Is Google At War With Affiliate Marketing

Is Google At War With Affiliate Marketing?

I seem to be at war with google at the moment, My google ads were suspended (despite using the same ads for over one year) because the ads contain circumventing which they are not.

Circumventing - to find an unusual way around something that hides its true purpose and is not transparent about its actions.

I telephoned google and on further questioning of the google representative, I asked them to identify the domain in question and was informed that it wasn’t as easy as that, I replied if your customers are in violation of any ads you must be able to identify why they are in violation since that is what you are telling your customers through email, although in my case I was speaking to a representative in India.

When you telephone the google helpline you normally get through to a woman, these women are based in the philippines and are only a front desk operation, they book you in to speak to a google specialist who is normally a google certified online certificated specialist that anyone can obtain and are normally male and based in India.

Both the operatives in the Philippines and India are not directly employed by google because the services are outsourced to other countries.

I have being conducting research by reading articles/blogs in Wealthy Affiliate and other news forums online who have mentioned that since the middle of September 2023 the traffic to their websites has decreased DRAMATICALLY, I corresponded with some of the article writers in various forums who identified that they ALL have affiliate links contained in their websites.

I also read that google AND Bing, seem to be against affiliate links being used in websites, since when!?

Affiliate links are good for business and internet traffic, why is Google At War With Affiliate Marketing?

What has been your experience regarding google, otherwise known as go-ogle because they like to look at and store your data.

Watch here, a link on YOUTUBE of a series that used to be on UK television in the 70’s titled The Prisoner:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhveNJZnfx4 which suggests that google just want your data, back then before the days of the internet we didn't understand what the series was about, fast forward to the year 2023, and everything that has happened in the series "The Prisoner" is actually coming true.

So, if your ads have been suspended and/or your internet traffic has decreased on your website, the reason is that affiliate links seem to be taking a bashing at the moment from google.

What has been your experience with google?
