Hope this helps.
Emmanuel,
Thanks for your reply. What's happened in the interim is that my GMC account has been permanently suspended.
I contacted my Google account rep and started an email thread. We scheduled a call but by the time of the call I had provided a detailed breakdown of my account suspension and of all of the things I could think of that might have triggered it. In so doing, I may have inadvertently compounded the possible reasons for the shutdown.
So the problem has now ballooned very rapidly into at least these two parts:
Is following your link still worthwhile given that the GMC account has been permanently suspended?
Please let me know if I should proceed with that, or if a different path is in order given the permanent suspension.
Thanks so much again.
Best regards,
David
When Google says the account is permanently suspended, then there is nothing that you can do. I have no advice for you other than, look for other advertising channels.
