There was a time last year when they banned us (BuySellAds) from advertising on AdWords. I doubt that it was any sort of intentional target toward us; however, it seemed rather convenient to ban us for having customer testimonials where our users spoke of earning more money through BuySellAds than through AdSense.
It took me a while (month or so) and dozens of emails to get our AdWords account un-banned by them, all while using the AdSense landing page to show the contrast of the language they use to advertise their OWN products and how it was much more aggressive than the language we use (through customer testimonials) to advertise our product.
We didn't read too much into it though, as I suspect they had better things to do than strong-arm a (comparatively speaking) super-tiny competitor.
