Did you actually say on your site that you didn't have a product in an obvious way?

I was just about to do this for a product I've just started working on and I'd planned to be quite honest about the status and simply collect emails so I could keep people notified.

I made it clear that the product was under development and a form to collect emails, after the user clicked on the "Sign-Up" button.

I think Google's approach is "Why is this guy paying money to promote a software that is still under development? He must be a spammer!". Of course I'm just guessing that: Like I said before, they refused to give me an actual explanation of why they banned me.
