I have been doing some direct linking on the content network and have been getting slapped silly.. I have actually used some othere revelant landers instead of dl and still finding it hard to keep that qs up..

Are you doing dl campaigns currently?

Hey, I’m glad you touched on this Justin. The last week I’ve been diving into image ads. I’ve noticed that it takes a couple of days to get the traffic moving for them however. Maybe I’m bidding too low, but I usually get hardly any imps (less than 100) in my first day running them.

Alex, you can direct link on GCN. The display url and destination url needn’t be the same. As long as the destination url ends up on the display url domain after all the redirects, its fine. Google just wants you to clearly show the visitor where he’s going to end up after clicking on your ad.

A lot of people are a bit confused about d/l on google. It’s pretty simple, read this: http://adwords.blogspot.com/2008/02/update-to-display-url-policy.html

Good post Justin.

You say you can direct link on GCN?

I thought you have to match Destination/Display URLs and Aff Link kills that?

Also, what about a tracking like prosper202 with GCN direct linking?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for responding to my question Justin.

It was a bit strange for me to notice that there are really many resources about the Google Search (courses, classes, etc.) but relatively not so much stuff about the Content Network, and many people say that you should avoid the Content Network and just use search. The strange part is the fact that people spend much more time reading the websites than searching on Google, in other words � that’s where the real traffic is. So I just wanted to know your opinion.
