    I have found a clickbank product I'd like to promote but I would like to just send it straight to the vendor cold. I believe the process is called masking. But I don't want to keep my domain at the top. I have seen a few people do this on PPC but I thought google got wise. Apparently google has not somehow. How would I do this with a domain I have? I want to basically do PPC and send people straight to the clickbank site.

    Ok, here’s how to send your customers directly to the the publisher’s clickbank order page:

    1. Go to the Clickbank marketplace and create a hoplink for any product you wish.
    It will look like this: AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net

    2. Rewrite the hoplink in this format: 1.AFFILIATE_PUBLISHER.pay.clickbank.net/
    The “1 is the publisher’s default item number. Check to see what the publisher’s item or product number is by going to their clickbank order page.

    For example, if the item number is “2 the ninja hoplink would look like this: 2.AFFILIATE_PUBLISHER.pay.clickbank.net/

    direct linking with CB and ADwords --> BAD. It will bite you in the *** sooner or later, believe me.

    Either you will get really bad quality score and HIGH bids...or your ad wont show (because someone else uses the same URL)...

    There are *some* workarounds like masking, iframing...but those are also NOT the best solutions. Because no matter how you turn it, if you mask or iframe you dont have a real site and google will slap you.

    Okay so when you have a domain and it is redirected to the affiliate page would that become a problem? Sorry I'm a newbie to this.

    Ok it is what I thought. You basically cannot or should not do it. I guess whenever the actual google person looks at your site they will see that is being masked or that it is an affiliate link. Thanks for the info guys.

    so what would be the best way for an affiliate? from the ad, redirect it to a generic landing page then off to the actual site with the affiliate link?

    That appears to be the only answer. Google seems to have figured everything else out. You can still mask a domain, but if google catches you or someone reports you (it's called doubleserving a lot of times) then your account will at least get slapped and maybe banned.
