    Am I reading that right?

    How can I test landing pages that way if the display URL has a limit of characters?

    no no no
    not exactly

    You can have this:
    Display URL:yourawesomesite.com
    Site URL: yourawesomesite.com/landingpage1.php?smth=smth

    Your display URL needs to be the URL where the searcher lands after clicking on your ad.

    If you have a redirect script or link of say http://yourlink.com/mytrackinginfo/z12345, but after you visit that page it ends up at http://yoursite.com

    you could use yoursite.com as the display url and the other as the destination url

    Display URL needs to be only the domain name & extn... it need not be the entire path... If your domain name & extn extends the limit drop a note to adwords support.
