AdWords Answer

Read Question of Long Display URL In Google AdWords

Hello Jim,

Thank you for your email regarding your Display URL.

The Display URL for each AdWords ad is limited to 35 characters. As you mentioned, this character limit may prevent you from displaying the actual URL of your site in your ad.

You may consider using a shortened version of your URL, such as your homepage. Please be sure that your Display URL accurately represents your Destination URL, the page within your site to which users are taken via your ad.

Also, please note that your Display URL must be an actual web address, appearing in the form of a valid URL. It must include the extension (such as .com, .net, .org, etc.). It doesn't need to include the prefix (such as http:// or www).

For example, since the Display URL 'professionalwebservices.blogspot.com' is longer than 35 characters, I suggest changing your Display URL to 'prowebservices.blogspot.com.' As long as your Destination URL links to a page within the domain 'blogspot.com,' this is acceptable per our Editorial Guidelines.

After making any changes to your Display URL, save your ad. This automatically submits your ad back to us for review. We appreciate your effort in complying with our Editorial Guidelines.

You can review our guidelines at: http://adwords.google.com/select/guidelines.html
