G's content network - running dating?

From my research here is what I found out about adwords:
- Don't like affiliates
- Easy to get banned
- Very strict about everything

What are the chances to get dating vertical running on one of the website which have adsense placed on it?

Anyone done that? Cloaking?

Dating is a no-no niche for Adwords.. UNLESS.......

Unless? Unless you are owner of the dating network?

dating isn't impossible on GCN....some sites are legit, goog will allow you to run...some no (thing is there no real way to be sure till you submit)....the main issue is you have to use the advertisers page which often doesn't get a great QS which you make that up to some extent with a decent CTR...but it can be a bit tough sometimes...


what I have found though is that often the adverts lp is so bad QS wise that you can often get slapped with QS of 1 which pretty much nixs the camp.....


now I am not gonna say there is any hard and fast rules here.....but adwords is tricky when it comes to sites you don't have control over.....cuz if at any point they don't like that page your dead in the water if you cant make changes to the page....

Well. I wanted to test If I can get something approved without cloaking and I did, but there are no impressions no matter how high I bid.

Here is what's being displayed: "The combination of your current campaign settings and targeting criteria do not appear to have enough Google AdSense pageviews to be meaningfully diagnosed."

There is google adsense ads all over that website.
What could be a problem?

i've always been curious wtf G wants the page to look like to get a high QS... anyone possibly have any examples?

Keyword you're bidding on in the title, in the content and a high CPC. If your CTR is good, your QS will be ok.

I do well with dating on Adwords. Better than FB or POF which I can't make work to save my life...The key to Adwords dating is you have to be allowed to direct link and the advertiser has to not be competing with you on Adwords. Ideal is if they will set up a separate domain for you only with all the functionality of the main site.

There's a ton of money to be made with dating on the content network. I did an easy six figures on it.

this is exactly right...just make sure the advert follows the TOS ....goog is very strict when it comes to lead capture....they gotta have a solid P-policy that is clearly located preferably on the lead capture form

Can't you iframe the offer LP, change title and also stuff some invisible content to get your QS higher? Not into GCN but that might work, no?
