In Google’s bad ads report, which they released last month, the online search company announced the removal of 1.7 billion ads over the course of 2016, a huge increase from the 780 million culled in 2015. The surge in removals comes mainly from changes in their policy, which now covers ads related to healthcare, gambling, fake news, and more. Not all ads caught by Google’s ad removal programs are bad, however. And if you have an ad that follows Google’s policies but got blocked anyway, it’s possible to remedy the situation.
