Everyone who uses adwords is my guess. Pretty ridiculous really. Just stick 'Aff.' at the end of your advertising text and they accept that.

Exactly that. It's easy to work around and the rule has been in place for a long while. If you can't stick to the pretty clear rules (no matter how daft they seem) why bitch about it?

GFX Wiz · 10-19-2004, 05:20 AM

You're acting as if there is a problem. Google's TOS very clearly states that you have to identify your ad as affiliate if you are acting as an affiliate. All their email says is you have been suspended until you make that change. They're not PayPal...you're still in business, pending slight modification.

And, in case you were wondering, having "aff" in your ad does not deter clicks

Spudstr · 10-19-2004, 05:21 AM

probably because no one goes through and reads that far into the rules.

You've never advertised on PPC engines before? This is a pretty common thing on Overture and Adwords.
