The basics?
Okay here it is.
I have been having a hard time getting my footing in this industry, every step seems to be above my comprehension level, or I'm just screwing it up totally.
I need a layout, a do this, don't do that, kind of list, because so far, everything I've tried, pretty much, has been wrong.
I setup a product review site, and ran it for a while on Adwords. Within hours, the quality score of the keywords had dropped from 7/10, down to 1/10. So, I contact Google asking what's up, and I get the "This is your final warning" email.
I was lucky enough to get a support agent who actually tries to help me, but it feels like they are just not telling me what I need to know to avoid getting approved.
Example, last Friday, I got an email saying that one of the problems was that when someone came to my site, and viewed, they might get freaked out because when they'd click on the buy button, it would take them to the vendor's order page. In other words, the domain would change. That's all they told me. Didn't give me any direction on how to change it or anything.
So, today, after I replied to that letter, asking for a little clarity please, I was told that if the site had more selection, more than a handful like 2 or 3 choices, so, more than three (that's about as much as I could understand), then I might have a better chance of getting approved, since then, the customer would have had more selection. Oh and having a disclaimer about leaving the domain to visit the order page would also be a good idea.
Is it too much to ask for a simple layout of what will work and what will not? And what is against Google's policy's and what isn't? I mean, I'm disproved because I have 3 products in a review on my page, but not 4 or more?
Is there a book I didn't read or something? Some secret code I didn't get, or that I'm not entitled to yet?
I mean, what happens when I want to promote a product that doesn't have a comparison site on it. What if I wanted to sell a game strategy guide, and that's it? Too bad?
Can someone help me out ? I'm looking for just a little guidance and support, someone to bounce idea's off of, as it is right now, I'm working in a vacuum, I have no idea if what I'm doing is of any benefit or not.
That's it, if anyone has any tips, please let me know.
Thanks.
