Fixing a Disapproved or Suspended Ad.

1. Learn why the ad was disapproved or suspended.  You can find out why your ad was disapproved or suspended, by checking your email, or accessing your Google Adwords Dashboard. Check your email for the disapproval or suspension email notice. The email will have a short description of the policy violation, as well as a link to learn more about the policy. Read the policy to understand why your ad was disapproved or suspended.  Another way to learn about the disapproval or suspension, is to go to the Ads tab of your Adwords account, and click the white speech bubble next to the word 'Disapproved 'or 'Suspended'.  Here you will find more more information to explain why your ad is not running.
Have a large account? You can also use filters to find disapproved ads across your account.
