I've read numerous eBooks on using Google Adwords to make sales, and while it sounds like a fantastic marketing idea (and looks like it as well according to people like Jonny Andrews)...I'm left wondering if I won't screw something up, lose my Adwords account, or worse lose my affiliate markets.

What does and doesn't work using Adwords? I've heard setting up a landing page instead of directly linking to the affiliate, but I also heard that Google doesn't allow that. Is Adwords completly out of the question for affiliate marketing?

This may also be in the wrong place, I'm new here. By the way, how rude of me not to introduce myself; my name is Duane if you are wondering and I started IM about three months ago (I've made about 6 dollars).
