New Google Policies

[jvcreativity]

I don't see too many people talking about this, but this is very important to all of us right now.

Google has implemented a new policy that is going to seriously affect affiliate marketers. If you haven't already heard, hope this helps.

Google adwords is pulling down ads that no longer conform to their new - OUT OF NOWHERE - policies due to low QS.
There will be no more 'Bridge Pages', Affiliates who provide limited value by being a bridge page with the intent of solely driving traffic to another site or who are framing an affiliate site
They are also cracking down on Testimonials, who show false celebrity endorsements.

I am going to copy and paste from another forum for the time being with more of the information that you will all need to know, learn and have to abide by if we are to go forward.

The following is a letter that google sent to another affiliate marketer.

Hello,

It has come to our attention that you have submitted several ads for landing pages considered to be of a poor quality per our Landing Page and Site Quality Guidelines. Please remove any ads and landing pages in your account that may be in violation of these guidelines, and do not create new ads that are in violation. If you need more information about our Landing Page and Site Quality guidelines, please visit adwords.google(DOT)com/support/aw...46675&hl=en_US

This email serves as a final warning. Any additional discovery of ads in violation of these guidelines will immediately disqualify you from participating in the AdWords program.

As noted in our Terms and Conditions, Google reserves the right to terminate advertisements for any reason. To view our Terms and Conditions, please visit adwords.googleDOT)com/select/tsandcsfinder

We appreciate your cooperation.

Not being an adwords expert myself, you'l not be surprised that I have not come across any of these methods

.... But framing pages and false testimonials sounds a little iffy to me. Or is it whiffy?
