b.s.
if u were one of the guys (who happens to have astonishing acc. history over there) pushing acai through "visitor experience oriented portal sites" - which are btw. crappiest lp's of all times - without even a single slap for 6 fucking months, she would even you blowjob on the phone. i dont know how but god damn sure she would find a way.
Funny thing is that at Abesteb forum, several of the "experts" there have chimed in on a thread that Google is NOT hurting affiliate sites and that there is no need to cloak links etc. This shit was happening like 5 years ago and people refuse to believe it.
They had positive earnings. So we have a whole quarter to go until they might actually feel any heat from shareholders.
Memo
For those that didn't get the memo:
We are google. We own the internet. Fuck everyone else who dares to make money.
-------------------------------------------------
Time for some regulation on this monopoly. One evil company can decide for any reason or no reason to destroy another companies revenue and be completely free of responsibility. No other business has ever acted with such impunity. Meanwhile our government sits by and does nothing.
End of rant.

You say cloak..,.but how are you sure its not the manual reviewers who slap your campaign after they review your pages and not the googlebots?
I mostly get slapped from low quality on my landing pages, while ads and keywords are fine. It's gotta to be the manual reviewers.
Google doesn't like cloaking anyway, so i don't think it is wise getting your adwords account banned.
I went up and spoke to a google rep at ad tech SF, I was shocked at how abrasive and rude they became after I mentioned that we were affiliate marketers. All I was asking for was a dedicated rep. Apparently me spending 250k+ a month meant nothing to them, talk about a power trip.
I wouldn't want the government regulating the internet...( regulating google is kinda like regulating the internet) that would be equally bad or worst.
But there must be something that can be done to make google understand that they have to stop their power trip...
I got some of my site banned for reasons i dont even know... and I wasnt even using adwords on them... i had some adsense ads with some duplicate content pages, but thats no reason to ban ? make me rank lower if you must but dont freaking ban me... after all, I am helping google get money when people click on my ads... the user doesnt care if the content is duplicate or not, he finds the ad relevant he wants to click on it, so whats the problem god damn it.
I also had some adwords campaing closed because of some stupid policies, that im sure were enforced by our friends over at the government... anyways... so fucking lame...
Man it really sucks ass that G turned into such horrible cock sucking pieces of shit.
I really hope this attitude bites them in the ass.
If Bill Mother F'in Gates cant take G down, no one can. It would take a MAJOR PR nitemare to occur for G to feel any hit...no one yet has even begun to compete with them...yahoo? msn? give me a break. Wikipedia was supposed to do something, but where are they?
Maybe facebook+twitter should start their own search engine....

yeah this was happening to me all the time with diet ads and it went on for months ... until i started running the new beta interface. what i noticed was that all these ads that were taking days to approve were showing up with "approved (not family safe)" next to them when they finally were accepted by the manual reviewer. through a bunch of trial and error i found that changing "free trial" to "risk-free trial" on my landing page allowed the ads to go through as "approved" without triggering the manual review (and not affecting conversions
). now in my case i'm 90% sure now that it was that word combination that was triggering the manual review and not the niche or product name and i've subsequently slipped about 50 ads through on multiple domains with no problems. conclusion: the G bot was flagging " free trial ", <- notice the spaces surrounding the word, and not words in ad or domain name.you might want to check for that or at least change to the new interface where you can see the ad approval process in real time and start looking for your bogey phrase/word. i find that the ad gets accepted for search straight away but takes up to half hour to be accepted for content and search partners - i imagine while the bot is crawling my site deeper. but you'll be able to monitor the progress
Yeah approval times have become a complete joke.
Not only do they take around 1 month to approve image ads for content for some people (read: affiliates), but once approved - impressions are nowhere to be seen.
It's not like I don't know what I'm doing. It used to be that my ads started receiving impressions pretty much immediately following approval.
Now I have ads that were approved 5 days ago - without even 1 impression yet. Zero. Zip.
How do I know for sure they've been approved yet? The support rep explicitly emailed me and told me they were approved and ready to show.
Google is sucking more for every day.

Yeah, I noticed something similiar. They definitly do flag pages/domains based on the appearance of specific strings.... through a bunch of trial and error i found that changing "free trial" to "risk-free trial" on my landing page allowed the ads to go through as "approved" without triggering the manual review (and not affecting conversions
