Thank you for help.

You can use your clickbank link as the destination url, and use the product main url as the display url. But I have to caution you that what you are doing is what we call direct linking or "google cashing". Adwords has some rules that permits 1 parent url and restrict affiliate links for promotion. So the highest bidder's affiliate link get more exposure. It is a bidding war and your quality score will not be too good since there are dozens of similar affiliate websites like yours. That said, if the product is not competitive ie not many affiliates promoting using Adwords, you can still get cheap keyword bids for decent traffic.
He's given you the answer so I'm not sure what you want confirmed, but here it is in google's own words https://adwords.google.com/support/...4&query=affiliate+urls&topic=&type=f&onClick=
Yes it is legal but the effectiveness is pretty much watered down. You will be engaging in a bidding war and not only so, the quality score of your website will be affected especially when adwords see too many duplicates. Try using landing pages so that the content and url are unique.
