I often see, when people looking for their query on : Adwords account suspended billing information.

Then let me tell, Such type of Account suspensions occurs when you enter fake billing information, typically done using virtual credit card and entering random names and profiles, Google is smart enough to detect that.

Unauthorised Attempt

Your Google AdWords account has been temporarily suspended due to suspected unauthorised access attempts.

This usually happens when you try to log into your account using public proxies, random VPN, RDP or from a remote location from where Adwords didn’t expect you to login. I do travel a lot and it’s never been an issue for me while logging in from another country but remote locations, VPN, RDP and Public proxies are different things.

Unfair Advantage Policy

This is a new kind of error when Google updated their policy and they states this when people have similar or diversify content and they are promoting it through single or multiple accounts over adwords. ‘We don’t allow advertisers to promote the same or similar content from multiple accounts on the same or similar queries’.

The above solutions fairly answer the main question ‘Why would an Google account be suspended? & What does it mean when your account has been suspended?’

Abuse of Promo Codes

If you have made an habit of using promo codes to run online ads, then let me tell you that using multiple promo codes is not allowed.
