Google AdWords Display URLs for Hosted Domains Must Include Sub Domains

Hi,


Google AdWords Display URLs for Hosted Domains Must Include Sub Domains

A new, and logical, Google AdWords display URL policy was announced this week. In summary, if you are on a public, hosted domain, you must show the subdomain that you are using in your display URL. For example:

Incorrect:

Destination URL: http ://adwords . blogspot .com
Display URL: blogspot .com

Correct:

Destination URL: http:// adwords. blogspot.com
Display URL: adwords. blogspot.com

Incorrect:

Destination URL: http:// subdomain .wordpress.com
Display URL: wordpress .com

Correct:

Destination URL: http:// subdomain .wordpress.com
Display URL: subdomain .wordpress.com

There is discussion, not much discussion, but some, at WebmasterWorld and DigitalPoint Forums. As expected, the WebmasterWorld feedback, so far, is positive to this change, saying "this is how it should be." As expected, the DigitalPoint Forums feedback, so far, is negative to this change, saying "thats bad for adwords users." SOURCE & LINKS

***Note: I put some spaces in the URL's on Pupose...so they do not come up as 'live-links:.
