Trying to advertise Acai on Google

williamrs · 11-17-2009, 06:21 PM

Hello, guys!

First of all, I want to say that I know that trials violate AdWords TOS and that's not possible to advertise landing pages promoting them with Google. However, I was considering something different and would like to know your opinion.

Basically, my idea is to create a blog or website that "exposes all the scams" in the weight loss industry, including acai, colon cleanse, diets, etc... And then I'm going to show some offers that are trustable, but not linking to them from my site. I would say something like "Here are some links where you can find good products that will really help you and just steal your money..." Among those links I would include some Clickbank products and also a link to a review page (all with a small description). That review page does promote Acai products and link to them.

I know that you may think that a page like this one wouldn't be profitable with PPC, and you are 100% right. However, it's just an idea and I think that it can become something profitable one day.

Well, so here is my question: do you think that I would be a victim of Google slap with this page?

Thank you!
William

Why Bother?

People don't want to spend money, they want it to be "Free" throw honestly out the window and make tons of cash... that's how it works these days. Not that I agree with it, but sadly seems the honest way isn't really the profitable way.

Jay,

Thank you for your reply. Actually, it was not my intention to fool people if it's what you thought. My scam list is really composed by scams, and my "god products" list is really composed by useful products. If you tell people that their credit card will be automatically charged $xx.xx every month after the trial period and that they need to call to xxx-xxxx in order to cancel their membership you will not be a scammer.

The idea of this page is to say how things work, what is scam and what's not. Of course, I'll make money if the visitor buys something from my links. However, it doesn't mean that I'm promoting a scam. I think that if you don't hide the real information and let people know what they are doing you are not a scammer.

do they ban accounts without a warning or will they send you an email an tell you that you have to fix your campaigns so that they are fine with their TOS.
It's hard to believe for me that google bans accounts without a warning.

Just my own personal opinion from my experience, I wouldn't go with that strategy... It's not going to work.

Affiliate Urge,

Yes, it's what I said before, I know it's not going to work this way. But what I would like to know is if Google would slap a campaign like this one... of course, this method wouldn't be profitable this way.

I don't think that google will slap a campaign like that. But, it's hard to say what Google will do these days. I would try other venues like Facebook or MySpace, to promote a page like yours.
