Help with Subdomains, Re-Directs and QSI

    Hi all

    I recently sent the following query to YSM:

    /*--------------------------------------------------
    Hi, I have a query about how I am allowed to construct my ad (I couldn't find a direct answer in your terms and conditions and i don't want to break any rules or get a bad QSI)

    Scenario: I want to Sell Sony Televisions.
    The Landing Page I want my ad to go to is www.Televisions.Com/Sony
    The URL I want to display is Sony.Televisions.Com

    Is this allowed? Will it have a negative effect on my QSI? Due to my CMS limitations I can't actually put the landing page on Sony.Televisions.Com, but If I sent traffic to the subdomain and then used a redirect (in .htaccess or on the subdomain's index page) to the actual page would I be penalised in QSI or minimum bid?

    I hope that makes sense, I want to make the best possible use of the ads I run but I don't want to jeapordise my ability to get the best possible QSI.
    ------------------------------------------------*/

    The answer I got was sketchy at best. '"you shouldn't use redirects. It will work but we may penalise your QSI in the future"

    I was hoping if somebody here could give their opinion. What would be the best way of redirecting from a subdomain without hurting QSI?

    Thanks everybody

    Chris.
