Landing Page Work-Around

You can always use a 301 redirect as a work-around if you own a domain and have access to the .htaccess file (you do if you have cPanel).

Simply download it from your webserver to your computer, add the line(s) for the redirect(s), and re-upload them.

Here is the format. Let's assume your domain name is Good-To-Know.com, your clickbank ID is everad20, and you want to promote the aforementioned Clickbank product. You would add the following line to the end of your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /googlecash http://everad20.googlecash.hop.clickbank.net

And then re-upload it to your web server.

Now you'd simply use the following URL in your AdWords campaign:

http://www.Good-To-Know.com/googlecash.

The nice thing about this system is that if you decide to build a landing page later on, all you need to do is delete the line from your .htaccess file, add a folder named "googlecash", and put your landing / review page as "index.html" in that folder. Any old references to the URL (such as this forum post) that anyone stumbles upon later will automatically go to your new landing page.

I'd go the extra step and build the landing page. That way, you're 100% safe, and you can do more there (such as make an opt-in page, do a bit of pre-selling, etc.).

Here's hoping that you build a steady income from AdWords and affiliate marketing (mine is growing slowly but steady).
