Alright guys so I'm trying to setup a Bing ads campaign with a direct link to a Max Bounty campaign. Of course if I put in the Max Bounty link as the display and destination URL it will change when the user clicks to the affiliate website thus getting me an unapproved ad. Anyone know how I can fix this? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    Bing does not allow naked affiliate links particularly from CPA networks.

    One of the best way to resolve it is through the use of a lander.

    Bing does not allow you direct linking.. so use an optin page to drive traffic to an offer

    For the destination URL, you should put the URL that the user will land on after they've clicked your ad. Is that what you put?

      I think everyone answered the question, but if I put the landing page URL I'm concerned it won't track in MaxBounty thus defeating the whole purpose as I won't get paid.

        You can still get paid by using a lander.
        As long as you placed maxbounty link within the lander, it will be fine.

  • I direct link all the time in Bingads. It's 100% allowed.

    You need to ensure for the display URL that the affiliate link lands on the same domain and you are good to go.

    Now.... There are lot's of things that can go wrong and if you are promoting a product that violates their advertising policy then the account is at risk.

    In many cases the URL may not re-direct properly for the Bingads bot and this can cause issues. Affiliate offers for instance might have a re-direct in there that is based on the country or operating system for example

    If this is the case then you will need to setup the link through a tracking program such as Vollum and setup rules so ALL users get through to the final URL.

    I've done some direct linking of CB offers raw affiliate links without a problem. I even asked their staff via phone and they said it was fine. I'd double check landing pages though to make sure it's not a low-quality offer like a lot of the stuff on CB.

    I have been able to direct link with ClickBank products, but the MaxBounty links do not work. I tried to apply for an exception but it was not granted. You will have to create a landing page as mentioned above--If you are worried about tracking with a landing page, you can invest in some tracking software. I was using the free version of Prosper202, but you need to have VPS hosting. I had a couple problems with that. First, the free version of Prosper202 does not include any support, the instructional Wiki is fairly thin, and even when I finally had it all set up, tracking seemed inconsistent to me (based on other metrics that did not seem to line up). There are other options, all of which cost money. I'm trying a new one out now and we'll see.

    Also, if you are referring to the "free" survey-related campaign that is "gifted" to us on Bing Your Ads, good luck--if you follow that guy's instructions exactly, your ad simply gets disapproved immediately. If you follow the second survey-related recommendation exactly, that also gets disapproved. Neither one will be accepted by Bing even if you apply for the exception. If you follow that guy's recommendation for the one clickbank product, your ad will run and you will get some views--I have yet to make a sale even following his exact ad copy, keywords, bidding strategy, etc., probably because it's the end of the summer in many places in the US, so sales are likely down, which is likely why he was so "kind" to let us have it. Maybe early next spring run it again though.

    Hey, guys, how are you?

    AdsBridge has full-set of options, so, you can set a campaign with direct linking, or use LP, as well as distribute traffic by GEO and other 16 parameters, all landers created on AdsBridge are hosted on our end, but you can also add a self-hosted one or choose from available templates.

    Btw, AdsBridge has a template of MaxBounty affiliate network settings.
    Register and you'll see it in your account - File “AdsBridge - Next generation tracker and landing page builder! - Moz...” and after you select MaxBounty from trusted affiliate networks, you will see automatically generated postback for MaxBounty (sample - File “AdsBridge - Next generation tracker and landing page builder! - Moz...”)

    I'll be glad to help you with a trcking setup

    Days of Naked linking is gone. Once we could direct linking with Bing ads & clickbank. But, now bing is really super strict. But, you have some alternatives to do:

    # Create a Landing page (Best)
    # Create 1 click Squeeze page & redirect it to your offer page
    Ex: ClickFunnel, LeadPages etc
    # Cloak your link using tracker software:
    Ex: CPVLab, Prosper202
    # auto-redirect your offer page
    # use iframe offer for your lander
