Direct Linking To Geo Targeted Site

[PSU4Life]

I'm direct linking to an Australian offer and Google keeps rejecting the ad for the reason "Inaccurate Display URL". Google is seeing the site from a US IP and thus they are not seeing the real Australian offer since the affiliate network geo targets its offers.

I know I can make a landing page to fix the problem but are there any other ways around it? I guess I could make an LP to get the ad approved and then just redirect it to the offer page. Maybe there is an option I'm over looking in Adwords that tells them to look at the site from an Australian IP?

Google gave me the 'Inaccurate Display URL' message yesterday as well (redirecting a domain to an offer). You could try placing the offer in an iframe and adding some content around it.

Yahoo! still allows direct linking, for what it's worth. I tried the campaign there instead and it worked fine.

From what I've seen when I've tried to do the same thing (which hasn't been much yet, keep in mind): if you click on your link and it re-directs to a US version of your offer -- which happens often with ringtone offers and the like -- then you can use the .com version (not the .au version) of the URL as your display and Google will be cool with it.

Otherwise, you could always sign up for a new AdWords account and claim you're from the country you're targeting... I think that will work, but I might be wrong (correct me if I am, please).

If those don't work than an iFrame might be your best bet, as previously stated. Good luck.
