Question about Adwords

I haven't used Adwords for quite a while and I'm seriously considering putting some serious funds into it again.

I just want to know Adwords policies with affiliates, I'm hearing things that you can no longer direct link to affiliate links (yes, it was that long ago since I used my Adwords account).

How about pointing to a landing page with an affiliate link, would that destroy your quality score?

What if you cloak your affiliate link to point to a page with a PHP redirect (ala Google Sniper /go/product-name type of redirect)? Would that increase your quality score a bit?

I'm hearing things that your Adwords account may get banned if you promote affiliate links at all, with a landing page or not. Can someone confirm this?

Thank you very much.

  • might be best to do a quick scan of the rules http://adwords.google.com/support/aw...e=1316546&rd=1

    wrong you can direct link all day every day as direct linking is OK, if you think about it every link is a direct link to where it needs to go the affiliate code makes no difference.

    where people go wrong is where your linking to, if it's a single / thin land page that has no user value , the product / service or any other part does not meet G guidelines then it will be slammed.

    many click bank and CPA offers all fall short of googles guidelines so in many ways they will not cut it / some still do but a few only.

    as above landing page ? does it meet googles guidelines thats first , quality score would probably not rest to much on the link but would involve other factors such as your ad, keyword on page set up and ctr as an example.


    ? what are you thinking here / that will not wash the destination and display URL must read from the same page, redirect will not float your boat.

    what gets people banned is people not following G guidelines / G still has information to assist affiliates that may help you

    cheers
  • Well all those TOS says that CB and CPA products are not allowed. But there are few people already doing it.
    better to test and try. get failed. try again . and again and again. Success comes that way
  • Anyone else?
  • Honestly, adwords are great but I've found that by doing keyword research has been the best foundation for my success. I use programs like Google's Keyword tool, Market Samurai, Traffic Travis, Keyword Winner (wordpress plugin) and I've managed to make a lot of money from Google Adsense.

    If you know what you're doing, don't pay for adwords.
