    Help with malware report/adwords.

    Hi all,
    I could use a little help here. I tried to setup an adwords campaign to my latest site at http://racinggamesgallery.com

    Adwords rejected my ads saying my site had malware. I looked in google webmaster tools and it says it doesnt find any malware. Also contacted adwords and they just sent me a stock response of about 20 possible things to check, but nothing specific saying "we found this, so we stopped you".

    Is it possible my site is just too new to be accepted into adwords yet? Or can any of you see any malware on it? I've been up and down the site and the only conclusion I can come too is that my site is too new and google hasnt had enough time to determine if it is a clean site or not.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    This is typical Google support; I went on your site and didn’t get any warnings!?
    I hate Google, they always reply with standard text and nobody care about the small webmaster.
    Just move on and try it next month again, maybe you have more luck.

    Hey,

    There own service says your site is clean
    http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/d...mesgallery.com
    Might want to send that to them and ask why they are saying it has malware.

    Yeah, that's why I'm confused.
    I'm guessing its because the site is so new, 2 weeks old or so. I think I'll just wait a month and then resubmit the adwords ads for this site.

    If google says your site has malware you better believe it, they have tool and resources that we cannot even imagine, also may be your site has some suspicous code that appears as malware but is not, do you use too much of javascript and plugins?? Try and submit a basic simple site get accepted then add the extra mods.

    Regards

    Just to close the loop on this thread....I waited some time and went back in to resubmit my ads.

    I noticed that I had set my URL as https:// instead of http:// for my ads....duh, no wonder they rejected it as malware, I dont have an https enabled site with a proper cert, etc.

    I set them all to http://, resubmitted my ads, and within a few hours all were approved.

    Cool
    Haha, but like you said Stephan that's google for you. Support forums is google's support except they dont pay users for it! Glad you figured it out Tim! This is good to know in case of rejection.

    It may be that Google has seen something wrong into your site, it may be related to malware or near to malware as well so you need to check carefully.
