Talked to an Adwords rep about affiliate marketing

The other day, I straight up asked an MS Adcenter rep if they allow affiliate marketing or direct response marketing and she had to idea what that was and had to go check...
 


This will always be the case with Internet marketing. Things change so rapidly and the Internet is a dynamic workplace with so many factors at work, it's impossible for anyone, even the companies themselves, to keep up with everything.
 
dont even bother to talk to them about your offers. There are "so called" adwords optimizers, you can say reps. They first contact you and give you all their personal info like contact number.

First they understand your offers and then try to push you to spend more. Its get annoying to a stage where they literally keep on pushing you every week. They even created keywords and ad groups for me, which i didnt wanted to test. Too broad for the offer.

Guess what, They expected me to spend $XXXX a day. I couldn't meet those numbers and one fine day, a fucking banhammer. I tried reaching my personal rep. He didnt take my calls not respond to emails so i emailed the general email box and they replied this guy is no more working on my account. Great.

Don't ever discuss your offers especially aff offers with your adwords rep. Its a fast road to banhammer
 
thank you

We just got unbanned from google ... Took months and had to hire a company to do it. All I am finding is that we can't get anything to convert other than branded terms. Nothing. We are in the software space and it is very helpful to have branded terms on google but for general advertising it is nearly useless.

A good example of that is the Google page layout algorithm where they are penalizing sites that have too many ads above the fold. Meanwhile, AdSense is emailing publishers encouraging them to ad more ads in noticeable areas, such as above the fold.

One hand doesn't know what the other is doing at Google, which is why they avoid giving out exact answers.

It's not a conflict at all. The update was for excessive ad placement. Adsense never emailed advice to add excessive amounts of ads. There is a difference between putting a few above the fold and what they algo was trying to stop.
