Investigating Merchant Center Ad Disapprovals by Google
Google is no stranger to complexity in its advertising network. With the recent surge in Merchant Center ad disapprovals, it’s no surprise that Google has begun to investigate the cause.

Advertisers Required to Verify on Twitter
Twitter has recently announced the introduction of mandatory verification for all advertisers. This means that all accounts wanting to advertise on the platform must have a verified badge next to their name. This is designed to bring more transparency and trust when it comes to advertising. By having verified advertisers, Twitter is also making sure that it is compliant with legal and safety standards. All verified advertisers must have a valid email address and a secure password, as well as an up-to-date privacy policy. Additionally, all ads must be approved by Twitter before they can be published, ensuring all content is suitable for the platform. This new process will help ensure users can trust the ads they are viewing, and provide advertisers more peace of mind that their campaigns are safe. In short, Twitter’s new verification policy is great news for both consumers and advertisers alike.
