However, with costs increasing and where affiliate ads are concerned it isn't workable, I spend so much of my time sorting out the mess.<br /><br />I play by the rules and get ads pulled for the most minor (or no valid) reason, others blatantly flaunt them and seem to stay forever and a day.<br /><br />By the way I love the logo on the ukoffer site, did you use logo creation software to create it, if so which?

I play by the rules and get ads pulled for the most minor (or no valid) reason, others blatantly flaunt them and seem to stay forever and a day.

By the way I love the logo on the ukoffer site, did you use logo creation software to create it, if so which?

I monitored some ads not so long ago breaking rules. They seemed to regularly disappear and then re-appear slightly differently. I assumed they were being disabled by google for the violation and then the advertiser was just changing something to get them re-activated.<br /><br />It's frustrating. At the moment it seems if you break the rules you will profit. Google need to crack down on it.<br /><br />BTW Kieron, How has the latest quality score stuff affected you? I was expecting a blog post about it :) Or haven't you really noticed much difference? Stuff like this has been going on for ages. I monitored some ads not so long ago breaking rules.

It’s frustrating. At the moment it seems if you break the rules you will profit. Google need to crack down on it.

There definitely needs to be consistency with rules. It is sad that some are allowed to break the rules while others have ads and/or accounts suspended.

I'm also part of the premium program, but you don't need to be to get in the blue bar. As long as your ad has a good CTR and a competitive CPC then anyone can get there.
