    It should approve it. But you won't know until you try it. it won't cost you anything.

    I guess you need to check terms and condition for maxbounty CPA. and if still you have doubts write a mail to them.My suggestion to confirm with them before starting campaign to be on safer side.

    That's exactly how you are suppose to do it. Your display URL must be mb01.com if that's indeed the final domain destination. In other words, mb01.com must be the one that shows in your browser's address bar after all redirects.

    Nah, thats probably not the real destination URL.

    The Destination URL is the one where the user lands finally.
    The linkURL is the link from Maxbounty, which is normally different from the Destination-URL!

    Your Display URL must = the landing page of the destination URL

    So in theory the designation URL can be your affiliate link as above, now just ask this one question > if i press that URL where does it Land ?

    where ever it lands is the then the display URL these can not be different

    for example if this affiliate link mb01.com/lnk.asp?o=etc lands at

    http: // www.surfbounty.com/

    so surfbounty must be your display URL. what you can do is ad a prefix or a sub to that URL if you wish

    for example it could be displayed as

    www.getpaid.surfbounty.com
    www.surfbounty.com /getpaid
    getpaid.surfbounty.com

    or similar combinations less than 35 letters

    so that part is fine, but what is not fine is that landing page, if you read googles terms it would rate that page low as it nearly ticks all of the boxes for things it hates so you would get a quality score of 1/10 for that page

    but please try it if you will as i may be wrong

    and you ad would then be basically impossible to run or show unless you spent 1 scullion dollars a click per say. and even then they probably still will not run it

    Your options here are to build a good quality site not a land/bridge page and with half a bit of luck you may be able to get you quality score to work

    Your best option for that would be as above but with yahoo or other advertising networks.
