URL restrictions

Tony,
I’m in the process of running my first campaign w/ Adwords and I’m promoting an affiliate offer. The problem that I’m having is that although I have my own domain name, the URL that I have is completely different from the affiliate link that I will need to use, in order to have my visitors go directly to that landing page, from my ad- Google doesn’t allow this, they say that the display URL and the destination URL must be “fairly similar” in appearance. How do I get around around this? I was thinking about going back to my domain registrar or my hosting company and doing a redirect for the destination URL so that it looks identical to my display URL….any suggestions?

  1. Your redirect idea won’t appease Google, unfortunately.

    The display URL must match the FINAL destination… after any automatic redirects.

    If you use your domain name in the ad, clicking on the ad must take the user to your web site. You can place ads on you site that lead to the affiliate program you are promoting.

    Go to http://www.Great-Colleges.com for an example of how this is done. This is one of my sites, and is available for free at http://www.AffiliateMillions.com.
