Anyone else?
I made a few sub-domains from my original website to advertise more vendor products. Apparently this is in violation of Google’s terms or service. Very disappointing!
Hi there John, that should not be the case! Could you drop a screenshot here? Subdomains are totally legit as long as they are used correctly. Are you getting a “destination mismatch”? If so, did you follow the following?
Not allowed
Ads that don’t accurately reflect where the user is being directed
Examples : Using the display URL “www.google.com” but leading to a landing page with the URL “www.youtube.com”; using the keyword insertion feature in the top-level or second-level domain of your display URL, such as “www.{keyword}.com”
A domain or domain extension in the display URL that doesn’t match the final URL
Examples : Display URL: google.com and Final URL: example.com; Display URL: example.com and Final URL: example.org
Failing to use a subdomain to clearly identify a site from all other sites hosted on that domain or from the parent domain
Example : Display URL: blogspot.com and Final URL: mycompany.blogspot.com
Note : A subdomain is not required if the domain is used exclusively by one company.
Redirects from the final URL that take the user to a different domain
Example : The final URL http://example.com redirects to http://example2.com
Tracking templates that don’t lead to the same content as the final URL
Example : The final URL leads to a product category page, but the tracking template directs the user to a specific product page

My google account got suspended for the same reason as John, What are the next steps to take besides contacting google? Thank you in advance
Hello, my google account was suspended as well and I received the same message. Did you guys ever find the resolution to this?
Hi IIya,
what does sub domain mean? Is this like a sub folder after your domain name?
Sometimes I Advertise on Google with the following
my_domain_name.net/Folder_Name
Is this ok - using a folder Name?
Google hasn’t complained yet.
