Google recently sent out a letter to AdWords Advertisers to halt further ads which promote "e-Gold". This e-mail letter from Google was sent on Sept. 5, 2007 - content follows.
Dear AdWords Advertiser,
We are writing to inform you of a change to Google’s advertising policies that may affect your AdWords account. In the coming weeks, we will no longer accept AdWords ads that promote e-gold.
Ads and websites are also not accepted for related content which includes, but is not limited to, e-gold exchange, e-gold investment, and e-gold accounts. When we make this change, Google will suspend all ads identified as being in violation of this policy.
If your account is affected by this policy change, please remove any e-gold content from your ad text and website. Current e-gold advertisers are encouraged to instead advertise other products or services that comply with our policies.
As a business, Google must make decisions regarding the advertising that we accept. We apologize for any inconvenience this policy change may cause you.
Sincerely,
The Google AdWords Team
** As noted in our advertising Terms and Conditions, Google may refuse any ads or terminate ad campaigns at any time, for any reason. Please note that the decisions we make concerning advertising in no way affect the search results we deliver. Google offers broad access to content across the web without censoring search results.
No formal reason for this decision has been announced by Google, nor a public response from e-Gold. Many online advertisers will be adversely affected by this decision.
