Pipe ban here, now!

Post by pipedreamer »

PIPE BAN Google has changes affecting pipes. Will affect online stores etc. No more advertising allowed is how I read it. This includes most search engines.

i think he is referring to this: https://support.google.com/adwordspolic ... 6038?hl=en

which from how i read it, affects only usage of google adwords service. not that big of a deal methinks.

sam you may be right.I called my brother, a tech head, he said to put my gun away.it has to do with advancements on googles sight. they won't accept ads to do with pipes,tobacco, etc for your site. which is one of the ways you would advance. if so all remains the same. Thanks for reading that correctly. Next time i'll wear my glasses.

That's what I was suspecting. They declined my ads about a year ago.
