Google advertising

[Dobber]

So Google \"disapproved\" of a bunch of my ads today.

\"Unacceptable Content\"

What did I have in those ads? F***? Ass? Porn? Gambling?

Nope. \"Hockey Pool\"

They classified it as gambling. Google \"hockey pool list\" right now. How many ads pop up that have hockey pool in them? If none, refresh the page. They will come.

I doesn\'t matter, anyway. I\'m using the same ads I used last year. And in 2007. 2006.

I just found it funny that the right hand doesn\'t know what the left hand is doing over there. It happens.

But the worst part is that each step with these people takes several days. Which means my appeal will not get them to change their mind until this weekend. And what if they don\'t change their mind and I need to appeal it further? By then it will be too late. In this business, you have one-week windows to sell the product. A draft list is useless in late April. A fantasy guide is useless in late October.

RANT OVER!

Sorry to hear about that.

I am into two pools this season, Dobber\'s Entry pool and one keeper league. I do not pay for both pool and the winner do not get money, but they definitely get the bragging rights for the off season.

If you do a poll of \"Do you pay for your hockey pool ?\", I wonder if you would get a 90, 70 or 40% \"yes\" response.

2 free and 1 I pay $35 a year

However I also do a couple pick the player from a box pools each year for money

nice - glad to hear \"the man\" can still be convinced!

One of the \"AdWords Specialists\" probably had a hockey draft that night and didn\'t want to tip any of his pool members off to his source for primo information.
