Google Rejects BarCamp Kerala Advertisement

BarCamp Kerala has come a long way since its very humble beginnings at Technopark. The 10th edition of the unconference is scheduled for May 15th at SCMS B-school Kalamassery.

Since this was the 10th event we wanted to make it special and get some new attendees. A friend gave me some free adwords credit and we decided to do a banner ad campaign targeting Kerala’s techies.

BarCamp Kerala 10

I created the above ad, infact its a template from Google itself. Two days after this I got a call from google saying that they cannot approve my ad since it contains the word “Bar” and its against their policies. I tried to reason with her citing examples of other words with “Bar” in it, but failed. She send me the following email also.

Now I dont know how to react to this situation. Even the coolest of companies can be dumb and stupid sometimes.Similar Posts:
