Hey, try using flash ads with MSN, I just saw a banner for Laura'sweightloss in my Messenger window lol... that should have a decent conversion. who knows.
I paused everything in my account for 7 days, then turned it back on and everything seems fine now.
I unpaused non acai campaigns, my acai ones are deleted

How are you guys getting around the Acai bans on content network? Is there a work around to get them back up on content network? Thanks
I think your concern should be how to work with Google to lift the restriction to use the content network, and not how to get around it. You don't want to have to be sneaking around playing cat and mouse with Google for your entire affiliate marketing career.
Heres what google told me today:
Alex J: As I mentioned, we are limiting the frequency of certain dieting and weight loss-related advertisements on the content network due to the large number of complaints from our users and publishers. *This was done to ensure that users continue to enjoy a positive experience when using Google and unfortunately, will mean that our your advertisements will be limited.
:Alex J: Unfortunately, the issue is that your site is an affiliate site which contains no original content. *Because there are thousands of similar sites that all redirect users to the same place, your site provides no unique value to the user: Landing Page and Site Quality Guidelines - AdWords Help Center
That 2nd part is bullshit. lol. I had a completly original lander with video and all the bells and whistles.

I got slapped with an acai blog once and then redid it. The second one then got shut down after 7 days.
Then I just re-did some other campaigns, but these are also getting slapped! Just today, some other health related campaign, not weight loss, got slapped 1 hour after having restarted it.
Do you guys think it's worth asking my provider to change me to another ip and get a new account? I can't get any significant impressions on content as well anymore and clicks are costing much more than before.

My fear would rather be to get my actual account completely slapped including all campaigns on it. I heard that many people who called support asking why some campaigns got slapped, got their whole account and all campaigns slapped afterwards. But I guess calling them is the only real thing that you can do at this moment to get some decent answers.
lol
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 4 characters.
No one is going to tell you, otherwise the loophole will be closed by google sooner. I wouldn't use it on something as risky as acai blogs (in google's eyes), otherwise those accounts might get banned under manual review anyway.
I think what they're complaining about (and detecting) is just one obvious link to the affiliate. I mean in the first part they are explaining (if true) that they're not liking your affiliate, and then they say, the only link out is to an affiliate that's probably been flagged.
So what they mean is "your site's only purpose is to have people click on a link, regardless if there's a lot of fluff there or not, so we don't like it."
Clocking time. does anyone do flash cloaking. A flash button that has the affiliate link built in...... I'm saying something that everyone arleady does yes?
Yep, I have. That's what I posted about in this thread earlier. My LP had nothing to with dieting, dating or grants.
I'm gonna do a little experiment though, and set up a completely new style of lander for acai on search / content. Of course new domain, ip, etc. Nothing remotely close to ____weightloss.com or anything. I think this idea could really work if I can stay below the Slap-Radar(tm).
My main account is from 2004 and other campaigns are still going well with good QS on it, even on content. This despite the fact that I have had multiple campaigns slapped in the past.
I will post back here if the results prove interesting.
Yes the site had more than that. It had unique blog posts and articles interlinked throughout but Google says they penalize blog-style sites with lower QS.
I know Google is cracking down on all the GirlsWeightLoss blogs, mainly because of their lack of content, but this is surprising. Were all your pages sales pages? Was the content heavily "borrowed"? Was the blog new?
Those are the only three reasons I can think of, because Google won't penalize a site because of its underlying CMS.
