That makes it sound like its the affiliate, not the campaign, that they make their decision about. If that's true, that's fucked up. Royally, fucked up.

Oh, nice to get clarification on the content network issue. So if they are only allowing a limited number of diet AD's appearing on the content network, that means they are placing campaigns with a :
a) Higher QS
b) Higher CPC
Onto the publisher's pages.

Maybe. Or they are putting through 90% of affiliates that they like and 10% of affiliates they dont like. From what I can tell, the "new content QS" is mostly about their manual review of your site.
For instance, even in campaigns that I have that arent WL related, my content runs 10% of capacity if there has been a manual review. On accounts they seem to like, my campaigns havent had a manual review and get 100% capacity of traffic.
I know some competition in campaigns where I have been reviewed are NOT getting a higher CTR than I am on my ads and do NOT have a higher CPC. But my traffic is still down 90-95%.
In speaking with google they are limiting the number of impressions they will allow in certain niches. It has nothing to do with QS issues (she backfliped here a few times), but more to do with the "customer experience".
Anyway, after speaking to my rep at length and asking her why my campaigns were hit she quite plainly stated that " we haven't stopped every affiliates traffic running certain offers but we will. Its just a matter of time."
Oh well, its googles playground and we have to play by their rules.

Yep, I would think that this will continue to happen on any saturated niche because too many people are copying ads/lps and having 7 of the same ads on a page is a bad user experience. So pretty much the people that are copying campaigns word for word are ruining the playground. Unfortunately, I doubt it will stop, so get in early and bank on new niches or find a work around.
This may be true but I have my doubts. Here's why...
What I am seeing in my specific niche in question is that there are 3 or 4 competitors that have their own products, with their own long term branding. There rebilling is not as obvious and they are not affiliates of anyone else. These companies market online and offline.
All of these companies are running on content continously.
Every affiliate, including myself, that is marketing rebills with common blog/review/and even less obvious landing pages are being capped at about 5% volume.
I don't think this is a coincidence.
I would not be surprised if your rep isn't being given all the correct information.
I mean, how can we trust what google says, when they've proven to lie and misinform over and over again. Boy crying wolf, imo.
What Google is saying, and what I am seeing isn't adding up. It amazes me that google makes these changes AND THEY DONT EVEN INFORM THEIR OWN CS REPS!
Only company in the world who can get away with this...
Good info, Harry and BigL. Nice how they don't tell you that your account is being fucked over.
Its fucking amazing what google can do. Can you name any other business in the world where a customer who wants spend $2 million plus per year is told to fuck off.
Amazing. Luckily I am diversified, but the sheer volumes of googles traffic hurt when its turned off.

LOL!
I haven't looked at refferals that closely but it seems to be specific sites on the content network that are flagging these ads. I can accept that.
What would be nice is for google to allow the ads on all other sites. Instead they just slap, slap, slap and fuck our accounts.
EXACTLY!!! That's proper business. That would be common sense with any other business model in the world. If your content partner doesnt want a particular type of ad, let them have the ability to EXCLUDE it. Just like the google exclusion tool does. Pretty simply. Pretty basic.
But instead, Google sacrifices millions in monthly revenue fucking over peoples livelyhoods during a recession.
Ah! But there is one fatal flaw in your reasoning - you are assuming that they are reasonable people!
I've been effected by this too. I was wondering what in the world was happening with my campaigns, but now I know.
It really is UNREAL how a company wants to turn down MILLIONS of dollars each year. It's not like we're promoting crack... :angryfire:
Could you drop me an email update on that too please?Hey buddy, sending you an email with the top IQ offers shortly
