Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

The keyword I want to use in my ad is trademarked, so they disqualified my ad. The trademark was specifically cited as the reasoning. I tried this across maybe 5 different ads. All disqualified

The thing I don't understand is that there are like 10 other advertisers who are actively using this "trademarked" word in their ads.

It's not like 1 scooted past Google, there's a ton of advertisers doing it. So how do I get past them or were they grandfathered in or something?

FYI... I tried dynamic insert to see if that could my "trademarked" word in the back door, but no luck. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Is there a Google Product feed company you've used and can recommend?

We're not looking for anyone to manage the Adwords end of it, just help set-up/submit the data feed.

I'm NOT looking for a free option, I'm looking for a reliable, efficient way to get the feeds set-up and updated.

Thanks!

Thanks so much! That answers my question.

Hi,

Thanks so much for your responses.

To clarify, as I said in my original question:
"There will be no attempt to optimize the landing page/no attempt to get the page to rank."

Adding NO FOLLOW makes perfect sense.

One follow up question...

I'm not sure if I would need the REL=Canonical if there's no duplication issue? Would NO FOLLOW be enough to handle any issues?

Thanks again,
MC

Hi there,

ISSUE:

I have a client who wishes to use a "doorway" page, but not in a spammy way. He would like to have a nice crisp URL for use in ads/brochures. The page is strictly a landing page (just with a separate URL).

DOORWAY/LANDING PAGE WILL BE:

Non-spammy -- There will be no attempt to optimize the landing page/no attempt to get the page to rank.

Strictly a vanity URL -- he likes the way a separate website looks in ads as opposed to a landing page on the existing website (i.e., www.websitename.com/landing page)

WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO:

I'm basically trying to figure out what the best things to do to protect his other sites (which are very high quality valuable sites which rank well) from getting punished.

STEPS I'M CONSIDERING:

Robots no follow

Separate hosting server

Different person's name on a private domain registration

Adding additional pages, so it's not a 1-page "doorway"

Many thanks in advance to anyone who would share their experience and help me protect my client in the best way possible. I've told him there are risks, but he still wants to go ahead.
