Being ignorant, I simply improved the art work of the Landing page and directed to a new URL and voila, the account was up and running again and making me $.

Well, after another round of this, being dropped to quality score of 1, improving page, reposting, I was eventually given a final warning that I would be banned on next infraction. So, I stopped all my campaigns. Now I'm obviously really nervous about running any type of affiliate offers through Google in any manner since I know once you're banned you're screwed.

I'd like to promote some CJ stuff, but my question is how to do so without being banned by Google at this point? Obviously CJ's affiliate links look nothing like www(.)product.com, so you can't exactly direct traffic without a landing page. And even then, I'm real skeptical at this point of doing anything with PPC and affiliate marketing since I'm so close to being banned. How do all you guys making big $$ with PPC on CJ overcome this problem?

I appreciate anybody who takes their time to write. Google Adwords has treated me very well over the years (with direct marketing of a business I previously owned, etc.) and I feel like I'm missing out by sitting on my hands right now with it. Thanks!
