There is no ban on hyperlinks. So while your case may be ridiculous, it's not as ridiculous as you imply.
Adwords Policy prohibits something called "low value content", which includes:
Landing pages that are solely designed to send users elsewhere
Examples: Bridge, doorway, gateway, or other intermediate pages
Adwords clearly (but mistakenly, I guess?) interpreted your page as a gateway page, with the sole purpose being to drive users to your Amazon listing page (on a different site, obviously).
- hermitcrab 12y agoFrom the article: The review page isn’t a landing page. It isn’t linked directly from any of any of my Google ads. To get to it the user has to: 1. click on the ad 2. click on ‘customers’ in the navigation bar 3. select ‘review’ 4. click on the Amazon.com hyperlink (there is no automatic redirect) Also I am only linking to that page so they can read independent reviews of my product. I don’t [want] them to buy it from Amazon!
- sjs382 12y agoI'm not saying that I agree with their assessment. Note the last line of my comment. Emphasis added: > Adwords clearly (but mistakenly, I guess?) interpreted your page as a gateway page, with the sole purpose being to drive users to your Amazon listing page (on a different site, obviously). I'm just saying that your headline does a particularly bad job of characterizing the issue.
- dsleno 12y agoAdwords banned my site for a page that was not being advertised in Adwords. It appears what you need to do today to be safe is have a landing page on a completely unique site, without hyperlinks going anywhere else. Or maybe, send people to Google Shopping. That's probably what this is all about.
