Can you use direct affiliate links on MSN PPC?

Dayne Dylan · 10-09-2009, 02:23 PM

Just curious if any of you use direct affiliate links when using PPC on MSN Adcenter or Bing? Is this allowed? I now it isn't at Google obviously.

Thanks!

Last time I checked you can direct link in adcenter and YSM, but with all the big changes going on due to the FTC cracking down, that might change real soon.

That's actually a cool difference between Google and other two engines I hadn't realized.

You can direct link in all PPC search engines that I know of. I don't anticipate any one of them to change that soon, ever actually.

No, in Adwords you need to make custom landing pages. You can't link to a CB offer page -- well you technically CAN -- but Google will divide up traffic between all other advertisers linking to the same URL. So, if you're in a competitive niche, you need your own landing page, you shouldn't link directly to affiliate offers.
