"Gaming the Google Network" & "Trick-to-Click" error messages...

Anybody else getting these? I just started getting these messages on some of my accounts roughly 10 days ago, and its definitely unsettling since I am using a very good cloaker I have had no problems with. I am advertising on desktop US, solid volume.

I was wondering if people are getting these, what are you doing to make sure you get around them? Is Google becoming like facebook with account bans? I am obviously doing all the normal stuff (new domain, new IP, etc.) Maybe my safe site is 'too' whitehat? Lots of questions, gotta work hard...

They're too happy with what they have, and want to lower their revenues

So Google doesn't like Call To Action buttons anymore?

I have no idea why Google know I use a cloaker.

I think my cloaker is best choice on the market. And run with no problem about 3 week.

If you're running Adwords, targeting Android (which post-clicks default to chrome) they now can detect when content changes AFTER a click, which is what signals a red flag. Just have to keep thinking outside the box with them.

Standard message - they've been doing this for awhile. I had one they sent me saying they could not show the ad, but later was approved when i went into the account to see what i would need to fix. very strange...i figured i may have received in error. This happened months ago though.

You need to setup new adwords account or new website?
