Adwords LP Cloaking

    Recently, I got my Adwords account suspended. I don't know the reason now, I am still waiting for Adwords support.

    Just wanted to ask, could it be, because I was using cloaked destination urls?

    By cloaked, I mean frame redirect. Example:

    display url is: www.123.com
    destination url: www.123.com/abc
    final landing page url: www.123.com/abc

    YES, this practice is allowed, there is no problem with this

    You can even do the following

    display url is: www.mydomain.com
    destination url: www.myredirecturl.com
    final landing page url:www.mydomain.com/dedicatedlandingpage

    So probably, there was some other reason for suspension.

    Ok, thanks for clearing this out for me.

    Cheers.

    Most likely...

    did you have ads going to other sites? Maybe they though you were doing arbitrage

    I was promoting Clickbank products as an affiliate. So my frame cloaked LP was redirecting users to the vendor's sales page.

    How many times have you been suspended or banned now?

    I don't count, but I think three :D Everytime, there is some stupid reason, nothing serious ;) But you know, it's hard to explain that to Adwords.

    In your case, the display URL and the landing page URL match - so you're fine with that. But, if all your landing page includes is a 100% frame to another URL, then no, that's not allowed. AdWords doesn't allow framed redirects, since that effectively violates the URL matching rule.

    Yes, that's exatcly what I got.....Basically, I am using frame redirect to forward my Clickbank hoplink to vendor's page. So for example:

    If I am promoting www.fatloss4idiots.com, I create a subdirectory for my domain, let's say, www.example.com/fatloss4idiots and there I put index file with frame redirect to my hoplink.

    When a user clicks on my ad, he will be redirected to vendor's page, but when he lands on the page, the url in the address bar will be my url (www.example.com/fatloss4idiots.com) instead of normal one, which should be www.fatloss4idiots.com/?hop=myclickbanknickname

    Yahoo does allow that...
