Aphiliate Prophet Experience/Google Slap???

[rarbois]

Hello,

I would greatly appreciate if someone can shed some light here. Today I created a campaign in Adwords using a clickbank product. I did direct linking and used afiiliate prophet keyword tracking url.

When my ad was approved I received a QS of 7 out of 10. After 30 minutes of monitoring it, my QS went from 7 to 1 and when I opened up the spreadsheet to find out what happened I was google slapped and to be on the first page I have to pay $10 per click and I was like holy crap.

So I suspended my campaign. Can someone share any experinces using affiliate prophet. From my understanding, Everytime I use the keyword tracking url I get slapped!

Does google hate keyword tracking urls???? Someone please help!

No I very much doubt a tracking system would be the problem. What would be the problem is the one of several things, first it could be the site you linked into or it could be a poor quality land page / site. lastly the keyword selection may be all wrong.

Also Google already has a good tracking system ou can use with clickbank, you do not need to use a third party tracking system to over complicate it.

In most cases just ask if you are complying with Mr G's T&C guidelines. if so you should be fine.

you will need to unpause those Q1 rated keys then delete them, pausing a poor rated key is the same as leaving it on and is not a good thing to do.

Thanks for the feedback, but here's something I can't understand. When google crawled and gave me a QS of 7, then why 30 minutes later it tanked to a QS of 1???

I only used 1 keyord in all three matches and that keyword is all over that site. Can you explain why if i received a QS of 7 then why did it tank to a QS of 1.

when you first load a campaign it will bounce and it can be normal for some keys to drop out, try some other keys, and it is not what you think should be the keyword that is important, its what google thinks should be the keyword, and they always win.

delete your q1 keys they will never be reborn like the Phoenix and rise from the ashes.
