AdWords URL policy

[nator]

Hi Everyone.
Question: when I join some aff program, say on clickbank, can I direct adwords ads directly to the link they give me?
Does google allow directing adwords traffic from multiple campaigns (ie multiple affiliates + merchant) to the same page?

Thanks.

The terms will clearly tell you if you can direct link. With google if you direct link to a tracking url and it goes to awesomeoffer.com for example, then your display url must be awesomeoffer.com.

Google won't display the same display url twice on the serp page. So if you and 50 other affiliates are showing aweseomoffer.com as your display url and you are bidding on the same keywords you will have a 1/50 chance of your ad showing.

Basically you are better off with a landing page on google. I have had luck direct linking on other engines though.

Hi,

Thanks,
I just found the terms of google:
Google AdWords Help Center

Seems like they don't allow intermediate (bridge )pages either...
Can I just disregard their policy and set up a landing page to redirect traffic to the main landing page?
