I can not see their logic behind this. Is it to protect the end user? Surely, the potential customer can make up their own mind if they want to click the clickbank or any other direct ad.
This is not just a loss of revenue for them but for all the adsense marketeers out there. Big G has gone mad!

Best way around this is to create a website and right a review about the product and link to it then. Havnt had a problem doing it this way, just requires a bit more work to begin with

Google believes affiliates are over-abundant and degrade the quality of the web-in north america anyway. Why should there be hundreds of people promoting a product when the owner(s) can advertise the product themselves. Think about it-how much duplicate content is floating around the web.
The gravy train is over boys. Find a solid niche and create Your own product. Write your own content or outsource it to quality writers. It sounds like work but hey-it still beats sitting in rush hour traffic! My 2 copper coins..

I used to spend $30,000 a Month on Google Adwords. USED TO.
Got tired of all the hoops that I had to jump through to get my ads to show and all of their quality score BS. I haven't given them a penny in over 4 years now.
Affiliates is what made Google the company that it is today. Now we are all being discarded. Google will one day realize that their attitudes towards affiliates was a big mistake. By then, it will be too late for them because us Affiliates have found other ways to spend our advertising dollars.

This must be a 'new' google slap thing going on. I had one of my accounts for 3 years and just tried direct linking last month. Sure enough, they permanently suspended my account. WOW!
On to the next thing....

their differential from other ppc programs is their relevance and quality content to be show just like the normal search engine. if im not wrong, since 2006 they are being strict about the relevance and quality of content inside your landing page. they also dont like fake hype review websites.

Direct linking sucks. As clade mentioned above you should use the adwords click to send your visitor to a review article. Also I would encourage you to use some email capture via Aweber.
Think about it: Once you have their email address you can email them again and again about your site and get some value from your adwords budget.

getting approved is not hard by any standard. To comply with DMCA and Google
policy you jsut need relevant and transparent information regarding your promotions.
URL your posting need to comply with linking policy such as. blahblah.com can redirect
to an affiliate page however it cannot be direct affiliate page. I have a squeeze page
im promoting on adwords, only the page had policy, disclaimer, terms. Has trasnparent
info about the product and how the person on ther website will be involved with the product.
Its not hard to figure out, basically they want more transparency to a product.
