Hello i have a question if i am creating a PPC ad and directly linking to an affiliate url.. suppose i am promoting dating.com affiliate my affiliate url dating.com/affid-meethere What display url to use ? can i use dating.com ??
It depends on the advertiser, but generally no. I know with most of our offers you have to use a domain that you own as the Display URL. So you could register datingnow2008.com or something like that (just an example). You don't need to have a website, just a domain.
so you mean creating landing pages OR doing redirect ? If redirect, then it is also against policy. Hey it seems you are from CPA empire, great.. I have an account with CPA empire, but never started as I lack PPc knowledge.. guide me plz.
http://adwords.blogspot.com/2008/02/update-to-display-url-policy.html is better to have your own landing page also I remember, there cant be 2 ads with same domain at the same time http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=14179
yes i know that, there can't be 2 ads when display url is similar. But will ebay.com or amazon.com etc.. allow me to use ebay/amazon.com as display url ?
I believe you should read their terms too and if the display url must match the domain name, u will need to find keywords that nobody is bidding on to get the ads displayed also u can run a quick test in adwords
but if the display url is same, only one will be visible. BTW - how can i know the competition on google US search ? i am non-US, so could not get an idea on how is the competition.
exactly..the first person to create the ad is better to create your own landing page.. Use the FF plugin named Google Global
Ask the aff manager / advertiser whether you can use their site as display URL. Depends upon the company. Famous and big companies won't allow you. Small time aff programs allow you.
Hitesh, create a landing page. Even if its just an image saying "click here to learn more about x product" or whatever. It'll help your conversions. Direct linking won't make you much money.
I see you have some great landing pages for your clickbank products. you made it , hired designers OR they are readymade ?
A bit of both. Often the good publishers will provide a basic landing page template for you to use. Sometimes you need to be creative and make your own.
