Ad Issue(s): Inaccurate Display URL

I've read that direct linking is not desirable but I didn't know it would halt a campaign?

Is there new news on this someone is aware of that they can share ASAP?

Thanks,

    nothing to share with you that they didn't just teach you
    All of your url's now need to match the domain the user ultimately ends up on (so redirects like cb hoplinks will halt your campaign).

    Direct affiliate linking has been frowned upon for some time.. better to have your own landing page.

    I read this news a few days back because I had this exact same problem, I can't post the link here since my post count is under 15 but come February 24th, there are some changes for display URLs.

    Here's the news:

    A change to our display URL policy
    Beginning the week of February 24, we'll implement a change to our AdWords policy regarding multiple display URL domains per ad group. Please read on to determine whether your AdWords account will be affected by this change.

    In an effort to provide more relevant results and a high quality experience for our users, we've made the decision to disallow multiple display URL domains within a single ad group. Going forward, all display URLs within an ad group must have the same top-level domain. Please note that this amendment to our policy applies to all advertisers, regardless of previous exceptions or acceptability of any ad groups.

    *Message truncated* - So no links allowed. Go to adwords.blogspot dot com to read more.
