted in a different way.
Google is tightening up on the relevency of the advertisements they display. In other words, Google is redoubling their efforts to be extra sure that, when you put in your search term, you will get results that will satisfy you. If you, the customer, are not satisfied, Google loses.
And Google NEVER loses.
What does this mean to the people, like me who advertise on Google? It means we had better have ads that are relevent and that give the Google customer what they are looking for. If not, Google will cut you off at the pass. You will never have a chance.
What do I mean by this? I mean having compelling ad headlines and ad copy that will draw people to your advertisement. But more importantly, it means that your landing page must DELIVER exactly what you promise in your ad.
If someone clicks on your ad but is sent to a landing page that doesn’t deliver the promise of the ad, they will click off in seconds. Google can track that. Google knows EVERYTHING.
And Google will punish you for it. How?
By giving you less traffic, or more likely, less of the prime traffic you are looking for.
Google will NOT be forgiving here, guys. It is their reputation and their bottom line.
Overwhelmed?
No worries. I am training with a person who I consider to be one of the top 3 experts in the world in Google. She has been giving training sessions for about a year with Carbon Copy PRO, although she is not a member. I also saw her present her unique Google methods at both Live Carbon Copy PRO LIVE Marketing Events over the past year.
My wife Rosemary and I decided we wanted more.
We started specialized training with Cherie Yvette, The Urban Cowgirl about 6 months ago, and our business profits jumped 100%. She will show you how to construct top quality campaigns that will allow you to compete with the big guys on Google.
Or, if you prefer, she will build campaigns for you and teach you how to optimize them for peak performance.
She is a tireless teacher who will do what it takes, for as long as it takes, to make you successful on Google. I cannot recommend her services highly enough.
Visit The Urban Cowgirl Website for more information.
I do not get paid one penny for recommending Cherie. This is not an affiliate link.
This is just one VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER who wants to pass this quality resource on to his loyal readers.
To your success,
Bob
