Can i use thirsty affiliates to cloak my affiliate link on my blog, and run it on google ads? Will google consider this as circumvention or anything else?

If I remember correctly, the way ads worked is this way or another they check the final url (which you’ll have to paste this way or another)

if I’m wrong, yes you can
At first, check if there’s any errors during the campaign process

if you get to submit your ad for review so you probably can set a burner account and run ads on it

I mean they review ads this way or another so an experienced answer might help but you might successfully slip through

I think you should try creating a redirect page as non optimal as it sounds it’s still better than having another landing page with a button

what about grabbing the html and css and create the same landing page of your offer that will redirect to your affiliate link as soon as they click anywhere? Still one step too much but it could work for some

forgot to mention, I’ve successfully ran a hostgator affiliate link test months ago but they emailed me regards breaking their terms so I removed it but basically it works.

love the idea using TA redirection cloakers so let us know if there’s success boss

i am also thinking of another cool trick. which might result in less clicks but I believe its completely safe.

so instead of directing them to vendor through my affiliate link, i will put link of one of my internal pages on my website only. For eg. on the page which ill be running ads on. on that page there will be a cta 'grab thiss offer now' and when they click, it will open one more page on my website. so no ccloaking, no affiliate links on the page which i am running ads on. the page which they will be redirected to will contain affiliate links.

i know its one more extra page.

what do you think?

It ain’t a bad idea to try I mean you could actually (for example) run an ad on a X product review post on your vendor’s related keywords

I’ve written a rich HostGator review so basically I’m paying for traffic for the internal page (the review post) which has quite a few links (on keywords/buttons/images)

if that’s what you meant thinking about it on the spot could actually be the way to go it’s good both for your page rank (in some way) and possible conversions

I will come back here eventually since your post have motivated me quite a lot to get back into affiliate marketing

I guess it is possible

and there’s something else I’m thinking about and I hope that it works in case the review process isn’t manual or too lazy

I’m talking about redirections like in link shortening services or websites that abuse ads for maximum profit like clicking a link that redirects you to a temporary page with a timer that then redirects to the original link or opens up a clickable button as soon as the countdown ends

so in case they check it by url requests you can bypass their check since your page sends a request only after X amount of seconds or an optional button for the redirection that would be gold

let’s say yourwebsite.com/recommends/bhw redirects into a temporary page for 5 seconds that automatically redirects to your desired link once again

but no proof yet since I haven’t tested it myself yet but I’m sure that your idea could do the trick

I’m telling you once again also, depending on your offer and network, some ads might pass

I’ll say it again, a hostgator affiliate link from impactradius was running successfully with no issues so I’d say open a new gmail account and set a test budget in case you worry about your main account brother

thanks for your input bro,

i can never understand google fully, i am researching on clickbank health niche product, everywhere i have seen people talking how unfriendly google is when it comes pure or thin affiliates, BUT i am seeing the ads run not even on a proper domain. on a subdomain. ranking no.1 on google ad results

and other pages were also similar. no long form content. just mentioned benefits, guarantee, pricing etc. thats it. and they are successfully running ads.

whereas here i am trying to understand and research from last few days google's take on affiliates. too concerned i guess. i should take the plunge.
