		<description>Yeah I had to laugh about the way you felt after the slap, I would call mine Depression.        Still NOT over it

I lost a $300 to 500 $ a day campaign (its still not back for me)
Google have filtered my whole site in fact I had 2 sites that Just Dropped off the world,10 articles per site, Privacy disclosure, contact, Incoming Blog posts out going links to top site s in the niche, SEO Bomb proof still get Q S 1?

 I have lost 2 accounts with Google and I don&#039;t want to lose another.

I could Go On I have lots to say and Have learn t heaps

 In short this is the main Problem Its not the content although Google expect to see certain things, its where your site is pointing to (think about it if 1000 affiliates are pointing to the same weight loss Sales Page) Google Basically Is saying that its spamming their network and in the Long run they are right

So you need to Take a name  and email and work them from a list  or go article marketing which can stack up $$$ for you and it takes time, There are no easy solutions at the Moment.

I think I have a slap proof site Now but its harder to get the sales as you have to be 1-2  Page&#039;s further from the sales page My split testing says that the Hop Rate (amount of people that actually make it thru to the sales page on the vendor site ) drops from 50% down to 25% and so do you sales which is the difference between profit and loss!

Don&#039;t Give in Its gotten easier in terms of competition as there is less its a matter of finding a way back in I am running a campaign on Google at the moment and getting 300 + ad clicks a day at and average cost of 6 US cents a click.

So there is traffic on the Google network for your site Just make sure you have a testing account or two.

Google also don&#039;t seem to track credit cards So don&#039;t be paranoid about setting multiple accounts up off the the one credit Card...

Oh by the Way Google has the Best Buying traffic End of story Ive split tested and measured it over 10 ad networks

		<description>Hi Logan, 

I had a slap on my site and it was back in 20 days and now ranking #3 for the primary keyphrase. I still believe on the linking theory that makes all the difference.</description>

		<description>Thanks Jason.  I&#039;m kind of bored with it already, but I get tired of themes too quickly.  Creating a sales funnel definitely seems like a good idea.  What I know is working for some others is to get users to enter email addresses first and create a list.  Not sure how effective conversion rates would be for that, but I may try that as well.</description>

		<description>Logan, I like your WooThemes wordpress theme. I&#039;m sorry to hear about your slap but you&#039;re right that you have to keep on your toes in this business. One suggestion is that you might try creating a sales funnel and walk your visitors through the sale before finally sending them to the merchant&#039;s page. This should keep Google off your back.</description>

		<description>I think one day Google will be forced to let advertisers have more flexibility cause their earnings will suffer and the money will be more important than quality scores.</description>

		<description>So far, no slaps for me (knocking on wood).  My big site is about 20 pages as well, along with a 3-month old blog.  For my main keyword, I rank #1 organically and 1-2 in AdWords.  Doing everything I can to keep the big-G happy</description>

		<description>Sorry to hear this, Logan. Your conclusions are right on the money. The only thing I would add is Keep Educating Yourself Daily (to Plan for Change wisely, and react to things quickly).</description>
