Does adcenter still have that glitch?

When you use {keyword} for dynamic text in the destination url, does it still screw up if it's longer than one word?

found this in a blog:

When using the {keyword} paramanter; you can only use it for single word keywords. If they keyword is multiple words (in this example I’ll use ‘ewhisper blog’ for the URL ewhisper.net?{keyword}) the URL would become ewhisper.net?ewhisper blog. Notice the space? The space breaks the URL so the page will be ‘not found’. However, if you were to use the actual space code (%20), the keyword would have to be ‘ewhisper%20blog’ and since that’s not a word, it’s going to be disapproved. So, until adCenter fixes the spacing problem with keywords, don’t use this param in your link unless you’re bidding on single word keywords.
 


Why would it break your url as long as you are not using the keyword tag for the domain itself?

url.com/{keyword}
url.com/bla?foo={keyword}
etc.

always worked (for me at least).
