[Google Ads Script] Past violations

The Kawasaki Z900 is an amazing bike. 

No-frills, bare-bones sport riding. 

I just got back from my vacation, trying to tame the Z900 in the Colorado Rocky mountains. What a blast!

Me and my buddies visit the US every year just for that. There’s no comparison between the US and Europe when it comes to  road tripping.  

We’ve been to Colorado before (a couple of times actually) and my buddy was a bit nervous; he “forgot” to pay his fine for the speeding ticket from one of our previous adventures. His “past violation” haunted him for the whole duration of our trip.

Which brings me to today’s topic. 

Before my vacation, we talked about “past violations” and how Google continues to not show ads that it had mistakenly disapproved in the past.

Here’s the thing: unless you notice “past violations” in your ads and take action, these ads will continue to not show.

I made a promise to create a script to alert you on any ad that has the status of being disapproved for “past violations,” so you can take action. Thanks to the help of many list members, the script is finally finished.

Here it is: https://nilsrooijmans.com/google-ads-script-past-violations-alert/

Thanks again to all of you who helped me test and fine-tune the code.

Happy scripting!
