[SpyLead]

The issue of campaign rejections due to the "Compromised Sites" error in Google Ads has become a persistent challenge for affiliate marketers in sectors such as iGaming, health, dating, and crypto. This article will outline the primary causes of this problem and offer straightforward yet effective ways to protect both campaigns and accounts.

Understanding the “Compromised Site” Issue​

The “Compromised Site” notification signals that Google Ads has detected a security issue on a website. The error often arises from vulnerabilities like:

• Malicious or suspicious code,
• Phishing links,
• Redirects to unauthorized sites, and
• Unsecured data collection forms.

To safeguard user trust, Google Ads blocks ads linking to sites with potential security issues.

Detecting a Compromised Site​

Google identifies “Compromised Sites” in several ways:

• Link Rejections in Ad Campaigns: Google Ads scans URLs and blocks those that fail to meet security requirements.

• Google Search Console Alerts: Google may alert site owners to detected issues via Google Search Console.

Affiliate marketing experts confirm that the “Compromised Site” problem has recently intensified, significantly impacting ad campaign effectiveness.
