    Would I still get smart priced if I redirect from a real domain to my aff landing page?

    redirecting is fine as long as your display url is the final url the user sees.
    I have redirects on all my ads. :)

    Final meaning 'final' landing page (the one that the user ends up at)

    Then yes, you can expect your AdWords CPC rates to skyrocket if you're doing that.

    This is okay:
    PPC ad --click--> andyem.com/shortlink --PHP-redirect--> andyem.com/long/link?id=whatever

    These are not okay:
    PPC ad --click--> andyem.com/shortlink --PHP-redirect--> jdoqocy.com/click-123 --redirect--> merchantsite.com/product

    PPC ad --click--> andyem.com/shortlink --PHP-redirect--> merchantsite.com/product

    Perfect thx. Im still having trouble with how I'm going to track keywords with adwords. Adcenter Im going stright to the aff link passing the {keyword} but having this extra page will require a bit more code.
