Quick Question: Anchor links on Adwords main URL?
-
Is it OK to use anchor links on the main URL of an advert on Google Adwords?
Example: www.example.com/#example
Had a little Google, and not much was returned on the topic.
Many Thanks,
Alex

Jeff - I am referring to destination URL only. Thanks
Linda - Good find, I will give it a try.
FYI - It's a one page site, we're trying to break up where possible.
Thanks.

I have never done it, but Adwords has a policy about it, which makes me think you can do it:
"Links to anchors or fragment identifiers on the same page count as the same page." (from https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1054210?hl=en)
*edit
I am referring here to the destination URL, not the display. -
For Adwords, there's two different URLS you need to know about:
Display URL: what shows up in the ad at the bottom
Destination URL: what page the end user actually is taken toAccording to Google's Adwords Policy here:
https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/6021546?hl=en"The display URL for your site cannot be an IP address (such as 123.45.678.90) or use non-standard characters (such as !, *, #, _, @)."
Hope this helps!

Adwords View Through Question
Hi Mozzers! I've got an Adwords Remarketing account performing well in terms of View Through Conversions but not regular 'old Conversions. We are getting about 10x more View Throughs than regular Conversions. Is this close to typical or in the expected range? Any suggestions about how to trade these around, working towards getting more regular conversions and less view through conversions?

AdWords & Iframes?
We have a client that has syndicated content across a variety of domains. They have no access to the domain/hosting for the site that the content is being syndicated on, but would like to run PPC campaigns to these pages. The page is a header, footer and then the main page content is inside of an iframe, and I was wondering if Google will even allow that to be used as a landing page for a PPC campaign? Thanks!

Adwords Keyword Research - Simplifying Process
So far here's my algorithm: I will make an excel spreadsheet with all of our currently optimized keywords (about 300 I believe) I will grab all the keywords possible out of the adwords keyword tool I will merge the adwords keyword tool keywords with the 300 on the excel spreadsheet and erase the duplicates. I'll drop what's left over in exact match into a google adwords campaign I'll then use the + modifier with brand names and with two word keywords such as +brand +keywords +here Will this algorithm find all of the keywords, or am I missing something?

Is a $100 adwords credit appropriate here
Hello, A long time ago we set up an Adwords campaign for our company on my sister's personal Adwords account. My sister would like us to set up a new account under a business email for the new Adwords keyword research we want to do. Is using a $100 coupon appropriate for our new account? I honestly don't want to use it if it's against Google's policy. And is there anything else I need to keep in mind as far as fees or requirements in setting up a new account and/or using the coupon? Thanks!
