Hi there,
I just had a use case for the {ignore} parameter in Final URLs. While
reading up on the documentation, it occurred to me that it seems to be
possible to use this parameter to circumvent Adwords policy by redirecting
to a different page for specific URLs.
As an example, let's say I use the same final URL for all my ads, e.g.
http://example.com/landingpage{ignore}?param={_param}
Then I set different values for the custom parameter _param in each ad,
some (or most?) of which trigger a redirect on the landing page that goes
to a completely different domain (not matching the display URL and offering
services that violate Adwords policies). It is my understanding that only
one specific value of _param would be crawled to check for policy
violations, as the {ignore} parameter indicates that the content always
stays the same.
Am I misunderstanding how {ignore} works, or are there additional
safeguards in place to ensure that the functionality is not exploited?
Thanks for any feedback and best regards,
Dorian
