the idea seems a bit too simple. i cannot believe G would not see this coming. if you are trying this make sure sure you are prepared for the slap lol
 
it works, but you dont think google will fix it if everyone starts doing it?
I hope everone doesnt fuck that up by doing that. It is really helpful, when you need to link to an alternative lander and bypass QS bullshit.

Oh, and it is old news
 
Ok, here is the secret. You can have your display and destination url to point to WebMd and point your kw url to your blog. Google is dumb that way. Oh btw - that will also give you a higher Q/S because WebMd is an authority site.

Go ahead and flame me you non believers - but its true.
You can also cloak. I cloak a few of my campaigns, just to different pages on my website (not to other sites) to try and get better QS than my own LPs will provide.

Ah, right, I almost forgot about that method. I sense Google will have to close this loophole soon with such high traffic volume. I can see large advertisers with deep pockets (WebMD, Nutrisystem...) sending abuse reports and contacting their Adwords reps about this.
Trust me, it's already being done. All I have to say is be careful - Not only can Google take action against your account, but I wouldn't be surprised if the big advertisers started going after the cloakers/kw-level-link-redirectors.
 
it doesn't last long they catch on pretty quick and they will shut your account down. It's happened to me and a few other affiliates I know.
 
Yup. For sure. Not worth it.

EDIT: Did a quick search on some sites... Found 4 advertisers already doing this now Lol. Enjoy it for the short time it will work.

Yea, as soon as your campaigns are under manual review, they will catch onto it. That is why most campaigns last several days, since you haven't received a manual review yet.

Agreed.

Kind of like doubleserving, even while it may be easy to do and use a MCC as cover, if you're found out by Google good luck unburying yourself.
 
Adwords Bots do crawl the keyword url, it's just not as frequent as the destination url, so the trick won't last very long. It used to work great even on search network, but now, I don't think so... good luck getting your account reinstated, same goes to those lazy people who just iframe your offers, google hates that.

I believe the days of this practice are numbered, too. Competition is fierce, affiliates are not just going sit by idly and watch whole ad blocks dominated by one affiliate and his 3 google accounts. Some people may be doing well now but these tactics have a way of catching up to you.
 
I've got a call from Google about that. They asked to change a destination url to other site.

I asked if I can change a dest.url to a less popular site, but not mine, and they agreed.

The trick is that I'm in Russia and spoke with my Russian account rep. He said that he understand that I don't care about copyrights (who cares in Russia?), but it can be a problem for them.

Yea Great This is what we're dealing with in the U.S.A

and networks wonder why we have to resort to adwords brutality.
