As far back as 2008, and for some even earlier, many marketers using Google Adwords began losing their accounts.
In 2010 I lost one of my accounts.
I understand the frustration. And I’m in the unique position of being able to evaluate the ads and the landing pages of many people who’ve had issues.
Because Google Adwords’ support is extremely vague the underlying issues seemed impossible to pinpoint.
Add to that the non-sense noise from people whining, crying, and speculating (wrongly) and it was just easier for most to say “Screw Google” and move along to the next best options – like Facebook and Bing.
