It’s Official. I can confirm that Google has landed another slap and affiliates are going to be caught in the cross hairs.
Here is what it seems they are doing.
They are currently cutting out all fake blogs and fake review sites.
Why, well all relates back to Google’s business model and that is “search”, delivering relevant results to those using their search engine.
Google’s goal is to provide valuable content to their searchers and good content relates to providing value.
If your site does not add value, there is a good chance that you will find it difficult if not impossible to promote your site using Google’s natural search and paid search platform.
There are work arounds - such as cloaking your affiliate links, however keep in mind that at the end of the day if you do not provide value you will constantly be looking over your shoulder.
I will go into more detail on this on the next post.
