For instance, my landing page is http://become-a-secret-shopper.com/GPSdeals. This won't fit, so I've been using the display URL: shopper.com/GPSdeals. I wonder if Google will create more space for the URL for those of us who have that sort of situation. [Keith Choy: First off, you got a nice website. :) Oh dear ... seems like you will be affected by this ... Personally, I don't think Google will create more space for the display URL in the near term. The reason is this has impact to all those Adsense Ads publisher out there. For example, if Google increase the length, it will reduce the number of ads that they can display ... plus, it get very difficult to read. Currently, this happen on one of my site too and I'm still thinking about it. If I come up with any findings, will send to my list again. If any of the readers to this blog have any suggestions, I would be glad to hear it too.] The problem I have is that my landing page URL is too long to fit in the display URL.

I am in total agreement with you, I think this is a great policy. I think the dispalyed URL and the landing page need to be the same. To often, adsense is used to "trick" the customer who ends up on a page that is totally different from the one displayed. This will definitely keep adsense advertisers honest. albert grande http://pizzatherapy.com [Keith Choy: I couldn't agree more with what you said about Adsense trick.] Hey Kieth, great post.

Now THAT'S going to upset an awful lot of affiliate marketers who link directly to merchant sites from their adwords ads! Looks like they might have to finally go do some work, get a web site and develop some half decent landing/pre-sell pages to work around this minor complication. Hope they enjoy that! Cheers Stephen [Keith Choy: Yap, it sure will. But if their display link and destination link are on the same domain, they should be fine. It is those don't follow the policy will be 'wacked'! :( ] Hmmm…
