    I purchased a domain at go daddy, made forwarding (i think it's called 301 forwarding), and put this domain in adwords both in Display URL and destination URL, but adwords dissaproves it Saying "Inaccurate Display URL", why is it incaurate if it goes to the same destination?

    I would like to help but I am having a little trouble understanding exactly what you mean.

    So you purchased a new domain (well call it domain 1).
    Forwarded that domain to a different site. (lets call it domain 2)
    You then put domain 1 in adwords as the display and destination url.

    If I am understanding your correctly then it seems that your problem is that Google is considering your destination URL to be domain2.com since domain1.com merely forwards to it.

    If I have misunderstood you please give me a little more information as to what domain you entered where.

    Good Luck.

    mydomain.com redirects to my affiliate URL, with meta refresh code
    so i put mydomain.com in the Display URL and Destination URL in adwords, but adwords dissaproves it.
    So how do it do it for adwords to approve my ad?

    I don't think you can redirect from your site to affiliate site. You can only direct link to your site or the affiliate.

    Check it again, i got this message last time i redirect my affiliate link.
    the problem might be that you don't use www. on both boxes provided by google.
    Or might be that you use http www on box and did not use the same on the other.
    I recheck this above and the problem resolved.

    Does google care about that? I can add a adwords group with different domain in my account.

    From what I know, google doesn't allow redirect links in the destination url.

    Okay, now I understand what you were saying a lot better.

    I think Donna had it right on this one. G does not allow redirect links in the destination url.

    If you registered domain1.com which redirects to domain2.com

    Try putting your DISPLAY URL for the ad as domain1.com, not domain2.com.
