Hi guys, there's all the issues about landing page relevance. I am still seeing some ads on Google that do not have a landing page of their own, but link directly to the merchant's sales page on clickbank. How do they do that without being penalized by Google.I have tried some top level redirects but they were rejected by Google. PS some of the display URLs seem non-existent!
dont do a redirect just send them to your hoplink. And the display URL has to match the URL you are sending them to. you can use a redirect if it is for tracking purposes. Some smart ones I have seen catch email and then send them on.
People sneak these in on an existing account every once in a while. Google's system doesn't automatically find these so they are golden until somebody at Google notices or if they are reported.
