When I set up a ppc ad, I use my website software like frontpage, and cloak the affiliate link,
so that the affiliate site shows up with my own domain name showing in the browser window.
I also use the same domain name for the display url. Is this ok with google? I can't really tell from their tos if it is or not. I have been doing it for a while with no problems, but was told recently by someone it is against their rules.
Thanks Glenn

    As long as the activity itself is not illegal, I don't believe google would have a problem with this, and many people do this all the time.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    It's kinda a thin line really. Some may refer to it as a "Bridge Page", which is against their TOS.

    That is a gray area. Google doesn't allow ads on sites that are or provide PPC. In otherwords have members that sign up to get paid to click on ads. You may also want to go to google forum and get a direct answer from one of there employees. Hope this helps
