I need tips to unblock my Adwords account

[mverna]

I have been blocked from keyword search for 3 days now. Anyone have any tips other than the cheater ("Just create a new adwords account") strategy? I have attempted to use MS without my Adwords account and I've found that it won't let me.

Is it true that switching locations after twelve hours will help (due to different IP location)?

I get frustrated because every time I try to generate a keyword search after closing the program and not using it for 12 hours I find that I am still blocked and then have to wait LONGER for it to reset. Is there any way to check if my account is still blocked without trying to generate a search?

I've also tried using Google's keyword generator and I found out that I can't do that either because my account is blocked (should've seen that coming because in hindsight it's obvious).

In short; HELP!

Alright, I'm seriously getting frustrated. My account has been blocked for FOUR DAYS. The only way I know how to check and see if my account is still blocked is by trying to generate a search (which I have been unable to do for 4 days) I have been endlessly searching forums trying to find some answers but a lot of what I come up with is the same question I am asking.

Seriously ANY response would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried contacting Google to ask them why your account is blocked? This is not a normal situation and I think they're going to be the only ones who can tell you what's going on with your account.

Hi, Did you get it sorted?

I'm having the same problem. The message I'm getting says it is because of unusual activity which may be against their T&Cs. It seems I'll only get back in when I stop searching, but they don't say how long for!

Here is a post that addresses this issue. Google Rate Limiting

A common mistake for people new to keyword research is to rush into keyword analysis and to apply The Challenge filters right away and then instantly move on if they don't strike pay dirt right away. Unfortunately, that approach is the worst possible way to do keyword research.

A useful article thanks. I hadn't realised that the way I was doing it would cause problems.
