Direct linking

    Some advertisers that allow direct linking from PPC ads don't allow to use their domain name for visible URL. Isn't that kind of stupid? What should I put for visible URL in those cases?

    It's not kind of stupid. Google only allows one ad per domain. Therefore, if the advertiser is spending tens of thousands of dollar a month on a search agency or in house SEM team, why would they let you use theirs & take down their official ad? I've seen misspellings, bad grammar, and even lies in ads by affiliates using the advertiser's own domain. It makes the advertiser look awful.

    You need a landing page, or use an engine that doesn't care about the visible URL actually existing.

    Please respect merchants terms and conditions and yes do not use their domain if it's not allowed. If you are not ready to create landing pages then pick merchants that DO allow DL. Not every merchant has same restrictions.
