Hello Everyone,

It seems that when I promote CPA offers on Google I received the lowest quality score (1 or 2/10). Its usually when I promote email offers, why is my quality score so low because I see many email offers on Google. How is everyone getting their offers up? Are people changing domains names?

Are you direct linking?

In my experience google pretty much hates direct linking anymore and since these simple email offers are usually nothing more than thin sign up pages you will get slapped really hard really fast.

As far as other people already promoting them - I would venture to say that they are either using an iframe with their own domain and some other blackhat tricks to make the google bot think there quality score is better than it actually is, or maybe they have been running that offer for a long time and just got lucky (unlikely) or maybe when they started the campaign they had a different page up and then once they were assigned a decent QS they pulled a file swap and are now redirecting straight to the offer.

No matter how you fake google they will almost always figure it out eventually.

My advice to you would be to create a landing page that is optimized to get a better QS and then try to launch the campaign.

Hmmm, so my best bet is to create custom landing page for each offer and maybe post a link to the offer page.

ideally yes if you want to get a better quality score.

what I've heard from Andy Huang on his webinar for PPC Classroom, the best strategy to promote CPA offers (especially zip/e-mail submits) is to use placement targeting.

although I started to impliment this strategy during this week - no results yet. I guess Andy would have something to say.
