Does Yahoo PPC allow a direct link to CPA landing page?

I am under the impression that Ad Words does not so I am thinking about Yahoo?

Yes of course they do but it's never a good idea to direct link to offers. My biggest issue with direct linking is that it exposes all of your campaign data to your affiliate manager. A lot of people seem to have the belief that their affiliate manager would never dare take a peak at their campaigns traffic sources and either use them or pass off the information to other affiliates but it happens ALL THE TIME. Ask any affiliate who is doing volume and they'll admit that their affiliate managers constantly expose traffic sources and data because 99% of affiliate managers get paid mostly on commission. They would be stupid to not hand off your data.

Not to mention that with a proper landing page you can vastly increase your conversion rate and thus increase your sales.

Side Note: I just bought your WSO ... looks like good stuff. BTW ... can you provide a link to a site you would refer to as a "proper landing page?"
