Lately tracking domains getting flagged. Anyone else?

Has anyone else faced this issue? Over the past 2 weeks 2 of my tracking domains have been flagged. Have been doing it for years and have never faced problems with my tracking domains, usually landing page URL or subdomain gets flagged and that´s it.

Also, landing pages that have the same tracking domain in the source code (click URL to offer) get flagged, but landing pages using other tracking domains are not affected.

So yeah, wherever Google sees the URL (abc.somethingvoluum.com) - in the address bar or in the source code - it flags the path.

Using custom domains with Voluum, CNAMEd to a legacy domain. The usual setup.

Anyone else with similar experience?

Are you using HTTPS on your tracking domain?

Could have to do with that as well.

Otherwise, I had a period like 2.5 years ago when that happened and then it went back to normal. Also, make sure you use a .com for your tracking domain, nothing like .xyz or .website.

I avoided the name Voluum in the domain too.

Yep, using .com´s and no "Voluum" in domain names. Will switch to https. When this happened to you, did you figure out what caused this?

One time probably just random, the other was because the domain was not a .com.

First one lasted almost a year, then second one a couple of weeks. Then we bought like 3-4 domains to setup, never had an issue in like 2 years.
