PSP - Google and Prescriptions
23rd March 2005
We recommend online pharmacy affiliates take fast action to place a
specific declaration on your site pages. i.e. - For USA orders the FDA
require that, either a current prescription or a new prescription from
a qualified medical practitioner is obtained to cover the purchase of
controlled medications.
Google have suspended several PPC affiliates for not displaying the above
disclaimer on their sites, (despite ads only showing outside US). Most
OP affiliates do not advertise on Google Adwords or Overture, so it is
not a big deal. However, it is an additional restriction I am sure you
would prefer to eliminate.
We use two purpose built sites for Google non prescription links. The
main site: http://www.bestsexboost.com/
for herbal, with all pharmacy links removed. However, Google and Overture
PPC advertising for herbal products are too expensive, so we do not use
them.
Our growth of herbal/natural, while small initially, is now reaching
significant numbers with an increasing number of effective natural products
being identified. For your long term business, we suggest you make use
of the fact there are fewer issues with marketing non prescription health
products. The 4 top natural product suppliers on the summary list are
all generating and paying growing commissions. http://www.drugstorebestbuys.com/affiliates/default.htm#natural

PS: Google search now commands only 36% of the market with Yahoo taking
a 29% share and MSN following at 15%.
