My Affiliate Review Site Got Slapped

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by kinitex, Jun 11, 2009.

    Quality score on all my keywords went from average 8/10 down to 1/10. I registered a new domain and that worked for about a week, until I was slapped again last night.

    This is an affiliate site with many pages, and lots of content. It has been running on google for close to a year with no quality score issues until now.

    I was reading somewhere that google doesn't like affiliate sites. If that's the case, then what are my options here?

    Does you Ad Text, Ad Title, Landing Pages, etc contain the keywords you are targetting?

    For the most part yes. It really didn't matter what my ad said though, aslong as it had that same display and destination url, it was 1/10 quality score.

    Get a new domain and host it on a different IP should do the trick.

    Yes of course I hide my links.

    I will try buying another new domain for it and throw it on a different host and see how long before it gets slapped again.

    same happen to me too. seems like the adwords remember the domain name. I haven't worked out a decent solution for it yet tell me if you found one.
