So I have been doing some research in regards to the whole google slaps and google hating us affiliate marketers.
Some of you guys might be knowing that I am about to launch an investigative affiliate marketing site which should change a lot of things in the AM world.
Anyways I got few of my writers to make few phone calls and do some inside digging about the whole situations.
So they called up Big G and few other agency who work closely with Big G and got few things out from them.
1) Google is trying to give its user the best user experience and a lot of Affiliate page is not providing them any value.
2) There is a lot of BS content on most of the sites and LP which made up just to make money by the affiliates.
3) Though google likes the money they are and were making but they know it won't go forever if they continue letting some of the stupid ads and products being sold through PPC. A lot of users are being scammed and blaming Big G for the rebills. In fact a Big G rep said that they are getting hundreds of calls per day from consumers blaming them for the scams.
4) Not everyone can become a successful business person in the world as there will be no one left to work for others and do the "dirty jobs". It is very simple only 1% of businesses do survive over a 5 year period and the same rule applies to the AM business.
5) A lot of times same products are marketed with different url or using review page. Big G rep believes that they needed to kick out a lot of them as Bing has been banning a lot of its users who are not following the terms and conditions and they have to do the same to keep up (again user experience.... and if users don't get it from Big G they will go to Bing or Yahoo).
6) Another media agency rep stated that Big G wants to see newer products which are actually competition against each other. They want to see "real businesses" and small business coming into the game which offers diversity and more choices not more affiliates. He also stated that the PPC prices are going higher everyday for a lot main stream keywords and soon it can not go any higher as there won't be great returns for businesses involved. (affiliates are being blamed for higher bids due to new players coming on board everyday and bidding like crazy).
7) They are also looking at "branding" and offers which are of real value.
In fact one of the industry specialist believes that if you want to last long , want to make money for longer periods and be known for what you do. Get a proper product out there and build your brand.
A recent survey showed that internet marketers are quickly getting badged as scammers and spammers. Do we really want to be known as that? In fact we were ranked lower in trustworthiness when compared to telemarketers.
I believe we can change all this and more if we change our game a bit.
