Confirmation Google Has Banned All e-gold Ads

by Mark on September 19th, 2007

Two weeks ago, I posted this item Google Drops All E-gold Ads! (Adwords).

However, at the time we had no written confirmation from Google and it was not posted on their web site. Today, we have written confirmation of ad cancellations. Google is stating that the word ‘e-gold’ is a trademark and banning it from their ads.

One popular exchange agent which had ads canceled posted this email.

Thank you for advertising with Google AdWords. After reviewing your account, we’ve found that one or more of your ads or keywords does not meet our guidelines. You can see your disapproved ad(s), the reason for disapproval, and editorial suggestions, from the Disapproved Ads page within your account.

Ad Status: Suspended - Pending Revision

Ad Issue(s): Trademark in Ad Content

SUGGESTIONS:

Ad Content: Please remove the following trademark from your ad: e-gold.

Its also an odd thing that all of these other digital currencies GoldMoney, Pecunix, e-bullion, Webmoney, Liberty Reserve are also trademarked names…but they were not banned.

Special thanks to Shane at www.NanaimoGold.com for the information.
