    I use CB hop links directly in Adwords and YSM campaigns. No problems whatsoever and is making good money.

    Yes you can. However bear in mind that Google will only serve up on ad per destination URL.

    In otherwords if other people are also pointing their ads directly to the hoplink page for the same product then only one of you will show. So you may find you have some extra competition.

    Your own landing pages would also have the advantage of letting you optimise your ads for a lower click price.

    Cheers

    Display url: www . affiliate-product-that-you-want-promote . com (this is belong to publisher, not you)
    Destination url: http:// xxx.zzz.hop.clickbank.net

    Remarks: xxx - your id, zzz - an affiliate product

    Yes, you can do this, but you need to be aware that to really dominate your competition, you need to build an opt-in list.

    This will allow you to spend more on Adwords, because overtime, the value of your customers will increase. You will then be able to spend more to get new customers in your marketing funnel.

    The landing page can greatly benefit you. You can use it to gather emails for an opt-in list, in which you can promote future products or programs, but more importantly you can pre-sell the product. Build up more hype before they see the same old tired sales pitch they have read over and over again. This method can greatly increase conversions.

    People, are using redirect url's as a destination url?

    Let's say instead of "username.publisher.hop.clickbank.net", you write "tinyurl.com/abc123"

    Does it help? or make any difference?

    himanuzo, YOU CAN'T DO THAT: You can't put one display url and totally different destination url. Your ads are going to be stopped after a time. Google in the near past starting looking at this stuff, my ad was stopped as well.

    you people go through a lot of hassles...not to shamelessly plug a product of mine, but on http://hijacker.superiorbits.com you can see my ebook where i decribe a method to clone any site, and its not a redirect or anything like that.

    So..you want to promote whatever CB product out there ? watch the video how i promote affiliate-elite in 2 Minutes 30 seconds on my *own* site. Also...i am done with a web-interface which will allow all this without the 3rd party tool mentioned. We (partner and me) will add that to the final product soon.
    Ever since i use that method (the same method i wrote the book about) i dont even bother about "hmm....display url" etc..etc..since any product i can put up on my own domain in a few minutes. I also dont think that G is too fond of "tinyurl" etc..

    yes---thats nice and good! except that for the majority of the known products it's already a given that someone else already uses this url. And google only allows ONE ad per display URL/keyword. Except you would outbid the competitor. Thats why you want landing-pages.

    You can do this of course. But don't forget about the display URL. If someone esle (other affiliate) is using it than the first come, highest payer wins the slot.
    Better to use your own landing page.

    You can.. but, better is to create one landing page at your end. As Google already had mentioned in its guidelines that the display URL and destination URL should be of same domain.
