i mean the rule, not You ;)

Amazing how many people didn't read this thread before posting.

MrPink, Someone at Google seems to be screwing up. They should be giving you a reason each time they disapprove your ad. Calling to complain will do a lot for you usually, but it won't solve the "teen porn concepts" issue.

I don't see anything wrong with your ads at all. But with adult terms, they don't scrutinize the ad copy so much as they do the content of your site. It seems that they are picking up on the "barely legal" and "nubiles" links on your site. I think the policy on "teen porn concepts" is silly, but if you want to continue using google, you're going to have to remove those links and the "teens 18-21" category. Yahoo and MSN might be a better alternative for you.

I think this is silliness on Google's part. In the adult industry the term "teen" has long been established as referring to models aged "18 to 24". There can't be many websites out there that won't fall foul of this guideline. Every Directory/TGP/Thumbs/Review site has a "teen" category.

They are a private company that can do what they like with their TOS.

Much like the, the clubs that have a dress code. Or "No shirt. No Shoes. No Service". Or "We reserve the right to refuse service".

when i was checking some keywords, i realized a keyword like "13-16 teen" or "13-18 teen" something, we earn money from people mostly have no brain, so it mite be result of what google trying to do is.

Google will adjust their terms to make *them* feel good from a liability perspective. Just because those words are legal doesn't mean they have to support them in their engine. It's their fire truck so it's their rules if you want to sound the siren.

After a quick glance I wonder if the link terms on your left: teen + girls, girl on girl, barely legal got flagged. Maybe google checks keyword density for such terms and comes up with a score. And this landing page was too high for them.

"stop promoting teens on google ads" is what I was referring to.

You can't post a compliant ad and then link to a teen site.
You seem like you can't come to grips with that.

Just use their ads to sell something else and keep your account.
What's the point in arguing when you are going to lose in the end no matter what.

It doesn't matter if their rule is "stupid"; they still win.

Same thing here. Basically Google is killing the word "teen", I can't wait until they remove all porn sites with the word "teen" in their index.

They don't. Believe me. A person reviews your site. They look at the landing page and randomly browse around your site looking for anything that could be against the rules.

It's so stupid, it's not even funny. You don't even have to use teen words, or teen sites to get disapproved. All it takes is a site with models under 25y to be considered "underage content" ...

Exactly like others have said ... it's likely the landing pages and outbound links (yes, they really do check those too!) that's causing you trouble.

If it's any consolation, while Google is tough on adult ads, at least they allow them ... I used to own and operate a world famous cannabis / marijuana related website - no major advertising network would even give me the time of day ... especially not Google, which was comical in a way, since the site was ranked #1 on various keywords there.

You should consider spending some of your ad budget on acquiring quality domains / traffic trades / adult sites, etc, if you're not already, and build your own traffic streams - relying too much on SEs is asking for trouble in the longrun...

To digress a bit, yes I'm biased when it comes to the domain name business, but the truth is that it's among the most cost effective, and predictable, ways to maintain and grow traffic without being at the mercy of the SEs.

It's their ball. They can take it and go home at any time.

Google, Yahoo, etc do not HAVE to list you. They are a private company. They have their rules, and interpretations of those rules. If you do not like them, do not us them.
