          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 to

                According 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!

                -- Jeff

                  How to know competitors keywords for adwords

                  I want to run google campaign for adwords and I want to target keywords that my competitor is ranking for. How can I know what are the keywords that are helping my competitors the most. Is there some way so that I can know what my competitor is bidding for those keywords. I heard it also depends on the landing page quality. Please suggest the best strategy to run adwords at lower cost and yet perform well. I am willing to run campaign for this website .  It is basically meant to connect manufacturers representatives and independent sales reps to businesses. Any suggestions are welcome.

                  AdWords quality score of landing pages and subdomains popularity

                  Hello, I have an AdWords account whose landing pages point to (i.e.) http://www.domain.com/landing01.php I've  been using this account for ages, it has a good score and history, so I want to keep it. The first question is: may I use landing pages on different subdomains within the same AdWords account (and in the same root domain)? I.E. (http://cheese.domain.com/landing01.php and http://wine.domain.com/landing02.php) 2nd question: the www subdomain has good subdomain metrics (authority /trust and, generally, links) while the "cheese" subdomain has not (no backlinks at all). Do I get any benefit in Adwords (like quality score or other) if I publish my landing pages under a subdomain with better subdomain metrics (or number of links)? Or should I just go with http://cheese.domain.com even it has no authority at all? Thank you, DoMiSoL Rossini

                  Can I dynamically add city name to my PPC ad text and URL based on the user's search?

                  I have looked into DKI (Dynamic Keyword Insertion), but have not found a solution and thought that some excellent Mozzer might be able to help.  Here is the idea: We have landing pages for hundreds of cities.  The local content on each of these cities changes page to page, however the keywords that we are going after are the same.  So, I am trying to create a dynamic ad group that looks something like this: Headline: {City Name} {Keyword} Description: We cover {City Name} {Keyword}, get more info now! URL: http://www.website.com/{City Name} Please let me know if you can assist with this, B

                  Adwords: Brand ads appear bottom of SERPs

                  Hello, I'm running a sale promotion on a brand only Adwords campaign (I have the only account with trademark authorization) and have noticed that my ads are appearing at the bottom of the first page on Google. This happened last week so I split the campaign into three Adgroups and that fixed the problem but today I'm running brand only and there is no way to separate them. CPC has also increased dramatically. Normally it's less than 10 cents and now it's sitting at between $2-$4. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas/advice on how to stop this happening? It's playing havoc with my CTR and conversions. Much thanks,
                  Davinia
