I have an affiliate campaign in Adwords that has been running for over a year. Last week, my account basically went to 0 volume due to a QS hit. I have been spending about $20 a day on a bunch of longtail terms at $0.10 cpc. Yesterday, I spent $0.10!

CTR has been excellent at around 5-10%. It's a bunch of very targeted ads and pages with affiliate links in them. There are product pictures but little content, no sitemap, no contact us page, and no privacy policy page.

Should I add a sitemap, contact us, and privacy policy page? What else should I do to get my QS back up?

In the meantime, I am going to buy a new domain and move everything over to see if I can make it come back.

The message I am getting with each keyword is:

To be honest you've probably been slapped and you need to start all over again with a new domain. This time make sure your content is no too thin - Google is cracking down a lot lately on 'thin' affiliate sites

Take it to the next level of analysis...

You got caught. Over SEO, perphaps, etc. These things do take time but the Google machine is working through it. With multi-millions of pages to observe it does take time...and your time has come. Even if you get a new domain should you run it the same way you are "already caught" as they have "look feel" in their algo.

Try something different. Might keep you in the game.

I've posted about the same problem and i'm just trying to keep the existing website. I'm hoping that with the unique content and other modifications etc, that my QS will go up for the keywords.

Is that possible or is a new domain the way to go, with a new approach?
