Hey guys, just wondering here, after spy some placements i see a LOT of aff's who still using misleading ads with 'Have an Virus' creatives and landers, driving users to android app installs. Seems that the Google new rules and the alert send by networks dont cause any kinda of afraid in some affiliates. And when i say that i see a LOT of ads like this, its like seems the same number of ads and aff running those kinda of ads Before & After the big G changes.
I dont see any significant drop in this kinda of ads. Seems that affiliates dont hear google and still running ads and offers in this angle.
What you guys think about this ? Crazy affs who dont care ?
Google is finalizing their new algo which will rescan all ads on adwords and suspend accounts who run shady ads. As far as third party networks go they might go after the app developer.
Some of those ads are running to my product, which is outside the Play store. That's at least partially why they're able to keep running them... The Play store rules and restrictions don't apply.
By the same token, Google is notoriously uneven in how they enforce new rules on the Android platform. Some of those affiliates are definitely running contrary to the new rules.
Yeah there is a mix of reactions. You should see things even out within a month. Google need time to review previously approved ads. App owners need to tighten up their relationships with affs and networks. Aff networks and affs need to start taking responsibility too. It's a bit soon for it all to be in line already.
I'd say a combination of short term thinking and last ditch money grabbing.
The more affiliates that tone down their ads, the less the banner blindness for those who are willing to keep pushing.
Traditionally, the rope snaps eventually and somebody gets burnt. But until then, expect to keep seeing them.
Big G just suspended a shit load of affiliates & companies running tech offers on search traffic.

This is similar to those anti-virus submits/app instals.
