Hey guys,

My Google Ads were paused after a few DMCA complaints. I appealed and the website is now reinstated.

Is it safe to start running ads again, or should I check/fix anything first to avoid another issue?

if the site was reinstated, that’s a good sign, but i’d still remove anything that could trigger the same complaints again.

For google ads DMCA issue, It could be the images, content or videos. Also make sure it is not still cached through another url.

I would suggest to run the campaign with contrallable budget and monitor with notifications closely.

Fixing the root cause is more important than simply relaunching.

Start with a small campaign first and watch for any new policy or copyright issue before increasing the budget.

In any case, it is necessary to carry out the uniqueness verification of the website and media files.

I would not put much into campaign if you had a dmca complain you can start slow and see what results you get if is not working like before just create a new site or change domain to be safe

i'd make sure the underlying dmca issue is actually resolved before turning the campaigns back on.

Click to expand...

continue running ads until the account gets suspended. Once that happens, just go stealth/cloaker way with another account to keep running

I fix the DMCA issue first and make sure the site is fully compliant then restart ads slowly and also monitor it

dont assume the ads are safe just because the site is back up. check what caused each complaint and make sure its actually resolved first, otherwise you could end up dealing with another suspension
