PPC - Is Affiliate Marketing Dead On Google?
- SEO |
I had a successful ad/landing page combination running on AdWords for the better part of 2 years only to have my QS lowered to 1 last week.
When I emailed support to find out what was going on, they replied that my landing page was deemed to be a "bridging page" and, as such, was not allowed.
The format for my page was the following:
Headline and Offer
Product image
Testimonial
Product Options (with links)
Included Bonuses (with purchase)
Opt-in box with more bonuses for opting in
As you can see, my page had little by way of text. The keywords selected were "buyer" keywords, so there was no need for a review or any persuasion.
So, according to Google, this was a bridging page because it's sole purpose was to get the visitor to click through to the vendor.
I then re-designed the landing page- updated the look and feel and included it in a blog layout. The landing page is now a site with links to product reviews and competing products in the left margin. I kept the landing page format the same otherwise.
This is what Google told me next:
"Thank you for your continued patience. I understand you made a few changes to your landing page per our suggestions. However, I checked your website with our Specialist and confirmed that your website continues to serve as a bridge page. Upon clicking on certain links on your website, the user still needs to go to another website to buy your product. Please understand that in order to be compliant per our landing page guidelines, you need to promote your product on your website and the user need not go to another website to buy the product."
Is that it? The end of affiliate linking for PPC?
