Does adwords allow clickbank direct link?

[bjacket]

Hi
I just want confirmation. Does google adwords allow direct affiliate link to clickbank products? I read somewhere that they don't but when I do google searches I see many blogs saying we can.
Please can someone confirm if yes or no?

I don't think you can use the direct link in Google Adwords.
You can rewrite it or use any cloakers to avoid commission theft.

Hi markov,
could I just use their url http://xxxx.providername.clickbank.com? Would they allow that?
Or can I just make a review page and have people have the chance to click on my clickbank affiliate link?
I mean what do people normally do if they want to promote clickbank products using adwords?

Last time I checked which it was about 6 months ago... they didn't allow it and if for some reason you would get by you would be hit with a very poor quality score. Yahoo allows it I think.

I found a old thread on the google help section but it's from 2009 and not anything recent.

For the URL that will be shown to people put the official domain URL. I'm not a adwords expert so don't take my response to seriously.

Some clickbank guru who is making high xxxxx$ figures per month told me you can send adwords traffic directly to clickbank vendors page but that just doesn't work because you will not get any sales at all.

Adwords >>> clickbank = wrong method
Adwords >>> your landing page + product review >>>> clickbank = correct method
