Why do ad accounts get banned in search arbitrage?
Most bans follow policy problems with the adverts or the landing page: exaggerated or false claims, sensational images, fake interface elements, restricted topics such as loans or health without the right set-up, or a page that does not match the advert. Repeated rejections, payment failures and links to previously banned accounts also trigger restrictions.
Platforms review both the creative and the destination. Ad review is partly automated, so an advert can run for days before a later check removes it. An account ban usually comes after a pattern, not a single rejection.
Arbitrage accounts are exposed for structural reasons. They launch many creatives, favour attention-grabbing angles, and send people to pages whose main feature is more ads. The sustainable fix is boring: accurate headlines, claims the page supports, proper ad disclosure, and separate handling for any restricted vertical. Attempts to get around a ban with new identities or an agency ad account obtained for that purpose breach platform terms and tend to end in wider bans.
