Adwords + Squeese page + clickbank - allowed?

[JamesC]

I`m still bit confused. can i use this kind of system? Or google wants "real" websites on adwords? The general rule is that you can use Adwords to promote any website as long as the listed URL is the actual URL you are promoting. Eg. http://someURL.com with your click-to link being actually http://someURL.com/super/awes/ome/index.php As long as it's not violating TOS, why not? I think if it's just a one page sales page type thing with just a link going to the clickbank site, or a one page review of just the one product and then a link going to just that product, google does not like this. A real website with lots of page/reviews etc are ok. if you are selling your own product then it's fine, but it still needs contact, T&C's etc pages. Yes you can use Adwords to promote a real webpage that you own and that webpage can then promote affiliate products. It is my understanding that it does not break the TOS. However Google will give your landing page a "quality score" based on a number of factors. If promoting an affiliate site you will be pretty much guaranteed to pick up a lower quality score. Google see sending visitors directly to the purchase page as far more relevant. Basically Google looks at "what benefit does your page offer the visitor, over going directly to the vendor page?". A general squeeze page will probably have little additional benefit and you will need to work harder to get your quality score up. Quality score now factors into the CPC so the lower the quality score the more you have to pay for your ads. In this way the quality score will effectively "moderate" your landing page buy making low quality pages unprofitable. Best of luck You can do this but google will give you a very low quality score which means your cost per click will be very high. A better way is to set up a squeeze page, collect people's emails and then try and sell affiliate products to them. Quote: Quote: You can, but probably it won't get accepted. Google values content. They see squeeze page as spam page. so my own opt in page with reviews is not good?
