Anyone using Adwords?

I have used Adwords a lot and I've made quite a bit of money with it in the past. Now I've released a product in the dating niche, and ouch, the regulations!

First of all, I have to delete all popups on the whole site (not just the landing page where I send customers to). Second of all, I must add a disclaimer link next to every single line in the copy that talks about benefits.

Can you imagine how that would look like?

This is the quote straight from Google himself: "As you can see, the disclaimer needs to be clearly visible next to the statements rather than just at the bottom of the page, which currently is the case."

Are Google joking or is FTC some communist DDR-organization that is out to hinder people from making money?

What is happening to America people? What is happening?

Is anyone using Adwords successfully without getting banned? And if so, are you also using a link to your disclaimer page next to every line of copy on your sales page?

  • It's because of your niche = dating.

    Please them or get out of Adwords, I guess you don't have much choice here, do you?

    I have some affiliate sites up & running on Adwords that doesn't even have "disclaimer", but then again I'm far from dating niche
  • I've used AdWords for pretty much every product and service I've ever been involved with - only one I ever had an issue with was a drug rehab center, because some of the search terms where pharmaceuticals (beating oxycontin addiction, etc.).

    Google monitors for scams and saturation to a degree - there are tons of low quality pharmaceuticals, dating sites, weight loss, vitamins, contests and giveaways, etc. so those are watched more closely. Their job is to deliver relevant results to the searcher, not pages that are designed to facilitate affiliate clicks to other sites.

    • I have to agree with 'Online Only', it is the niche you are in.
  • Yes I know it's the niche. I've used Adwords for years promoting in the golf industry, basketball etc. etc. It is just annoying as hell though because there are literally 100's of thousands of searches a month on perfectly targeted keywords. And clicks go for cheap.

    I guess this is why the competition is so low on all keywords that involves "how to attract women" etc. No one is advertising on that because Google just won't let you.

    It's ridiculous.
