Let's say I'm promoting a product on Clickbank using Adwords. The products homepage is productname.com - I have product-name.com, which has the following code in the index.html file: <html> <title>Product Name</title> <meta name="clickbank" content="true"><meta name="robots" content="noindex"> </head> <frameset border=0 rows="100%,*" frameborder="no" margintop=0 marginleft=0 marginright=0 marginbottom=0> <frame SRC="http://product.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=test" scrolling=auto frameborder="no" border=0 noresize> <frame topmargin="0" marginwidth=0 scrolling=no marginheight=0 frameborder="no" border=0 noresize> <body> </body> </frameset> </html> HTML: Pretty much cloaking the original site using my hoplink. I've seen a few people doing this, yet they don't seem to be getting banned. I've also read people saying this is against Adwords TOS? Does anyone here do something similar? Is there any kind of cloaking that IS ok with adwords?
I wouldn't try experimenting. I prefer making simple landing pages or normal direct linking if possible.
Most merchant hate to see that. Ironically enough I had a few affiliates framing my site CloakLink.com. There's a simple fix for merchants which makes it so that affiliates can't frame anymore, I forget what it was though (had one of my coders do it). Not sure if that's against the terms and conditions, but I doubt it's not frowned upon (yes, a double negative usage )
