    What's with all the essay-type questions? Are you trying to get other people to write your ebook for you?

      Haha!

      The reality is that Google doesn't like affiliates.

      Their highly enforced policies on bridge pages, comparison shopping, and information harvesting leave little room for affiliates to effectively advertise on Google.

      Google is very hypocritical with its own business model, its organic results vs. what it enforces on adwords, and its treatment of customers. It would benefit the web as a whole if users started boycotting the Google search engine all together, but that is a topic for a whole other discussion.

      The real question here should be: How can affiliates still use Adwords effectively or is that no longer possible?

    LOL

    If someone is making a 5-6 figure income from affiliate marketing which is purely based on Adwords and this all disappears in one day, how to you you think it affected the lives or those marketers?

    Hmm well I quit.

    Not affiliate marketing but aff marketing on adwords.

    I still advertise non aff stuff on adwords. I still do affiliate marketing on other traffic sources.

    Honestly, to each their own but I wasn't willing to compromise my account as adwords is very good for my non affiliate marketing business.
