There I am, a nice campaign to try and drum up some affiliates for my new launch. It was costing me about $2.50 Australian per affiliate... nice. I'm doing the math... if just 1 affiliate in 50 make just 1 sale, I still break even, and build my list... I can't go wrong... I'm spending the money already... then...

BAM SLAP!

For no apparent reason, my ads are no longer being shown due to my landing page being "poor".

It's ok, I can fix this... I go to Google help... what do they want from me? Holly s@#! they want a lot... FAQ links, About us, authority links, keyword rich, alt tags, meta tags, no broken code... the lists goes on. Well, it's worth it... I'm going to spend ALL DAY jumping through every stupid hoop... even though a was not tricking anyone, not scamming anyone... I said in the ad i was showing them an affiliate offer, and that's exactly what they saw... and it converted well.

Ok, so ALL DAY later, I've done everthing asked of me. Since I don't really want to wait until the bot crawls, I start a new campaign and delete the old one. Success... it doesn't say my landing page is poor.... wait a minute... an hour later, don't seem to be getting the clicks... better just check to see what is going on...

WHAT THE F@#!

Landing page is poor, ads not showing. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

I hate Adwords!

    Ditch the domain, sorry man, but if you have been slapped get rid of the domain and start over.

    Even Amish Shah encourage this.

    If you send a PM to me i can give you som valuable information about this issue.

    Cheers!

    After you've been Google Slapped, the only medicine is...

    Get a brand new domain
    Change the ad... even the slightest change will do
    Change the campaign name

    Start over with the new site content.

    Hi!

    Do you think its possible to use the same domain, but saving site content to another folder??

    i mean, www .site. com/web1 , www .site. com/web2, and so on

      Best thing you can do is to get a new domain and keep the content original. you dont want google linking your new domain with the old. Good luck.
