Just of recent I decided to go into affiliate marketing business. I've been looking for different ways to promote affiliate links, and Google Ads is one of the traffic source I want to use. However, I'm not entirely sure about the rules and best practices for this. From what I understand, Google has strict policies on affiliate marketing, especially when it comes to ad quality and landing page relevance. 

It seems like direct linking might not always be allowed, so creating a high-quality landing page could be essential. I'm also curious about how to stay compliant while ensuring the campaign gets good results.  Have any of you successfully promoted affiliate links using Google Ads?
