Good luck to you. In my personal experience, many Clickbank products are simply garbage. I had an Adwords account banned because of a Clickbank product. What was this controversial product? Instructions for building a chicken coop. There are more "legitimate" affiliate companies you may want to try. Amazon, Commission Junction, etc. I am no longer able to use Adwords...ever. [UPDATE] I have also had Facebook Advertising suspended because of Clickbank products, too.

I don't know Clickbank, but in general it seems very difficult to make money with affiliate sales - unless you earn a lot with every sale. That is just my impression. On the other hand, AdWords just keep chugging away, getting better and better. Especially for this beauty/health related site there could be expensive keywords. There will probably be ads for silly fat burner things, cosmetic surgery, and so on. I suppose the more scammy the ad, the more expensive.

  I actually had advertised on Facebook Ads, a Clickbank product that was converting 1 in 20 (5%). But the ad was suspended by Facebook after 1 day because of the product, not the ad. Also, do you mean Adsense? I still have my Adsense account and generate enough for some beer money each month. But if I wanted to pay Google to advertise a site through PPC, I am banned for life. Stange that Google won't take my money, but is happy to write me checks.

    Yes, sorry, I meant AdSense.

It sounds like you were trying to do click arbitrage. Is that forbidden by Google / FB ads? I don't really understand why it would be, but I guess I could understand that being a more reasonable cause for a ban than the fact that you were advertising a chicken coop.

  No arbitrage, just advertising Clickbank products through Facebook and Adwords. I was told by Adwords staff, that if I change the content of the Chicken Coop site to conform to Google's policies, the account ban would be lifted. Unfortunately, as an affiliate, I have no control over the content of the Clickbank site I am promoting, nor any warning as to when it went into 'non-compliance'. I did not think the Chicken Coop site was insidious.
