It looks as though Google have decided to allow online gambling sites to advertise via their adwords system, this in itself is great news. However this is only open to actual operators them selves who own their own lisence. Affiliates will not be able to use the system at the current time. This means all the time spent getting out sites to the top of the search engines has now been wasted since the casinos themselves can simply bid more and get above our natural listings.

Although this isn’t 100% it is set to go live tomorrow and I’m sure the impact on affiliates targeting the UK will be huge.

The only good thing to come of this is that one day affiliates will once again be able to advertise using adwords, but I can’t see that happening for a long time, if ever.
