Confused about AdWords. If I use Pretty Link plugin for Wordpress to make a Clickbank link "pretty", can I use this as the destination URL in AdWords as long as the Display URL is the eventual landing page?

Here is what I mean:

AdWords Display URL: www. SellersPage.com

Pretty Link / Destination URL: www. MySite.com/xyz/
(redirects to clickbank url, which redirects to www. SellersPage.com)

Eventual Landing Page: www. SellersPage.com


Is this allowed?

    pretty link ? does it wear a mini skirt and lip gloss ? your display url must be where it lands, so if i read it right yes yu can place an affiliate link in the destination url section, so long as it lands on what the display url is / says.

    Yes you can. As long as the eventual landing page domain matches your display domain.

    Can you add a subdomain (a keyword) onto the display domain, but there isn't one on the landing page?

    Example:

    Display: Keyword.SellersSite.com
    Landing: SellersSite.com

    Is this okay?
