Disapproved Ads

Bid Filtering says that one of the reasons a bid might be filtered out is because the snippet refers to a disapproved ad.

Ads are disapproved because they don't comply with one or more of the Authorized Buyers policies for advertising on the Google network. Authorized Buyers reserves the right to disapprove ads that breach any of these policies and to suspend entire accounts for certain violations.

Use the Real-time Bidding API to review the status of your creatives. . Troubleshoot disapproved ads lists the reasons for disapproval of an ad along with instructions for correcting the issue that led to the disapproval.

Note: The Buyer API provides methods for submitting a creative for verification, checking the status of a creative that you have submitted, seeing disapproval reasons for your submitted creatives, and retrieving a list of all your active creatives. As a proactive measure, you should use these features to check for and fix any problems that might cause your ad to be disapproved.
