I was doing a google search today and saw this ad. Transmission Repair Transmission Repair Shop in CA Automatic & Standard Drive Trains AvTrans.com Code (markup): Yet when you click on it the destination url is avtrans.leads.com Code (markup): Two completely seperate domains. Is it because the keyword is so close? I thought the destination page has to be at least on the same domain.
I've seen much example out there, but the question is can you risk your account? (unless you have multiple acc in control)
My understanding of the rule is that, as you point out, that ad should not be allowed because the destination domain is not the same as the one shown in the ad. I did check who this leads.com is and it happens to be an Adwords authorized reseller. Don't know if it has something to do with it, some special rule for resellers.
