PIPE BAN Google has changes affecting pipes. Will affect online stores etc. No more advertising allowed is how I read it. This includes most search engines.

Could you supply more information? Where did you see this? Thanks.

google anything that refers to tobacco. Hibu runs my online store said most search engines not accepting ads referring to tobacco. I asked did they state briar tobacco pipes? answer was YES!

go to googles' sight it is there with threats of freezing sights , suspending domains etc.To say i'm pissed.There wouldn't be a u.s.a. without tobacco. Political correctness is the downfall of us all.

So I just googled "pipe tobacco." Nothing out of the ordinary.

i think he is referring to this: https://support.google.com/adwordspolic ... 6038?hl=en

which from how i read it, affects only usage of google adwords service. not that big of a deal methinks.

hope you are right

sam you may be right.I called my brother, a tech head, he said to put my gun away.it has to do with advancements on googles sight. they won't accept ads to do with pipes,tobacco, etc for your site. which is one of the ways you would advance. if so all remains the same. Thanks for reading that correctly. Next time i'll wear my glasses.

That's what I was suspecting. They declined my ads about a year ago.
