Affiliates? Personally, I like the super affiliates and loathe the affiliate recruiters. It is still possible to be a good and effective affiliate – but you need to be selling something that doesn’t damage the buyer.

In my experience on the AdWords Help Forum, too many “affiliates” sell “information products” that turn out to be PDFs telling users how to make money selling information products. I have little patience or empathy for the problems of those “affiliates”, and my main suggestion to them is “find something that helps someone, rather than rips them off”. I’m not fond of Ponzi and near-Ponzi schemes. YMMV.

Even if I knew a way to make those work, I wouldn’t share it. But it is definitely possible to recover legitimate accounts for real products and services that get accidentally caught in the cross fire. However, with the downgrading of customer service at Google, you’ll probably need someone with contacts at Google to resolve the issues.

1.) Landing pages are out for good, they have been shutting down anyone with a bridge or landing page.

2.) If you do get shut down, there is little hope of geting back on. Even Perry Marshall is clueless on what to do.

I think the best thing to do now is just, migrate towards Bing and Yahoo for now, untill this whole Google slap smackdown blows over, just IMO.
