Pop-Ups & Pay Per Click Don’t Mix
We encountered a situation last week where we wanted to promote a particular news story on one of our sites using Pay Per Click. We saw amazing click through’s and low bids until we got a message from Google saying the status of our ad was “Disapproved”Google has various criteria that they examine in their approval process but the reason this particular ad was disapproved after running for a short time was because of our destination url. This page we were linking to, our “landing page” had a popup on that page. Google does not allow popups on landing pages regardless of the content.
