Dealing with Google Landing Page Quality Problems

[cshireman]

Has anyone had any experience getting your muse site out of trouble with the Google Adwords landing page quality ranking? I have changed my headers, my content, and anything else I can to try and comply with their guidelines while keeping my site simple. Still nothing. Not sure what I did, I got 274 clicks prior to getting blocked so I'm not sure what made their robot change their mind about my site. Do I need to come up with a new muse idea? Do I have to repackage my muse at a different URL to get back in? Any recommendations for site developers that can build sites that won't get banned? My next stop will be elance for this, but a recommendation would go a long way. Here is my URL for reference - HELP!

You need to optimize your meta keywords, register with webmaster tools, get some pictures on your page and throw in your keywords into the alt text, get a few other sites linking to your page with the prescribed keywords, put in keyword appropriate ad copy, check out the google wheel for help on this. Also, add in a privacy policy, terms and conditions, contact us page with your address as well. That should get you up to a 7, just contact me directly at vtamethod.com through the contact page if you want me to take a look at your quality score I can usually get it up to 7's - 10's within an hour or two.

Your "google slap" has NOTHING to do with keywords in my opinion.

It has to do with the size of your site. All you have is a sales page and some other basic (mainly empty) pages.

Google sees your site as a site with zero content.

You need to do this:

1) Get a real domain, don't use Weebly
2) Add a bunch of articles. 15 or so. They need to be related to the content of your sales letter.
3) Put privacy policy in place

Those are some of the basics. Google Adwords is much different than when Tim first published his book. Things have changed a lot.

Thanks for your help, you both helped me improve my score enough to get the ads running again. I still need to get a full domain name, which I am sure will help a lot, but right now it is at a 4. I added the privacy policy, terms & conditions, contact information, and updated the ad title to match the keywords I targeted in my site.

I'll still keep improving things, but at least it is running again!
