    Adwords to Ban Affiliate CPA Free Trial/Rebill Offers and Fake Testimonials

    JulieO, the recent update to the adwords guidelines literally says that they will assign a low QS to "Affiliate sites that the primary purpose of which is to drive traffic to another site with a different domain". Although the rumors are that its just a crackdown on the nastier CPA sites, the...

    Google crackdown on Affiliates..Now what?

    Thanks Linda. (What other forums are you following with this news?) Someone has now posted on page 8 of the webmasterworld thread an update to Google's LP quality guidelines which now says: Are there any types of website that merit low landing page quality scores? - AdWords Help Affiliate...

    Google crackdown on Affiliates..Now what?

    OK here's some new info I found. Apparently on Sept 25 Google sent out an email to many folks with sites with affiliate links warning them of low quality and reducing their QS to 1/10. This was NOT neccesarily just to those running rebill-type things, apparently many types of niches were...

    Google crackdown on Affiliates..Now what?

    OK, right now in October 2009 something is definitely up with Adwords and affiliates. Go to the Adwords Help Forum and take note of the posts in the "Can't see my Ad" forum. People are complaining about their campaigns not running, and the "Adwords Professionals" zealots are seemingly aglee...

    Trying to define "CPA"

    Well, maybe it would be closer to say "CPA has become to mean mostly about offers" .. which by extension, leans toward lead generation. Another thing I noticed in the Venus & Mars article... http://www.dmconfidential.com/blogs/column/Digital_Thoughts/2187/ ...do the folks in this who sell...

    Trying to define "CPA"

    Thanks Linda. I had been wondering about the definition of CPA for a while because as Rae mentions in her Sticky article above, it can be "all encompassing". It would be nice if people made the distinctions by using terms like "CPL" and "CPS" but nobody uses those. CPA is what has stuck...

    Trying to define "CPA"

    Yes, we know that acronym is "cost per action" and technically all of the commissions are based on the web surfer taking some kind of action. But what does CPA really mean? Has it come to denote the sector of this business which is based more on things like email/zip submit offers...

    (Newbie) Which offers/landing pages for automotive content site?

    Thanks Linda, that's a lot to digest. I guess my problem is that I'm still trying to get over that "first campaign" hump. I've been going through your blog,and the the 1/25/08 entry was helpful. I guess w JC Whitney, I need to go even deeper into a niche than just "auto parts"... I...

    (Newbie) Which offers/landing pages for automotive content site?

    Linda, thanks! Yes, I was thinking about PPC (adwords/adcenter/ysm) to get traffic to the landing pages. I guess the trouble with the landing page approach with JCW might be that each page would either be all about one product, or a mini catalog page with multi products? I understand...

    (Newbie) Which offers/landing pages for automotive content site?

    Hello! I'm still new at this, and yet to put up my first offer/landing-page/campaign. I've taken a bunch of content I've written over the years and assembled it into an automotive-related website (Detroit history, muscle cars, Nascar/Sportscar racing etc). Now I would like to hang some...
