Google Going On A Slapping Spree On CPA Campaigns
I mentioned in one of my post that FTC is cracking hard on flogs and this time round, Google and Yahoo have taken strict measures as well. This is probably not the latest news but worth mentioning it again in case any newbies might fall into this trap again. A lot of Adwords accounts are closed for good for this reason. That means it’s never EVER going to get re-instated again. This is some serious banning.
Items that you should try to stay away for the moment to keep your Adwords account safe, is those recurring billing products, like those Acai free trials and other health related products. The “Google Kits” is a BIG “no-no”. Looks like Google is taking serious measures to protect their reputation and punishing those profiting from its trademark. Anything that has got Google’s trademark in the products are no longer acceptable. Promotion of products using Google’s brand trust tends to mislead the consumers and Google is not going to be involved in the scam game for sure.
So, before you decided to promote an item, check the terms and conditions properly and make sure it complies with Google Adwords guidelines before getting the Google Slap or worse, an Adwords account closed for good. You’re in their playground so play by their rules. No way to go around that!
Here is a brief video explaining Google Slap for newbies
Jim Lillig – President Of Offeratti.com called…
It’s an usual day and about to head off for lunch when the phone rang. I answered and to my surprise, Jim Lillig, President of Offeratti.com just called me. Offeratti.com is a relatively new network in the CPA industry but the people running the network has got full of experience in the internet marketing arena. As for Jim Lillig, he does both brick-and-mortar businesses but also created a few other high traffic internet businesses. He has got so much energy and passion when we chatted and the call lasted over an hour! Quick and a pretty straight-forward guy, he explained the strict criteria that publishers have to meet but at the same time, very keen on helping honest new comers. Offeratti has got a zero-tolerance policy against fraud and that makes me feel comfortable that this is not another network flying under the radar. What’s most important to me in my opinion is the personal touch of giving affiliates a call. Jim has taken the good old flavor of traditional businesses to the internet. Nothing beats a call. The internet has changed the social bonding of businesses today as we sit behind the screen and typing “to and fro” emails. Jim doesn’t believe in that and neither do I.
The call was about 1 pm Thailand time and that’s about 1 am for Jim! Does this guy ever sleeps? Despite the late hours over at his end, he still shows so much enthusiasm and dedication towards his affiliate business. Getting a call from him is really a new breath of fresh air in the marketing world for me. Who gets a call these days, from the President personally and chatted for an hour?
One simple call and yet it has such a great impact for both the affiliates and the network. Not only does he try to help new affiliates, he also provides tools, tips and that moral boost that all of us need from time to time.
All I can say is Offeratti.com is definitely different from other networks. A true “win-win” network and working hard for all new affiliates to bring you the best offers.This is one network you wouldn’t want to miss out on.
Jim Lillig is a big name in the internet marketing world. Read more about Jim’s accomplishment over at his blog.
