Went away for the weekend and came back to find my 1st 2 sales!!

[kjr]

I started the 30 day challenge a couple of weeks ago, but haven't got as far into it as I had hoped. I have my website up and running, and have started to put backlinks out there. Google gave me £100 free to use for an adwords campaign, so I happily accepted it. This has been running since the beginning of last week. I have set my max daily costs at present to £5 whilst testing.
I was away for the weekend, so decided to check clickbank when I came back and I have made 2 sales of DUBturbo. It is a great feeling!!
I now need to keep refining the ads, and continue to try and attract free traffic. It definitely pays to take advantage of any free offers like this.

Congrats - makes me feel good too

I just helped you flip your first offer and it's a great feeling every day when I see or hear people finally realize/see this shit is real. Very cool that you got two as well - you're onto somethin' (and you have good timing re the 2.0 release).

Congrats on your sales, but be very careful with Adwords. One day they love, the other they ban you.

[MedicAffiliate]

Did you direct adwords traffic to your site or direct link..only reason I'm asking is whether this one product-one affiliate rule still holds. Good luck with your site

[Blackman]

Medic, forget about direct linking - it's DEAD long time ago. You may get away with it for a few days/weeks, but not for too long.

Nowadays, you MUST have a landing page, but even in this case Adwords is still taking a piss. Too many stories around of established affiliates getting banned for stupid reasons.

[Vadym]

If people buy those deeply discounted Adwords vouchers - isn't direct linking fine, given the small nature of the budget and needing to create a new account for each voucher, and the being able to blow a 100 bucks in a day and a half on a campaign you've already optimized and just have to replicate with each new voucher?

[MedicAffiliate]

Problem is you need bank acc verification each time you want the $100 voucher to be accepted..they're easy to come by but not so much bank accounts..so part from an unpredictable seo, 2.0 spam is the way to go :|

Well that didn't last long. I got an email from google yesterday to say that they have suspended my ad campaign because it doesn't comply with their policies. I go to a landing page, there are 4 affiliate links on the page. There is also a link to my home page, which has no affiliate links, but links to Dubturbo, Cyber Sequencer and Art of Beats reports. I think that the reason that they don't like it is that I don't have pages for products from different companies!!
I am going to add a report for Sonic Producer and see if that makes a difference.

Does it specify the term which it doesn't comply to?
Is your whole campaign suspended or individual ads?

Often it's the ad itself which results in a block.

I really don't think it's because you don't have pages that promote other companies

LOL Sorry for my ignorance, but these Adwords bans are so common nowadays, that it's just ridiculous.

I'm telling you now, just move on to Yahoo/Bing or different PPC networks, because you will waste countless hours and money trying to make your campaigns "perfect", which might help for a while, but sooner or later Google will just come slap everything for a random reason and ban you for life.
