In Adwords PPC must the browser display URL match the landing URL?
- SEO |
1. I know the domain part of the adwords display url must match the site the visitor is sent to and the rest of the url display url does not have to match.
2. I know that the destination URL must match the domain of the site you are sending the visitor to but not sure of the rest of it..
So here is the question can the browser URL that is visible upon arriving be different from the destination URL logged at adwords...
For example:
display url...mydomain.com/apples
destination url... mydomain.com/index.php/?apples_100049
browser url........mydomain.com/adwords/?apples_100049
See above the domain remains the same but the apparent subdirectory has changed from the root to the adwords directory.
I have read till I am blind for the last year and I cannot to the life of me remember coming across the answer to this very specific question.
This is in no way any form of cloaking, as a human or a spider will receive the identical content.
The six digit attached number is for tracking the individual keywords which is definitely authorized but just not sure about the change before the ? mark...
Has anyone ever done this for a long period on adwords and not had a problem.
Course most of you will recognize the switch done via the old standby htaccess which google is sooooooo familiar with.. and I don't think they have a problem with it... but might piss off the visitor as he is now at a different page...
