Re: Upgraded URL - Final URL Tracking templates
Hi,
Let me hook myself up to this question, as I find it very interesting.
Josh, does your second answer mean, that if I had the following final URL
set on ad:
*http://somefinal.com/shopping/?start_date=20150629*
and my *external* tracking tool will land on (finally redirect to)
*:*
*http://somefinal.com/shopping/?*
*?start_date=20150629stop_date=20150707*
(let's assume, that stop_date parameter will invoke some tiny change on
landing site)
will be accepted by Google? I mean, will Google disapprove this ad, as
landing URL and final URL are different? I understand that domain policy
is being satisfied here. Only the parameters are different.
And if Google will disapprove this ad (as far as I understand this similar
to Gopi's first case), than would custom parameters be a solution? So final
URL set on ad would be:
*http://somefinal.com/shopping/?start_date=20150629{_custom_param1}*
where* _custom_param1* is set to stop_date=20150707 on adgroup level,
and than tracking tool may land on:
*http://somefinal.com/shopping/?*
*?start_date=20150629stop_date=20150707*
and Google will accept such state?
Best regards,
Robert.

Hi Gopi,
I think I (finally) understand your original question. Based on what you
describe, I think you should be fine in terms of the domain check, provided
that your tracking template ultimately redirects the user to a site on the
same domain as your display URL.
However, if your content changes based on parameter values, you may
encounter policy issues if the content doesn't match the ad.

Josh,
Thanks a lot for your reply. But my final url Domain would be the
same irrespective of the parameters passed. So i have to give 2 final URLs
with and without parameters?
As per this documentation just the domain wouldn't suffice?
*Check your final URL* to make sure it meets these requirements:
* Domain:* The final URL that you enter for your ad needs to use the
same domain as your landing page's domain (the website where people
actually end up).

Hi Gopi,
It sounds like for your use case, the user may be redirected to *more
than one* final URL. In that case, you should include *all* of the
final URLs in the finalUrls collection
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/AdGroupAdService.Ad#finalUrls.
In fact, this is precisely why the *finalUrls* field is a collection
instead of a single value.
Regarding approvals, the approval process may mark an ad disapproved
after some time, so you should periodically check your account for
disapproved ads. You can do this either by retrieving the
AdGroupAd.approvalStatus
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/AdGroupAdService.AdGroupAd#approvalStatus
via AdGroupAdService
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/AdGroupAdService,
or by running an AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report
that
includes the CreativeApprovalStatus field
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report#creativeapprovalstatus.
I'd recommend the latter, since report requests are more lightweight.

Hi All,

Using Upgraded URL
Display URL: website.com

TrackingTemplate:
http://tracker.redirect/?param1=typeparam2=location
The user will land on local.website.com, but the based on the
parameter values passed my drop down or html text might be preselect or
change accordingly on the same page. Would that content change be
considered as Disapproved?
Please suggest, what content changes are allowed and what would
Google consider as content mismatch ?
Some of the Upgraded Ads shows up as approved and after 2 weeks they
are marked as Disapproved, how would we know if the upgraded Ad is
Approved
or disapproved? Do we need to check their status regularly?
Thanks
Gopi
