Promoting Wealthy Affiliate with Google - Caution

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Someone is definitely out to hurt people that promote Wealthy Affiliate. Wayne Wallace just had his account shut down and suspended, now I'm not sure if he had videos on youtube or posts on Google+ promoting Wealthy Affiliate, but I'm guessing he did.

Over the past several weeks I've seen a several people post about getting their accounts suspended and they all either had Wealthy Affiliate review type videos or posts, or had been directly promoting WA.

Several of my videos all got flagged and had age restrictions applied to them after a manual review. If you check most videos on Youtube that rank for Wealthy Affiliate related terms you'll see they all have age restrictions in place.

I Know a few members have been making some post on G+ sharing Wealthy Affiliate posts, only to get their accounts shut down.

Until this is addressed I would personally avoid promoting Wealthy Affiliate directly via Youtube or G+, and when I say directly I mean try not to use the name Wealthy Affiliate, because if you do these people will be able to search and find your content.

Who and Why, I don't have a clue, but many people including Kyle have ripped scammy programs like Empower Network apart and for good reason, but perhaps some people from these other networks have decided to try get some revenge. Going after people who promote WA would hurt the WA community.

Please note that I'm not saying it's related to EN, because it could be anyone, many members who follow bootcamp etc, reveal scams etc in their review posts.

If you go to Google Plus and do a search for "my.wealthyaffiliate.com", change the option to "most recent", you should see that Nov 13th is the latest Wealthy Affiliate affiliate link.


Now I'm not 100% sure how the search works with G+ but that tells me that anything you post with the URL my.wealthyaffiliate.com is being removed.
