Anyone had an issue with this? I've ran scans with Malcare, Sucuri and siteLock cannot pick up anything. Or is it just another day of google bots on the wrong high? Any other tools worth using to scan to resolve this issue?
 
It has nothing to do with your site, this is code for Google telling you "watch it pal, we're on to you".

You either ran leaked cloaking, brand or suspicious keywords, too aggressive ad copy or a mismatch of your ads and destination. One or a combination of those.
 
You should also check your website status once here -
https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search

It is not a site-scan test but is just to get information if your website is being considered unsafe in many of the Google's platforms, like in organic search etc. You can check Google search console too for security warnings. If there you see any error then you must consider scanning with some paid services or work with your developer to fix malware issue. If there are no errors and you have scanned your website in all tools for possible malware issue and sure that there is no such issue then you should discuss with Google support to assist further.

Too many unsuccessful appeals then they suspend too.

It might be a false alarm or a temporary glitch with Google bot

You could try using VirusTotal or Wordfence for additional scanning to double-check

Submit an appeal.
 
Hello. If you run black ads so it can be many reasons of this suspicion.
Possible reasons: domain name, used white page, cloaking, content on the ads creative, etc.
If you don't launch such ads, it's worth to try edit some settings on your website and try appeal.

This.

I would simply make a new site from scratch and ads.
 
I got this error, site was not compromised but did have cloaking running.

I disabled cloaking, submitted an appeal..... banned for Circumventing Systems! Haha damn their beady eyes.
I'm telling you, its luck of the draw with Google these days. Its neither this nor that... SEO people dont even know what google wants anymore. Have you seen the cr#p that ranks in top spots these days? Thought they cleaned it up. I call it BOT ROT
 
I read somewhere on quora about outdated plugins or themes causing this or conflicting plugins. I disabled some that I wasnt using and updated theme and plugin and the compromised site warning disappeared within 5 min on another campaign without appeal. So really not sure what causes it, but worth a try
 
Save your website in search.console. Examine for any problems and if so, troubleshoot them in search.console. Otherwise, submit a form. It will be fixed within 2 - 5 business days.
 
Domain/subdomain flagged, server IP flagged, Wordpress with weird plugins detected, weird java script detected, some shitty redirects in htaccess (unlikely), caught on cloaking (unlikely). If domain got it once you will get it rejected even if you change html entirely, you have to replace domain with different one

Thanks. Changed the server ip, still compromised. Will change domain and see

This should be considered as a last resort, otherwise the accounts will be suspended instantly while changing the domain name.
 
Oh, don't just go and edit ad and replace domain name. Delete ads, delete ad group, make new adgroup, make new ads with new domain
