Exclamation Google Is banning Convert Car to Water Products - Read this !!!

Dear AdWords Advertiser,

We’re writing to let you know about a change to Google's advertising policies that may affect your AdWords account.

Beginning in the coming weeks, we will no longer accept ads promoting ‘run your car on water’ and 'water for gas' type content. We've made the decision to disallow such advertisements based on business considerations and user feedback.

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 make any necessary changes to your site to comply.

We have thought hard about our stance on the advertising of this content and the potential effect our policy decision could have on AdWords advertisers. However, as a business, Google must make decisions regarding the advertising that we accept. We apologize for the inconvenience this policy change may cause you.

Sincerely,
The Google AdWords Team


** As noted in our advertising Terms and Conditions at https://adwords.google.com/select/tsandcsfinder, Google may refuse any ads or terminate ad campaigns at any time, for any reason. Please note that the decisions we make concerning advertising in no way affect the search results we deliver. Google offers broad access to content across the web without censoring search results.

Google Inc.

Mountain View, CA 94043


This is F#$#$ed People.... since when does google ban a niche such as this..... surely this is the oil companys throwing there weight around......

Anyway people if this is going to affect your income start building traffic elsewhere at least for this niche......

Hopefully this forces a few newbies to test out other SE's and other traffic generation techniques....., which will only bring good things to there future online income...


all the best...

Yeah, it has got to do more with them being scam products than influence of oil or gas companies, lol.

Some of these products promote alternatives to fossil fuels that not only work, but are well-substantiated. Obviously a vehicle can't CURRENTLY run on water. However, those of you who failed to see the impact of the oil lobby in Google's decision are going to wake up and find the world looks entirely unfamiliar in a few short years. Incidentally, I find it amusing someone would claim that G shuts anything down for being a scam. Do some searches, and think about that folks.

I do wonder why they banned those Ads, i don't think because it's a scam, google loves scammers - ads for scam get clicked way more than usual ads, as most of them contain lies,
which results in high CTR which means more money for google

"Google offers broad access to content across the web without censoring search results."
LoL, yeah right, they are manipulating the whole world wide web! ;D

google probably doesn't want to deal with the implication that it "could" be a scam and just make a blanket ban like this. No different than them not allowing adult/gambiling, pharmacy imo, b/c the first ppl to blame will be google then the companies themselves, they're just shortening where ppl will point to blame.

im not surprised. they are really funny about anything that possibly affects the integrity of the user experience. I mean i couldn't even run my wsop offers last year. I did a march maddness thingy for about 20 minutes before I got de-activated. Really sucks using 3rd tier advertisers for these types of offers.

Naturally cars dont run on Water ! Look into the technology behind it though tattoo.... I save a shitload on fuel because i kept an open mind to this... I havent tested it on my car with EFI but my older Holden which has a carby is saving me heaps.....

There is a copy of the w3.water*4gas.com ebook lying around these traps if you have a look....

- On another note, my mates father was paid out a very large sum to pay for his silence when it came down to going any further with his hydrogen vehicle... he now has no control over the patient.....

Seriously people think about what sort of budget is allicated to stopping such technology...... if the oil companys make x amount of $$$ a year from oil.... why wouldnt you be prepared to spend double those earnings to protech your investment....


anyway just my 2 cents..... im glad this post has sparked a discussion

Talking Re: Google Is banning Convert Car to Water Products - Read this !!!

The day you can run your car on water is the day the oil companies own all the water. It's the same played out scam dating back to the 70's oil crunch. That's all.

Anyone who can triple their mileage adding water could easily forget about marketing an ebook and sell it to General motors. They're going broke and would love to know the secret of adding a jar, a few hoses, wires, etc and make it a $5,000 option.

But... adding that the oil companies are in a conspiracy sure makes a lie more believable for people who failed basic science. Besides, imagine if it did work. Al Gore would be the first one selling kits and proving the process with fancy charts and polar bears. I bet he would hire Billy Mays to hock it on tv.

... And if you order now, you'll get the "run your car on water conversion kit plus the "run your house on water" and 27 stick-up lights absolutely free. But you must order now.

Im smart enough to know a 10 dollar ebook isnt going to get my car to run on water. But hell people believe in all sorts of bullshit. I just dont need Google to protect me from obvious things. The only way to learn is from your own mistakes. People shouldn't be so Dumb. Big brother at it again protecting dumbness(is that a word).
