Google Adwords - New policy regarding affiliates. It's not a rumor anymore.
 

It's not a rumor anymore. I was waiting for the official announcement.

1. Implementation, January 12th.

2. One ad per affiliate and parent company sharing the same domain per search query. AdRank will continue to determine which site will be shown. (this will also stop different company departments from competiting with each other).

3. Affiliates will not have to identify their status as an affiliate. (You must manually change your ads to reflect the change, Google won't just remove the aff/affil from the ad).

4. Redirecting a landing page to another site, and framing a site will automatically cause an ad to be disapproved.

soooooooooooooooooooo
is it okay to send it to your own tour?

How many affiliates actually do pay for adwords, that send the surfer directly to a sponsor page?

I'd think that sending them to at least a relevant traffic filter or FPA would be better.

Google is just a fad anyways...

Redirecting a landing page to another site wtf does this mean? autoredirection or clicking?

Do you have a link to where it says that on Google?

Autoredirection. Like a blank landing page redirecting to an affiliate link.

thanks bro. Google is annoying with this Aff shit, on my own programs i had to put Aff because once in a while some smart ass reviewer was disapproving them again...

so what does all this mean, can one still using landing pages that have a fpa on them?

Sure. You just can't have more than one ad pointing to the same domain for the same keywords.

About fucking time.

About fucking time is right. I fucking hate that aff crap.

This is probably good news. It will drive out all the non-HTML knowledge'd idiots who pollute adwords with worthless ads.

I'm dancing in the friggin streets on this one! Muahahahaha! :banana
