Google AdWords

AdWords have MANY policies that they enforce with dictatorship accuracy. While I agree with some of them, like no ads about Prostitution, Hacking, Phishing, Freaking, etc... I honestly fail to see why using a keyword of Casino or Cigarettes would be banned. Go ahead, try a google search and you won't find anything listed at all.

Who made Google the World Police for Ethics? My Board Game Website sells Casino products like Poker Chips and Dice, but I can't say that, otherwise my ad gets disapproved.

I also can't have page forwarding either, which is silly. Which means www.abc.com gets sent to www.xyz.com because, again, who cares. While I can aplaud Google for keeping the system clean and keeping out bogus bullshit, but it takes DAYS before these ads get approved or disapproved, which leaves me without revenue until they get around to fixing the problem. In this case, I loose out of Christmas Traffic while they bother to tear my ad apart.

I was thinking about buying tickets and reselling them...do you go stand in line or buy at Ticketmaster? I, too, am always wondering how I can make money out of EVERYTHING. I enjoy your blog.
