Finance PPC - disapproved adverts

January 24th, 2007 by Zinc

This morning I logged into Adwords like normal and I noticed a lack of impressions / clicks so I started to sniff around wondering WTF is up… It seems that they have finally twigged that my display URL is not going where it says it is, so all of my ads are sitting in “disapproved” status, fair cop I guess but sheer laziness on my part.

I guess I need to actually do a bit of work now. My plan is to create a landing page on my domain and set a redirect to the merchant, I thought I had read this somewhere, does anyone know if this is allowed?

If anyone knows of a better way around all this please let me know?

    Can you just point it at the merchant, or is that againts PPC T&C? If you can then you should choose direct to merchant rather than a landing page any day.

    Hey Ian - my ads were not showing because the merchant was also advertising the domain. So I changed the visible URL and carried on going straight to the merchant and now here I am :(
