    Could you please take a look at my page in signature. If I will remove "VISIT WEB PAGE" buttons on home page, then google will not think it is a bridge page?

      I'm well-versed in AdWords. If you are sending people to the home page, I would think you'd be OK from a bridge-page perspective. It looks like all links on that page are going to other pages on your site. Is that correct?

      Wait, nevermind. it looks like you are still bridging to aff links. It will still get tagged as a bridge page.

      If you can send people right to the checkout page from your site, you should be OK. Otherwise, you'll have to make use of secondary landing pages.

    If you don't mind me asking... What Wordpress theme are you using on your site? It looks great.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey man

    I see this thread is a little old, but I checked out your site and I was just wondering how is it performing now?

    I agree that it's a nice looking site and pretty impressive for your first affiliate site. My affiliate sites NOW don't usually look that good LOL.

    You making any money with it? and is Google allowing you to run PPC now? They just flagged me too for a site I own.

    Your sig. is a bridge page. Your not selling anything directly on your site/page, your sending traffic to an affiliate site/page that looks like a CPA offer.

    Instead of buttons that say "Learn more" and send to your affiliate's page, make it say "buy now" and send to their checkout page. I've just read about the product, I don't want to read more. I'm ready to buy so send me to the checkout. For same reason, get rid of "official website" button. You'll also likely get a higher conversion rate this way instead of making visitors go to another page/site and look for the buy button.

      I've tried this in the past. It failed horribly!

    I actually got a person from Google on the phone, the definition of a bridge page he gave to me was, a page that the searcher lands on that then wants the searcher to go to another page to take a further action.
    So that description includes any article that goes to another page, any page that has links to other pages where the searcher can not obtain more information about their search.
    He also said that opt in pages are not allowed as they are requiring the searcher to take further action to gain more information and direct linking (even on on a page with no competition) is not allowed as that diminishes the searchers experience.
    By affiliate he meant ANY affiliate page (just to clarify that is ANY affiliate page).
    I have tried blog pages, full on multipage websites, single page websites. Each time I have been blocked by google. I have even seen big company sites doing exactly what I got blocked for.
    Personally I have no idea how to get google to run an advert, but I hope someone on here can give us some clear cut advice that actually does work.

    It's easy. Allow the visitor to actually purchase the product you are advertising right from your page. It's not rocket science folks.

      Can you send them directly to the checkout page on another website? For instance, they click on the "Buy Now" button and it goes to a clickbank order form, or an amazon checkout page.

        Yes you can. That's what Google wants.

          Is this true? If so can you possibly pm me an example if you have any running?
          I have tried many times to show ads on Google and failed EVERY time. Feel like tearing my hair out as I have a site that converts very well on MSN ads but cant get accepted on Google which has a far higher traffic volume.

      Cloaking links has nothing to do with a bridge page violation.
