Google & bad destination URL ( forwarding )

enterpryzman · 10-21-2009, 11:31 AM

I have had several of my adwords accounts paused due to violation of adwords policy on forwarding and th edestination URL not being the same as the domain name.

How do others do this and is a program available to somehow comply while still forwarding a domain ?

My primary website for my brick & morter business uses a template that is a hosted solution. I forwad my company name ( domain ) to the hosted solution that does not have my domain name in the URL....this is NOT a site linked to programs to make money such as Amazon, ect....my ads have been stopped after more than 5 years which amazes me.

Any help-ideas-suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Enterpryzman ( Michael )

I had the same problem. I wonder if G has caught on to domain forwarding.

If it isn't an affiliate link, just mask the forward and you are back in business.

If it is an affiliate link... got me. They like Adword links to go to your domain page and then you funnel the traffic to the affiliate link on your page while adding value and content. Depending on copy, the extra step can make a huge difference between being profitable or not.

Not sure how to mask ?

Godaddy has a masking option in their domain name manager's forwarding section. I'll have to test it out.
