Google Adwords promotion using Brave.com?

Brave Rewards Creators
1

Hi all

So I’ve been looking into Google Ads (formerly Adwords) promotion for my own website and I noticed that there are quite a few advertisers with different referral codes using Google Ads to promote Brave.com and then probably getting the referral rewards using a non-owned website?

Is this possible? And if so, is this the way it should be? Surely it’s not adding any value in terms of being a “creator”. Plus they tend to get the best results in Google as the Brave.com domain is a highly ranked domain pushing all other content creator domains downwards or increasing their costs.

Any input here please? @steeven @chriscat and whoever else has a view on this?

Cheers
B

I dont see any problem if creators pay for the ads showing. Its totally legal and legitemate. How can you know that TOP websites without Google ads showing in search results are not paying for SEO? Following your logic, they should be exluded from program too imo.

i think you’re missing my point.

I’m not against people using Google Ads or any other form of promotion. I’m questioning their ads leading to and using the domain brave.com directly. Is that really what the referral programm is all about? They just create Google Ads and if somesome searches for “brave browser” > click their ad en then get a referral without actually create content.

Hope it makes sense what I mean

I could be wrong, but I believe they have to have content to get the referral links. And anyway, just look at the so called websites advertising on Google, no content just big download button all over the place.

thanks Chris for your response.

So there is no such rule that advertising should first lead to their own website/platform first instead of directly leading traffic to brave.com? Within Google Ads that is.

Theyve answered already, if you use the direct link, you are not allowed to advertise with brave TM keywords.

Hello @chriscat, could you explain me - can I advertise my private blog with polish content about Brave? Or is it forbidden now? I don’t advertise referral links directly, but I don’t know if I can advertise my private blog about Brave. It would be nice get the clear answer :slight_smile: I don’t wan’t to brake the rules. I use Google Ads and Facebook Ads for promoting my blog, not referral links. Best Regards.
