I have not used ms adcenter in a while, but chatted with them today and they said it was ok to have the destination url be a direct affiliate link. And I could use the domain of the site I was promoting to be the display url. This sounds pretty cool for some search ad testing just wondering if anyone does this this way, or if they have there own landing page as the destination url? They sound a lot more lenient towards affiliate marketers. Thanks
As of now they are lenient as they do not have much clients wherein they need to manage the policy. Although affiliate links are not allowed in Google Adwords. I even ran a campaign with Bing wherein they do allow the direct affiliate marketers. So you can simply go ahead. Good luck!
