Could This Beat the Slap?

I just had a thought and would appreciate some of the more experienced members their opinions on this idea.

Since the last google slap my main cash cow has been sent to the leper colony with a quality score of 1 (with landing page relevance being the main factor).

Since then I have tried various things to improve my landing page QS smaller ad groups, different ads for each, dynamical keyword insertion on the landing page itself, removed adsense ad from page etc... All to no effect it seems this site has the mark of Cane upon it (and it really cheeses me off to still see those's ClickCompare + 5Best.com sites sill being there).

Anyway I was thinking if I set up a My Client Center account and set this domain up as a new sub account would I at least get a fresh start or incur more of the wrath of Google?

Cheers.

Honestly, I don't think it would make a difference one way or another. You'd still have the same history; you're not exactly starting over.

This setup will not work.

How to fix your cash cow:

1)The best approach (in my experience, only works if you have big enough spending history at least 30k/month): call them (if you have a rep) if not, find a way to call them and ask for "manual review" of your site. They can lift the ban as quickly as 3 days, new ads for this domain will go live almost instantaneous, this domain will not be messed with again.

2) Second approach: Try to understand why were you slapped in a first place? Address those issues and set up the same site on a different domain.

make sure your site doesn't look like an affiliate site, comparison site etc...

Good luck!

Thanks for the response guys, chinara that link opened my eyes a bit. I guess my site is black balled as a Arbitrage site.

Which for all the quality info on my site, making money is the main purpose for it being there, although its nothing like a crappy MFA site.

I thought Arbitrage was just frowned upon I guess its a serious no no (but why are those click compare sites still up!)

Cheers,

talk to a rep - they'll pretty much tell you (maybe in tone of voice more than what they say) if they like your business model or not.

try calling in a few times - you'll get a different rep each time.

be wary however, they are absolutely tracking each of your calls, what you say, as well as how you treat the reps etc so they may become defensive and less supportive if you exceed their parameters for patience.

start by asking for a manual review if at all possible.

As with everything - it depends. I drive traffic to one of my sites with AdWords, in season, and that site has AdSense on it, and I've never had a problem.

But I keep the AdSense to one ad block and one link unit, and there's plenty of content. Keep the percentage of content to other stuff (and that includes footers, headers, logos, navigation - everything that *isn't* good, unique content) high.

unique content > ad blocks + navigation + syndicated or duplicate content = you're probably ok.

If it's the opposite - you're probably not.
