When I tried to 'forward' a domain to a hosting of another, I found that Google advertising somewhat objects to such a manner.

Why would this be?


I have what I call a 'website pair'. One with a .com for computer devices and a .mobi for mobile devices. As they both share the same MySql database tables, they must both be at the same web hosting. But I am not able to get both domains pointing to the same web hosting.

So naturally, I have the hosting be with the .com one, and just point the .mobi domain to a file like indexm.html

It works in every which way, so I am not fussed. Except for my advertising with Google.

The display URL in your ad must match the domain users will land on when they click on your ad. For example, if the website you're advertising is using the domain "example.com," your ad's display URL must also contain "example.com."

......
Requirements:

The domain of your display URL must match the domain of your landing page URL (after any redirects).

From Adwords Policies: Display URL

And shouldn't be in the Adwords Board? (Flagged to move)

Why would Google have this rule?

Why can they not accept forwarded domains?

The main reason is that the "Adwords Quality Score" relies somewhat heavily (70% - 80%) on the "landing page" URL and the words therein, plus the domain name of the landing page.
Which, by the way is the only thing at Google that genuinely does.

So people could subvert/improve the QS of a particular campaign by redirecting "QS optimised" display URLs to a single landing page that covered campaigns for different word/phrase sets.

Another is that "landing pages" for markets and sites that are banned from Adwords could be redirected from otherwise innocuous campaign keywords.

Ok. Thanks for that explanation Christchurch. You clearly know your stuff.

What Google search engine does, should not reflect on what Google advertising does or needs.

Although I can see the last line in your posts, I guess if I started off with a domain being used for a harmless hosted site, use that to get the trust of Google, then I can always tweek it so as to forward that to a totally different website which would be harmful.

Please be very careful about google adwords and set you landing page as soon as possible. Because google banned me for reason i never anticipated and since then i am banned. 4 years back i was ban and since than i am banned.

May I ask, what did you do, to get you banned?

There was a scam "Google Money Tree" and my client (Not knowingly. He was using adwords for 1st time.) become affiliate of "Google Money Tree"... and he was banned, he did not know that he as banned so he ask him to login to his account and see why adwords is not running. My mistake was i logged in to his adwords account........so bannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnned. There is no way to lift the ban
