    Banned Adwords account notifications

    All the campaigns in my account stopped receiving impressions last month but I did not receive any notification from Google of an Adwords ban. I thought they were supposed to be improving their process, informing you and allowing it to be reviewed upon request. I tried to phone them but I end...

    Stolen landing page

    Scrubbers

    Hey all, been running an offer and had a nice $3.29 epc with 9 sales for 2 days. Next 2 days were 0.55 epc and 1 sale. What do you think, random fluctuation or scrubbing fuckers? Jon

    Dammit! I had a 5 campaigns for the same site with a quality landing page running for the last 7 months. Now Google have slapped it, giving my previous 7-10/10 QS a 1/10. Reason stated: Poor quality landing page. It's got all the usual crap: contact, privacy etc. It's not acai, colon etc...

    Never delete Keywords!

    Here goes...I think you should never delete any keywords. Why? Let me tell you about the frog that decided it would jump half way across a pond. So he did so. Then he decided to jump half way again. He kept on doing this to infinity and never reached the other side! That is the problem with...

    Wordpress verses Static landing pages

    Have been considering using Wordpress to do affiliate landing pages but find it a pain in the arse to edit. What are the pro's and con's of using Wordpress verses putting a site together using Dreamweaver? e.g. ease of use, speed of creation, how much Google likes blogs verses static etc...

    Rebill offers and Google

    I've read that Google doesn't like Acai and is clamping down on weight loss products, on both Search and Content. Is this because they don't like rebill offers or just the Acai/rebill combination? Are they clamping down on all rebill offers? Thanks, Jon

    Tracking on the Content network

    How can you track which sites lead to conversions on the content network if the adwords tracking pixel doesn't work with your affiliate network? The network I am using has the direct track system but they can't get the adwords conversion pixel to fire. I am aware that you can use prosper202 but...

    Google Mobile Content policy

    I got a mobile content violation last summer for a ringtone LP so that ad is disabled. But all the others in the campaign are still receiving traffic. Do you think it is risky to keep these running? Should I shut it down? Do people get banned for that? Thanks, Jon

    Just went to buy a .com and they want £6.85 for the domain and £6.05 for the private registration. £12.90 seems a bit steep to me. :( Have they upped their prices lately? Jon

    US Proxys with live.com

    I've got a bit of a challenge using a proxy with Live Search. I've tried using guardster and worldproxy202 so I can use a US IP address, because I want to view US based msn ads (I live outside of the US). But when I click an advert to see the landing page, I get an error saying this: Directory...

    White labelling and Adwords

    Google Adwords seems to not like bridge pages too much nowadays, or so I have heard. A prominent marketer receive a warning from Google about this, stating the landing page was not compliant due to its bridgey nature! So...does Google view a white label product as a bridge page too? I mean you...

    Ringtone carrier traffic

    At the moment, it seems that ringtones are all over the place. I had a few campaigns going and ran them mainly through Azoogle, making some profit. Now they have slashed payments considerably on most offers. But not only that, they have stopped taking traffic from Nextel, Boost, Sprint and...
