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 Conversions - Trying to track button clicks that fire when Bootstrap modal contact form clicked/opened
Hi there, I'm trying to implement google adwords conversions on a particular client's website. They have used bootstrap as the framework for their site and mainly open up contact forms within a bootstrap modal, after a button is clicked. See here: http://www.gtwstorage.co.uk/ I thought I had successfully implemented the adwords conversion tracking however it has been a week now, and my conversions still say they are "unverified". I wonder if anyone else has encountered this before and knows what I might be doing wrong. Thank you in advance, Darren

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!

Does having redirects in a Adwords text ad destination URL hurt quality scores?
I recently noticed that one of my clients had several redirects in their Adwords text ad destination URLs. I updated the destination URLS to land on the final location (thereby losing all the text ad history). However I'm wondering if this could have any impact on the text ad quality scores (none of them were disapproved).

AdWords training resources
Hi guys, Aside from Google certification, can anyone suggest a good training program for Adwords? I'm studying their materials, but more formal training, where I can be tested in my knowledge and improve in certain areas as necessary. I want something with videos with demonstrations. Going from organic SEO to SEM and am frightened! Thanks,

Does anybody know of a good bulk import http response checker? The one I was using has disappeared and I can only find checkers that only take one URL at a time.
An example of something I'm looking for but I want to check multiple checkers: http://web-sniffer.net/
