    I doubt many pay the $10 per click...

    I would assume that if somebody were paying $10 per click they would have to be marketing something that returned them at least $100 per commission.

    People are paying extra because they cannot be bothered to improve their landing pages!

    I'm wondering though whether you can give some tips for improving landing pages?

    I had some site selling a certain product, it got slapped, had great QS for several months,
    website had original content written by me about the product, and had all that privacy policy stuff...

    yet eventually I got slapped, and it happened for some more of my websites, so I don't see right now how could this be about "being bothered" to improve your landing pages, I see it right now like some unknown/unexpected google snap, that I have no clue how to deal with.... unless you can offer me some concrete landing page improvement tips, that would fit the nature of my website (which is affiliate, and not some business)...?

    I'm so tired of these google slaps. I'm going to take some time away from google to see if I can get away from the network entirely. I can easily spend $1k+ a week if I want and they lost it because they won't even talk to me about what's wrong. Screw them.

    Yes I can give you landing page tips. I can also have a look at your adwords account to see if you are making any obvious mistakes. Please PM your URL and adwords client ID number.

    10$ a click is insane. What were you promoting?
