New to Google ads & affiliates

[Ezymoney]

I was trying to setup an account with google, and I had an affiliate to advertise but the name of the item is a google named item . When I went to put the hop link in the ad that clickbank gave me google won't let me use it because it is against the guidelines. What other link do I use to advertise this item? Any help would be highly welcomed. Thanks

Hello Ezymoney,

Based on what you've said, you are using the 'Google Cash' method to promote products as an affiliate.

While you can make money this way (and many people do) you will be much better off endorsing products that you promote via your own site. That enables you to collect names and email addresses and build a list.

When you do that, you can also use your landing page URL as the link in your Google Adword campaign for that product, and Google will approve that link.

Two birds killed with one stone ... AND better potential earnings.

Cheers,
Rosalind
