- colinbartlett 12y agoSo you're saying the title is misleading and Google has not actually banned hyperlinks? Shocking.
- libria 12y agoThe people red-flagging for domain redirection are the Ads Quality Raters who are contractors not FTEs. They work remotely, rarely collaborate, and follow whatever's written in the rulebook for good/bad ratings. Running ads to a landing page with little content other than a redirect to another domain is forbidden and rightly receives poor ratings. As stated in the article, this was not the case. The rulebook was pretty specific about this, so I don't know how this got so badly interpreted. The AQRs do have a forum they can appeal edge cases on, so I'm surprised this got past a supervisor. I got in so many online arguments with the other AQRs who were not able to interpret the intention behind some of the rules.
