I have create a html5 banner using Google Web Designer following pretty much all the guidelines (https://support.google.com/webdesigner/answer/3261498?hl=en&ref_topic=3261495&rd=1).

I published it locally and uploaded to google adwords campaign as an Image add. In my banner there is a simple form for the user to enter basic details and submit it. So i have just one event on submit button. All good so far. After i uploaded the banner to google adwords, when i tested the banner the whole banner is clickable for some reason. Somehow google is appending a click event on the whole banner.

But according to docs (https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/176108?hl=en)

"HTML5 ads that are not created in Google Web Designer are, by default, clickable on the entire area of the ad."
I used google web designer for this specific reason still i see the entire area clickable. Any ideas or suggestions or references would be great.

Thanks.

Here is a similar question and answer I found on the Adwords Community forum:


Just wanted to let your know that HTML5 or any display ad on AdWords
cannot be used with form elements in it. As you said, any click on the
HTML5 ads will redirect you to the landing page plus any display ads
that mimic a feature that they cannot actually perform (i.e. form fill
actions) will eventually get disapproved and your account may be
penalized for it.

Also, the ad that you mentioned had form fields was infact an
engagement ad and not an flash ad. Here are more details on Engagement
ads:
