Frustrated! Why do the Google Gods hate me so?

Ok, why does Google hate me so much? Why can't they just let a newbie start making money online so he can leave one of the worlds crappiest cubicle jobs? Why?

Here's the scoop:

After reading tonnes of information, getting bombarded with IM emails, buying programs (thankfully returned most) I finally decided to start taking action about a month ago. What did I start with your just dying to know- I found a good Clickbank product (good in the sense that there are tonnes of emails, articles and banners+ support to be used and good gravity although competitive). The product creator sent out emails on how to succeed with adwords. I was excited and pumped up! *
I created my ads and then ran them on the search and content network after doing keyword research etc. At first, I was getting quite a bit of traffic so it looked exciting. Then Google came along and biatch slapped me because I was cloaking my links using Pretty Links (link was www.mywebsitename/whateverIchose- did not use tiny url). Quality score went down and now this idea is dead.

Fine, I can accept that this is a method that may have worked at one time but less so now as someone pointed out to me here in the WF.

After reading post upon post here and learning about the benefits of Article Marketing, I decided to do things that might take more time, but in the long term will pay off.

So, I set up my money review site with a free ebook optin, after Market Samurai showed me the keyword way. I *wrote an article - ok I should say I re-wrote one with the product creators permission using The Best Spinner (going to write many more), posted it to my site and respun versions (although I now know duplicate content is a myth) to a Hubpage, Blogger and Wordpress sites I now own and linked all back to my money site. Also submitted to ezine and articlebase which both accepted it with links back to money site. Due to time limitations this was all I could do (work and mba got in the way) but I will be scaling this significantly in a few days. Anyways...

A couple days later someone opted in to my email list for the free ebook. I was ecstatic! *I barely did anything and already had one of the six people who saw my ezine sign up. It didn't matter I hadn't set much up in aweber in terms of email follow ups but the basics were there.

So I started adding in follow up emails from the vendor with a lot of great tips and content for readers relevant to the ebook in the hopes the person clicks the links and buys the product (why did I just explain that in an IM forum .

I added myself to the email list to ensure everything goes ok. *I looked and saw that the message went out. Logged into my gmail, and didn't see the email. Where did it go? *The bastwardos known as Google marked it as spam even though aweber calculated 0 out of 5 for spam. *The message stated something along the lines about the links in the email not being trustworthy or some iteration of that. In actuality, the content in the email is non spammy at all and provides excellent information and not about the product- more general tips and research information.

So now I am peaved because the person who signed up has gmail and I know many others will too! *I finally a *have good plan in place and Google is going to screw me again! *The 2 links in the email are within anchor text and do redirect again using pretty link, but they are not cloaked and rather a 307 redirect. www.mysite.com/somethingimakeup

So I need your help please. I constantly get tonnes of affiliate emails from people using both tiny urls and redirects in the same way I use them and they don't go to spam. So what gives? *What do I need to do to get around this? If I can, I might make some money. If not, this plan is pretty screwed. Thanks in advance and sorry for the short post.
