I know that google has started to become a very popular search engine, so in an attempt to capture some new customers we contacted google to advertise on their site.  We opened an account, supplied them with the key words we wanted to target, and waited and waited.  Finally today I get this e-mail from google explaining that our account has been suspended.  Can you believe that?  We can not advertise "scopes"!!!  What's next?  Sorry you can not advertise camouflage clothing or cleaning rods.

Here is a copy of their e-mail to us.

Actually "Rifle Scopes" shows a bunch of hits-[url=]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&q=rifle+scopes[/url]

I guess you just can't get the Ad Words ad that pops up on the side of the screen. It's a free country, but they are a bunch of dorks.



These guys have ad words ads that show up on the second page of "rifle scope"-
This company even lists scopes-
