If I set up a Google Adwords campaign using my domain name as the destination page and I have that domain forwarded directly to a Click Bank product's sales page through my affiliate link will this get me slapped or is this acceptable?

    Its acceptable but your quality score is going to be waaay low dude and Google is going to rape your pockets and keep raising the minimum bids you need to place in order keep your ad showing. You need a landing page with targeted and optimized content, period. There is no way around it. If you're going to do something, do it right!

    Also on your landing page get some inbound backlinks with the keyword your Adwords ad is targeting, an about us page, a contact us page, terms of service, a disclaimers if applicable, and a newsletter page. This will raise your Quality Score and keep your bid minimums really low.

      Thanks for the advice Claude.
      I guess I just need to build a better landing page.
      The reason I was considering redirecting directly to the product sales page is that my landing page a high bounce rate and I was loosing too much paid traffic.
      I just had a Blogger blog with a breif product review on it.

    The right thing to do in this case is to work on the landing page. Even 30 minutes work on the page could make a huge difference. Put yourself in the frame of mind of the person landing there. Why are they there? Tell a story (hopefully a true one), and send them off to the offer.
