Had a thought: all my videos carried the website URL "slotjunkies.com" on them. Reading the policy, I wonder if that's the problem as it is effectively using the video to advertise a gambling site.

It looks like Google may have changed their gambling policy. I just received an email from a friend with this link: https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/6018017?hl=en Nice of them to send us a warning.

They're all going. My slotjunkies account was terminated and so are other affies I have looked at. This is very odd. Saturday night, no notice, accounts that are quite normal and been around for years: it smells of a mistake or a hack IMO. I wonder if some automated routine to detect copyright...

On thing I love that is missing is the ability to see the first paragraph of the first post of a thread by mousing over the thread title. Right now, the decision on viewing a thread has to be made entirely on the thread title and (on any forum) often it's not that helpful.

New site looks really good Andy :)

The best way to do it is to use the "Report A Spam Result" via WMT: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport?hl=en

I looked into this several years ago and the margins were small (5-10%) plus you only got credit for the first customer purchase. Any subseqquent purchases were not commissionable. I would imagine everyone has an Amazn account now anyway. Forex / Binary doesn't interest me but it might be a...

Just quickly on the subject of black-hat: until Panda and Penguin you are spot on but those two, along with Hummingbird's semantic algorithms, seem to be spotting the rubbish a lot sooner than before. Spam and black-hat will still exist but will IMO increasingly yield short-term results and get...

My take is that affiliates are not competing against the casinos: we work for them (or if you prefer, with them). They offer us a payment to find them players and we are simply one of many marketing channels, so I don't really see this as an issue at all. They are quite within their rights to...

I think you must have been allocated the one with a chocolate addiction. The rest of the flock are touching down next week :p

You can see why it will offend but the intention is clearly to deride the characters, not glorify them. It's both misguided and insensitive and they ought to be embarrassed but "rogue" intimates the program can't be trusted and that's not the case here IMO. They need to pull this asap though...

I think another thing that is worth adding is that changes shouldn't be retroactively applied to players already sent. Most savvy affiliates appreciate that changes are necessary from time to time and the economic climate means both sides might have to make sacrifices but that should be "going...

One thing worth remembering - with any program that stops paying on quota failure - is that if you ever sell your site you should sell the affiliate account with it otherwise it only has a 3-month (in this case) life span. Also, bear in mind if you lose your traffic source your revenue gets cut...

Agreed. You can't price a domain. When buying (in this industry) you typically look at things like how easy is it to rank the extension, how long has it been indexed in Google, does it have keywords/does it look spammy, has it been parked for any length of time on a domain parking site (that's...
