Going to landing page without costing the advertiser money.

    Hello,

    With google & yahoo I can extract the landing page URL from the ad's URL since the landing page is in plain text at the end of the URL as a variable.

    However, msn doesn't seem to do it like that. The landing page is not in the URL. Is there any way to go to the landing page URL (not the display URL) without costing the advertiser money?

    I just want to see who I'm up against but I don't want to cost them any money).

    Thanks

    search has the url,so you talking site ads?you have an example?
    ypn and adsense you can view the source of the frame and see what address it is on click.

    I'm talking about ads on google.com, yahoo.com and msn.com (so not adsense, ypn as this is for third party sites).

    But yes, google you can extract the URL like so:

    So just the last part: adurl=http://www.enetseo.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/seo-quote.html is the real URL.

    Yahoo:

    The last part again: yargs=www.PepperjamSearch.com

    MSN:

    It doesn't show the landing page in the MSN url. So is there a way to enable that feature or just to append a variable to the URL so that the advertisers won't be charged for me clicking on the ad?

    yes, msn on click is an id and not the address,so i guess there is no way of knowing without clicking on it.
