Do The Display And Destination URL's In An Adword's Ad Have To Be Different!?

    Sometimes the display URL is a shortened version of the destination URL. In one of my campaigns (set up by Google experts) the ad was not allowed as my Destination URL didn't complly with their standards. There was one small problem, the domain of my site changed and the URL used by Google (which they didn't bother to check) was slightly off-topic. So I changed the display URL to reflect this new change of my domain name and Google decided that wouldn't do either. Maybe I got into trouble for changing a campaign that their own staff set up anyway!? The point is, the stupid ad wasn't displaying so I made the adjustment and they said 'No'!

    I have contacted them and am waiting. My dipsplay URL http://Money-Fatherspirit.com is exactly the same as the destination URL. I am lost on this one!

    Might need the www, but its shouldn't matter. I would wait to see what they say but that should go through fine once they review it. Good luck.
