Cannot re-activate PPC after GWT violation has been removed.
-
Google adwords not allowing us to reactivate after GWT violation removed and site deemed clean by Google.
Attempts at reaching them for guidance have been unsuccessful. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I've been through something like this once, and, unfortunately, even with substantive ad spend, it took a lot of time and effort to get an AdWords rep involved. You have a couple of choices:
(1) Complain very loudly, including Twitter and Google Webmaster Forums. Yes, it's not the ideal solution, but it works more often than it should.
(2) Contact anyone you can at AdWords and try to get rep time. I'll tell you what we did - I'm not saying you should do it, but desperate times, etc. We went to a Google Analytics meet-up and got a few cards from Googlers. Then, we emailed all of them. Since they were out of town (for the meet-up), we got their vacation auto-responders, so we emailed all of their bosses. This continued until some VP got so annoyed he demanded someone assign us a rep to shut us up.
Look, I'm not proud of it, but that client got their ban lifted.

You could take a look at the contact link I gave you above?

thank you for your response.
we ended up getting a violation because our website was infected with maleware. We successfully identified the code, removed it and subsequently were noticed by Google that the site was now clean.
During the period when the site was infected, our adwords campaigns were suspended by Google, which made total sense. We never got an specific notifications from the Adwords group stating they were suspending the campaigns.
We assumed that once the site was determined to be 'cleaned' by Google, our Adwords campaigns could be re-activated.
So far, our efforts to reach out to Google have failed. No communications and no understanding what still remains to be addressed.
Any suggestions or contact information would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help and support.

Hi,
Site suspended due to GWT violation? I presume you must have received email from Adwords team about reason of suspension. I have never heard that I have gone through many site suspension reason but it is first time I am hearing this that site penalized due to GWT violation.
can you tell me what kinds of GWT violation occurred ?
You can also contact them (adwords support team ) to resolve the issue suggested by Andy.
Thanks

Hi,
Have you had a read through the Adwords account suspension page here? It might give you a few ideas of things to try. You could also contact them and see if you can talk through your specific issues.

Our PPC UTM URLs Aren't Registering In GA Properly
Hi, We recently ran a few ads on Facebook and Reddit for a campaign of ours. Each of the URLs were properly attributed UTM links. Some of them register properly in campaigns, but the vast majority aren't. I can only find the attribution by checking All Traffic and displaying the landing page and the source/medium. Our Facebook Ad Manager reports MANY more clicks than our Campaign section in GA is for the campaign name. Here's the URL I receive for the landing page: /?url=http://www.ourwebsiteurl.com/our-landing-page?utm_source=facebook.com&dm_redirected=true Is Facebook writing over our UTM with their own so all I receive is that it came from Facebook? The URL we used was complete with utm_source, utm_campaign and utm_medium, yet these aren't fully reported. Any ideas?

PPC for a music shop - advice
Hi, I'm pretty new to this but I'm doing my best, so I've created a few campaigns such as 'Guitars' and 'Drums' and started to add keywords to each one such as 'buy guitars online' etc would it also be wise to add brands to this campaign? or should I create a completely different campaign focusing solely on brands? What would you recommend? Thanks, Dan

Canonical or noindex for PPC landing pages?
I have two pages for this example. http://www.designquotes.com.au/web-design-quotes/ http://www.designquotes.com.au/web-design-quotes-melbourne/ The first URL is an SEO optimised page. The second URL is 99% the same, except that it specifies a city. It's intended use of for a PPC campaign. The first page has major cities mentioned on the page so I don't have to build a separate page for every city variation. The second URL is designed to be city specific for a geographically targeted PPC campaign. The more specific, the higher the conversion rate. Should the second page (the PPC landing page) use a canonical URL (since it's 99% the same) or should it be noindex?

How do you assess PPC ROI?
I thought this would be pretty straightforward, but I'm trying to put together my first PPC ROI spreadsheet and it's turning out to be much more complicated than I had anticipated. Would anyone be willing to tell me what you look at to determine the return you're getting on PPC -- and if you're using AdWords and Analytics, what screens/reports you rely on? It seems to be more complex than simply comparing Paid Search Revenue to spend ... but I could be overcomplicating things.

Google PPC Management
Okay, so I have a client who wants me to manage their ppc on Google. It seems like either they give me access to their PPC account or I manage it via my own account and pre-bill for the cost, later supplying reports. Are those the two options? Thanks...MJ
