Were you able to make your Google ads profitable?

[konschubert]

Yes, but only if I manually counted conversions that google didn't see due to ad blockers.

But yes. It was great. I felt like I had a dial that I could turn up and down to make my business go.

Then, bam, second suspension.

"Misleading ads".

I have no intention to mislead anyone.

Makes me feel very helpless.

> conversions that google didn't see due to ad blockers.

This is funny. It seems that having an ad blocker is a strong indicator for people that are very interested in technical stuff (and are at least technically literate enough to install it). This sounds like a prime spot for placing certain ads. Since ad-blocking is detectable, we coders are actually opting-in to this kind of labeling. I don't know what to make of that.

Sorry to hear that. Did you try other platforms on which you didn't get suspended?

Did you have to tune your Google ads campaign before it worked or did it work for you from the first try?

I wonder if unscrupulous competitors reported you en mass.
