I'm preparing to launch Google & Microsoft campaigns for a few health/diet ClickBank items, but am trying to work through how to navigate possible (likely?) account suspensions.

I understand 'bridge' pages are against TOS, yet everyone's doing them, so I'm wondering how frequently account suspensions occur & if anyone here has experience with that.

The usual way seems to be...
Ad click --> Landing page --> hop link

I'm considering using a php script redirect so visitors (and Google) would not immediately see the hoplink unless they clicked through.

My questions are:

1. How likely is my account to be suspended & how frequently can I expect this to occur?
2. Any recommendations for farming new Google/Microsoft accounts?
3. What about new credit card, billing addresses?

Appreciation ahead of time for any advice, thanks

Branded keywords will cause your suspension, if many other affiliate spam the same ad. Don't do brand bidding.
 
Lots of issues with your setup.

Bridge pages work fine, just use a Privacy Policy link.

If you do not cloak, you will get suspended when the Google bot crawls your page and gets redirected through your link. 3 options. Cloak the lander, cloak the CTA or use a 2-step lander with your raw Clickbank link.

Even if do all that right, since you are just starting, prepare to be getting suspended 75% of the time. Could be your ad copy, your kw's, sudden budget increases, not properly warmed up, the list goes on.

Thanks for the reply. Definitely not looking forward to account suspensions! Any advice on farming new accounts? No idea how to go about that other than doing it manually myself.

One other question if you don't mind. When I google "Exipure" (clickbank product), it looks like all the top positions are affiliates & most appear to be cloaking. I've checked every few days for weeks and I see the same affiliates with the same domain names.

Does this mean that their accounts are NOT being suspended? Or that when they are suspended, they just restart using the same domain name?

A lot of them get suspended, because cloaking also gives them suspension apart form branded keywords, it is not long term thing. For short time, it might work.

Yeah I mean I don't want to increase my chances of being suspended... I can do without branded bidding/keywords in ads.
Any idea how these bigger guys farm accounts (and new credit cards, billing addresses, etc). Seems like a huge headache. But if I can figure it out I'm gonna try it.

It's a headache and you need good budget to do these things. Keep in mind that almost all of the people that do it will not reveal, because they will make competition for them. I don't do black hat stuff anyway, I prefer the hard way, which is longer and more sustainable, but more legit. People want the money fast and they burn quickly, because they can't be consistent.

Yeah I figure 99% of the real successful guys are cloaking and doing all this stuff, just won't say so. Honestly wasn't even expecting a response to my OP 'cause it might be seen as potential competition lol.

> longer and more sustainable, but more legit
Yeah I 100% agree. Just trying to get more cash flow so I can fund something legit. Want to make my own product & go full ecommerce, but it's very expensive upfront.

Can you elaborate on the three options. I'm not sure what 'cloak the CTA' means.

Does 'cloke the lander' mean google bots are sent to a compliant page while everyone else is sent my non-compliant page?

Thanks. appreciate all your help

Hmm, this guy found the secret, almost all guys uses a good cloaker. Here are few suggestion
1. Do not do brand bidding - Try misspelled
2. Warm up your account
3. Do not make changes to your budget and ad copy (Not very frequently)
4. Try some good cloaker like trafficshield, jci, etc
5.Always remove cloaking when campaign is in idle state.
6. do not open campaign on banned IP or suspicious IP's, (Try trafficshield to find IP info with blacklist info)
This method will give you some time with your campaigns.
 
you will most certainly be banned and lose your ad account. try native ads

Thank you for the tips, will check out trafficshield.
How do you recommend warming up the account? Running completely unrelated campaigns first for a few weeks?

Dealing with account ban hassle is my biggest concern. What networks should I look at if I want to check out native? Thanks
