It sounds like you were trying to do click arbitrage. Is that forbidden by Google / FB ads? I don't really understand why it would be, but I guess I could understand that being a more reasonable cause for a ban than the fact that you were advertising a chicken coop.

No arbitrage, just advertising Clickbank products through Facebook and Adwords.

I was told by Adwords staff, that if I change the content of the Chicken Coop site to conform to Google's policies, the account ban would be lifted.

Unfortunately, as an affiliate, I have no control over the content of the Clickbank site I am promoting, nor any warning as to when it went into 'non-compliance'.

I did not think the Chicken Coop site was insidious.
