Redirects?

Does AdWords allow redirects? For example, if I used a link from Azoogle that landed on coolsneakers.com but I purchased the domain name freshsneakers.com to use as the display URL in my ad on Adwords which redirected to coolsneakers.com, would they allow it?

 

Google sent an email stating that the display email and the direct url should on the same domain.

 

yeah.. what he said .. but whats up with all the redirects?

 

redirect not allowed as disply url and landing page url are different. you can read more about this here http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-help-roi/browse_thread/thread/702ee4436ceda65e

 

"If the redirect makes your landing page slow to load, this can hurt your campaign. If it seems pretty speedy, you should be fine."

 

Redirects are fine. I use them all the time.

Just make sure your Display URL = The main URL of Landing Page.

Example:
Lading Page: MerchantSite.com/Product
Redirect (destination URL): YourSite.com/Redirect-Merchant.html

Display URL has to be: MerchantSite.com

Google will have no problems at all.

google will allow it but you cannot auto redirect. The visitor needs to click on an exit link to the advertiser
