Link Format

    I have an advertiser who allows direct links from adwords. I just need some help setting it up.

    1. I pulled a text link from CJ.
    2. I built the adword ad.
    3. I used the advertiser's url as the display url

    I am stuck at the destination url. Google won't let me move past that point.

    The CJ link looks like this.

    <a href="http://www.dpxxxjk.net/click-#########-##########" target="_top">Advertisers Name</a> <img src="http://www.abcdef.net/image-#######-#######" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>

    What do I need with this link format to put it as Google's destination URL and maintain proper tracking?

    leave out everything after the #####, you do not need the img or the rest of that stuff, important is your pid and the aid

    anyway, I would suggest you to go slow while investing in AdWords as it looks that you don't know what you're doing

    Check the keyword link of the advertiser to see if they allow the use of "Theirsite.com" as the display URL, or if you need to send visitors to your own page first. If you use their display URL and it isn't allowed, be prepared to have all of your commission reversed - Your ad might shutdown the advertiser's own ad!
