Hi i was just wondering if someone might know the answer to my question about using Google Adsense PPC. Let say i want to promote clickbank product XYZ. I have created an affiliate site for XYZ, but google PPC does not allow you to promote an affiliate site on their PPC. So, i was wondering, could i just create a PPC campaign, promoting the clickbank product XYZ's main sales page using my affiliate hoplink url, or are you not aloud to do this being it is not your site?

Thanks for reading

    I guess you mean adwords, not adsense.

    You can promote an affiliate, but you have to follow the rules.

    Your destination url has to be the same as the one promoted.

    Many CB products do not allow you to use their domain in
    PPC programs.

    It's all about creating the perfect landing page.

    The reason people think google hates affiliates is because
    people try like a dog to link to the cb sales page, and those
    sales pages can be full of stuff that adwords will just not
    allow. That's one of the biggest reasons direct linking is an
    iffy proposition with adwords.

    Many people will probably tell you to try something other than
    adwords. But it's not because they hate affiliates, but the way
    affiliates try and make a sale goes against adwords TOS.
