    Because you're not supposed to use affiliate links directly with Google. You need to buy your own domain and pretty much create your own site so that you can get traffic there and they can click on the link or w/e at your site. Google is TOUGH on this stuff.

        Yes, you can do that with the Wordpress site.

        It's easier said than done by entirely possible.

        I think you'll find that they don't like forwarding a domain either to your aff link.

        Let me put this in black and white for you.

        you can not use a direct link in the promotion because the site more than likely does not meet google terms.

        (this has been reported before that this site (from memory) is just one of the many at clickbank that do not meet googles terms) yet the vendor probably continues to promote SEM / adwords as a viable way to promote their product even though they know this information. (write the vendor for clarification)

        Next because it is a site that does not meet terms there is no way that you will for any amount of time (shorter than the lifespan of a may fly) that you will ever float that site regardless of what people will tell you. It will not be if it happens but when it happens and the almighty crap will hit the fan with a lifetime suspension of your account, if that has not already happened.

        You can not regardless use a redirected / masked domain name as this is also producing a slim shady destination which is also against googles terms and is not allowed, some people will tell you its OK, play with the devil if you wish to follow that advice, so in clear terms you can not use a masked domain name to redirect to a affiliate link.

        To think you can then build a land page to redirect a link again to a non approved G site will also just land you in hot water. this is also dancing with the devil for many reasons.

        First 99% of people are lazy and slap happy so they will do the bare minimum to build the site and really just build a crap page that does not have the required supporting pages, or they will add links to make it look like they have these pages.

        They will have no supporting information and in short terms its the biggest mess leading to no visitor value and usually a real corny suck hole buy me pretty please button, and this alone breaks terms in a sense but your now building bridge page as a way to solve the work around and it wont work.

        Even if you then built a really good full site with every bell and whistle, and then patched that site in as you link, (hey i have snuck past the big G) think again you will be found and you will be sucker punched.

          I agree.

          If you want to do affiliate marketing on Google you can still. BUT it's a lot more work then it ever was. You need a full site with real unique, interesting content for them to even give you a half decent quality score and not classify you as bridge or thin affiliate site.

          There's a gigantic gap between what we as marketers know works and what google wants to see. It's still possible, but you have to look at it from their side and give them what they want to make it work with them.

          Otherwise, yeah, it's ban city.



          Thankfully there's more then just Google Adwords in the PPC world.
