This summer, Google rolled out information in its Support section about a brand new update.
They wrote down the following statement:
«In August, the Google Ads Restricted ad formats and features policy will be updated to reflect a new requirement for using click tracker services. Starting the week of August 28th, advertiser accounts using click trackers for the first time will only be allowed to use certified click trackers in the Tracking Template feature or their ads may be disapproved. For the time being, advertisers who have been using click trackers prior to August 28th can continue to use the Tracking Template feature without restrictions.
Click tracker service providers may apply for certification for their click trackers. Please refer to this website for certification guidelines before applying. Some click tracker service providers that meet the certification guidelines have been auto-certified. Here is the list of these click trackers. All click tracker providers who complete certification will be added to this list.»
The message made a number of people in the affiliate marketing community panic and worried about the future of using tracking software for their affiliate marketing campaigns. They're asking questions like, "Is Google actually going to start controlling click trackers?" and "What are we going to do about tracking campaigns in those kind of gray-area niches?"
But don't worry, let's try to understand it better and find a solution.
But now, Google is being more transparent about the whole tracking thing. They've added two sections in the application for tracker approval and certification:
Basically, the company allows redirects to be legal, but only if they are used with registered/ licensed/ certified trackers.
We suggest using the agency accounts we offer to purchase your traffic from Google. This way, you can easily add cryptocurrency to your account and you won't need to pay VAT. This is completely legal, and it will help you save more money and run your campaigns with more convenience.
For those dealing with grayhat niches, you can choose any click tracker, but you'll need to use a cloaking software. This tool lets you show the desired page without a redirect. The cloaker can also sort out real users from bots and platform moderators.
This means you can use the cloaker to guide moderators to a legitimate page, compliant with Google's rules and offering a legal product. Meanwhile, real users can be directed to a grayhat page. All the tracking data is kept intact, and all of this happens without redirects.
So, if you're using a cloaker, the new Google update won't have much impact on your affiliate marketing workflow.
Our service also saves you money and time by helping you legally avoid VAT and offering an easy way to add funds with low commissions.
We are also available to offer guidance in selecting the appropriate set of tools to assist you in launching ad campaigns on Google under the new update. If you want more info to help you determine the most suitable tools currently compatible with Google for your specific objectives, and also learn how you can run grayhat campaigns, feel free to reach out to our manager.
Switching to a reliable solution like a cloackers or agency accounts from YeezyPay is all you need to keep launching almost any Google advertising campaign effectively and with fewer chances of being banned.

What does Google really need?
Google, just like any advertising network, isn't a fan of redirects. Before, the company had a less-spoken about list of trackers which were allowed to make redirects and pass their checks. If you were using a tracking service that wasn’t on their list, it was difficult to pass moderation by setting a redirect.But now, Google is being more transparent about the whole tracking thing. They've added two sections in the application for tracker approval and certification:
- Provide tracking domains.
- Provide your parameters for the redirect.
Basically, the company allows redirects to be legal, but only if they are used with registered/ licensed/ certified trackers.
How will the traffic launch process change?
For those who work with whitehat niches, there will be no significant changes. Simply, if you want to use redirects, you need to work with one of the Google-certified trackers, of which there are already quite a few.We suggest using the agency accounts we offer to purchase your traffic from Google. This way, you can easily add cryptocurrency to your account and you won't need to pay VAT. This is completely legal, and it will help you save more money and run your campaigns with more convenience.

So, if you're using a cloaker, the new Google update won't have much impact on your affiliate marketing workflow.
