Howdy!
I would like to start a campaign in Google Content Network only. I would like to know your opinion about this. Is it ok to have the display URL the same as the destination URL, but making the destination URL a redirect to my merchant site?
I don’t want to be punished by Google right from the start?
Please, let me know if I can do it.
Thanks in advance.
Francisco
franciscoQ,
According to Google’s policies, as long as the domain of your display URL matches the domain of your landing page (even if the url is redirected to another page on the same domain) this is fine. If you have a URL that is different from your display domain, they will not allow the ad.
More info here,
Hope that helps,
Shawn
If you do it as a 301 or 302 redirect with htaccess google should pay no mind. If you use a meta tag refresh those can be considered more spammy.
Thank you all for your input
