Iframe the advertisers landing page?

[Fewleftstanding]

If I'm promoting an offer using Google Adwords, instead of using something like gardeningtools.com, could I use gardeningtools.myreview.com and iframe the advertisers landing page? How would this effect quality score?

Thanks

Google won't allow that (once they notice what you're doing).

Ah, thanks.

what about creating a page with real content AND the iframe with the affiliate landing page in it? it wouldn't be just simply framing another site...

I have done this quite a bit with Google aware of our doing so. I think you should be ok. If it is not, they will just stop showing your ads until you fix it, so no real risk.

I doubt they will disapprove your ad, instead your quality score will be in the toilet... Then you will want to change it when your minimum bid is like $.50 a click...

Just do it and see how it works out for you. Different people get different results - and personally, what you are suggesting works for me.

Do you mean a simple iframed page as Fewleftstanding asked about, or thegrin's suggestion of putting the iframe inside some other content?

This never got answered, and I think it was a good question. Does Google call off the dogs a little bit if there's some content in there along with the iframe?

If not, I guess the only way to make it work would be to cloak.
