          There's your proof. Unless your using some BH techniques you will probably get caught very easily, but you run a heavy risk. There are guys still running **** somehow. LOL

            1) The answer is yes (I do this all the time). There are major players in the PPC industry who do this successfully day in and day out and make a lot of money.
            2) Make sure the offer you are linking to is in good with Google (I have had a suspension then reversal over an affiliate offer that Google didn't like that they said violated their TOS)
            3) For every URL, you should have a separate Google account (even if you use the same name/billing information). You can organize them all under one Google MCC...but by having them separate, if one goes down, they won't all go down.
            4) Careful choosing your product. They need to choose a product with a landing page that converts and a company with affiliate software that works. Those two things will kill you with direct linking.

              I was just looking for a simple answer on this question and 'itsjustshelley'
              thankfully gave us one. the rest of you know nothings, please don't answer an important question like this if you don't know what you're talking about. It makes you look foolish and it could hurt someone's business.

              And thanks shelly for a real and informative answer.

              No. ( EDIT: Didn't see MCC, if you have an MCC account, then you CAN do this) Otherwise, if one account get's banned, any other one of your accounts AKA connected accounts will be banned as well, (Unless under an MCC account) Most CPA offers, will violate Google's TOS some way some how.

              You have look look at the information harvesting policies their landing page policies and their allowed business models. If you dont follow these, the first few or just the first time, you'll get your ads disapproved......but if your persistent......well then you will get your account permanently suspended (ask me how I know :\ ) and all your connected accounts as well. Google is very strict, so read over their TOS a lot, and call them personally to make sure your on the right track! The adwords team can be reached at 1866-2GOOGLE, or adwords-support@google.com

              Remember, even if you arent banned for now, you are walking on egg shells so get educated, make a landing page that doesnt violate their TOS and please dont make multiple accounts, because that can get you banned before you can say "banned."

              Goodluck!

    Yes - you can but if you direct linking to hypey clickbank offers then you will get banned. But direct linking to genuine lead generation and cost-per-sale offers is fine. Quality score is not saw much of an issue.
    Guys remember just respect google and make sure you offers and landing page provide value to the customers then you will not have all these issues

      well, this is interesting. I thought direct linking was dead for sure. But i definately dont want my new account to be in jeopardy doing it. Is there anyone who actually has a list of products that are on the black list with google as far as being unacceptable to promote? I mean, are we all to just guess which ones are ok and get our accounts suspended and just reinvent the wheel trying to figure it all out with trial and error? Does anyone have some sort of a list which affilliate products are ok to promote still? I got one account banned already and could hardly tell you why. It was the bridge page reason, but it was very vague and confusing. I tryed to work it out to no avail. that account is gone forever!( I even had my own domain and landing page i built they still said it was a bridge page. It was for the diet solution program and i used optimise press for the landing page, so i thought i was good to go...) Now, i am starting over and holding my breath to try and please google.... anyone know which products are on the black list? dieting products i guess are out... Google support was telling me that all affiliate products are no longer acceptable to promote with adwords!Is that really true? What is up with that? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    Yup it's possible unless you link to email or zip submits.

    Email and zip submits cosider as data entry, it violates Adwords TOS.

    You'll also need to focus on geo targeting. If the Adwords reviewer was redirected to a different offer, then it may leads to an inappropriate landing page.

    However it's not recommended. You'd ended up getting banned. : (
