]]> Comment on Google Calls Time on Affiliates Using Redirect Display URLs by Matthew Wood http://www.affiliatecitizen.com/display-url-adwords/#comment-122 Matthew Wood Thu, 20 Mar 2008 17:03:37 +0000 http://www.affiliatecitizen.com/display-url-adwords/#comment-122 Good spot! This was always frowned upon by Google, it was 50/50 if you got away with it depending on the Google rep moderating your ad or if you got spidered. This will affect the more creative affiliates out there as you say, but then if your business was built around trying to break the rules or bend them in this instance then perhaps its their own short sightedness. Long overdue IMO too as it gives AM a bad name. Good spot!

We've contaced a few, Commission Junmction, Affiliate Windows and Affiliate Future and to be honest I'm a bit confused. I'd love the opportunity to talk to you about what's good and what's bad with each scheme, and perhaps you can give me an insight into what would work for all the affiliates out there. Let me know your thoughts. Best regards, Mike Hi Dave,
