    Hey guys

    I am new to adwords ... just registered

    I want help .. I have signed up with good affiliate networks ..

    Say i want to promote an Acai offers that have say 30$ lead
    All i get from the affiliate network is a link

    I was wondering does Google allow direct affiliate links to be promoted or even do they allow if u cloak the affiliate link thru your site like mysite.com/acai-berry is that allowed in Google

    If yes good and if no how do i make a landing page for all acai products ... even if u make how do i target them thru my affilate link so that my leads are converted

    All experienced adwords users and professional please provide some explanation

    Help

    HI,
    Yes you can still direct link on google. Your display URL must be the final page where the user lands on when the clicks on the ad.

    You can still direct link on Google but many affiliate programs these days don't allow you to do this in their terms and conditions, so you may have to go down the landing page route.

    Nutan why not go to Google Adwords tutorial or help center, you'll learn a world of information, adwords is a tricky game. You can lose your shirt. So get the big picture first for your own sake.

    You can but its better to get your own domain and set there redirection to the aff link with meta refresh or just cloak.

    Yeah, they do allow direct affiliate linking, as long as the final destination domain name is the same as your display domain name.

    You can direct link but don't expect much success with popular offers like Acai or Reverse Phone Detective or other high gravity Clickbank Products. The way to go is landing pages with different domain name. But again if a campaign is already dominating certain keywords it will be hard to knock them off if you are new due to Googles policy of quality score. The length of time you have had your account is something that is taken into account!

    It seems that direct linking has never worked for me. Google gives me the worst QS ever for each of those kind of campaigns I intend to set up :(

    I always go through my own landing page route. Good luck!
