Adwords & Iframes, Outsmart your Competition
11. Dec 2006 | 4 Comments
If you’re new to Adwords you may not be aware of this simple little pierce of information:
Two Ads that have the same display URL will never show at the same time, only the ad with the most relevancy will.
This in itself proves a problem, especially for affiliates that are all trying to promote the same URL.
Lets say for example you are trying to promote PPC on Earners Blog here. Your ad may look something like this:

Now what happens if I’m already promoting Earners Blog myself? That means that we both can’t promote the same destination URL. The destination URL must be the final URL that the user ends up at which in this case is http://www.earnersblog.com
However, all is not lost. There is a way for you to still promote that URL:
- Firstly you need to have your own domain.
- Create a subdomain similar to the destination url (i.e. earnersblog.blogspot.com)
- Show a mirror of the original page in an Iframe
To show the original page in an iframe copy this code into an file called index.htm, replace the values to your own affiliate sites or the site you want to show in the iframe then place it in the subdomain.
Now when you set up a new creative in Adwords make your destination url whatever the subdomain is & also your display url will be the same. Now you can compete with other affiliates without worrying about CTR & your ad not showing.

This will work until a human editor will find it.
In some cases that means never, but it’s not 100% full proof method

Hey there, I was wandering whether you could assist me with my iFrame problem? I am trying to develop a website that is hosted by IIS on a win2k3 server. I have one page which has an iFrame embedded which links to another website hosted elsewhere. The problem is, the iFrame/website I am trying to display requires authentication (login and Password). Is there any way to pass login credentials onto the other site via an iFrame? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated! Cheers

afaik the human editorial normally happens within 48 hours. So a lot of people just use the normal redirect then after 48-72 hours put up the Iframe redirect.
That’s also how a lot of people get around the “no popups” rule.
