Hello Mate,

I wanted to promote products from clickbank.is there anyways since affiliate link is bloacked by adwords.
i have researched and found out that,

1)i should use a content rich blog and promote it..,

My question is,can i create blog with spun articles just for make it unique content then promote it for short term.

2)or create a landing page with just 1 video,email subscribing box, TOS,contact us and sitemap pages.Will the ads got approved then?

i need this info since i have some credits to spend on adwords.Please let me know if there is any ways to promote affiliates on adwords.

Thank you..

Last question,i heard somewhere they said,adword only banned link from clickbank..is that true?

Don't think these coupons would be valid for India, as far as I know most of the $100 adwords coupons are now restricted to US & Canada. Although this depend upon coupons and they can be for any country as well.

Coming back to your question, using same credit card in multiple accounts is NOT against adwords' TOS. However, they have another policy - 'One Business, One Account'. It is only when you exceed their allowed campaign/keywords limit that opening a new account is suggested.

So you can try opening several accounts, redeem these vouchers & get the Ads running but there is always a risk that you might have to face mass suspension of accounts.

Never mind

#1 might work but we have not tried gaming Adwords system a lot using Black-hat/Grey-hat techniques, so can't comment on it. We deal in white-had adwords campaign.

#2 will certainly get you banned sooner or later

I have a couple of questions:

1) Are squeeze pages allowed on Adwords? The kind that wouldn't even play the video unless visitors put in their email address?
I'm asking this because I'm in a rather high-ticket affiliate program in the Make Money Online niche and I'm kinda eager to test it out, but all the funnel entries I'm provided with are squeeze pages to trap the email first.

2) Are campaigns in the Make-money-online niche more likely to come under review? I'm not asking this because the product I'm promoting is anything shady, but because I'm looking in Google at the ads for make-money-online keywords and pretty much all I'm seeing is some survey ads and trading. I don't see internet marketing ads at all.

What was your record daily spend on a campaign?

Does adwords allow the selling of Followers and other social media stuff like Views, Likes, Fans, etc. through adwords?

I have never used Adwords but as soon as I started my first ad it suspended it. I am selling Twitter Followers. Any help would be great. Really looking to expand my business. Have investors waiting in the wings but need to show that this can be scalable beyond organic searches.

Need help. Will PM details if needed.

NEVER MIND. FOUND THE ANSWER... GOOGLE SUCKS...

Nope. As mentioned by @picfabindia above, you will most likely face information collection related policy guidelines listed here:

You Ads will certainly come under review in this case. And if your definition of "not shady" matches with that of Adwords review time - your Ads might just run

What was your record daily spend on a campaign?

Back when I used to work as an Adwords Optimizer with an Agency, there was a client (a well known brand in our country) who chose to run the Youtube Mashhead Ads for a day. As you might know, these are the most expensive Ad format on Youtube (or the entire Google Display Network). Without quoting the exact figure, let's just say that you can easily buy a very nice car using that amount

Judging by your reaction, I think you have found the right answer

I am assuming that you had an Adwords account suspended due to policy violation and are now looking to set-up a new one? If that's the case then make sure the offer you would be promoting this time around fulfills the guidelines. Lest you will create a new adwords account using VPS/VCC but will get banned again.

 

[Deleted member 219055]

My adwords account got banned. I want to create a new one.

I used my bank account for making pre-payment when I create my previous account.

So now, when creating new account, can I use my credit card(never before used in adwords) which is linked to the same bank account which got banned? And ofcouse, the bank account name and credit card name is the same; so won't google catch it?

Secondly, can we take the help of Google certified agencies and run a campaign in their accounts? If yes, how much do they charge? And can you provide any contact addresses/ph nos. for Indian users

 

[hpv222]

Do you have any experience selling software with Adwords, any luck and advice in that direction?

Thanks

Hi,

The issue here is not your billing source, but the cause of your account suspension.

If the campaign was violating Adwords Guidelines, then you run the risk of suspension again. But if that's not the case, they you can use a new Credit Card without any problems. (or even get the old account re-instated by contacting Adwords)

Secondly, can we take the help of Google certified agencies and run a campaign in their accounts? If yes, how much do they charge? And can you provide any contact addresses/ph nos. for Indian users

The Adwords Policy Guidelines are same for both users & Google Certified Agencies, so it won't make any difference.

Yes, I have. The Advice would be as follows:

Landing Page matters: With softwares, Landing page becomes all the more important for conversions. The product has to be presented in a way which a layman can understand - yet look professional.

Mini-Conversions: It helps a lot if the software has either a free trial/free sign-up/free demo. Software buying cycles are generally long and most users like to test it out before buying.

Budget: CPC's are high in general, so make sure you have decent budget for initial testing

Display Campaigns + Remarketing: Since the sales cycle is long, re-marketing works - so make sure you have remarketing campaign set-up. Secondly, display campaign works as well unless the software is too niche specific.
