By far the most common reason for a destination URL to be disapproved
or to return a 'page not found' error is that a tiny (and un-noticed)
error was made when the URL was entered into the system.
Even the tiniest error, such as a space, a repeated character,
transposed characters, a missing character, a non-standard character
etc. will result in the URL not working. And, over the years I've
noticed that folks are so familiar with their own URLs that they can
no longer 'see' them accurately when typing and proofreading them.
For this reason, I suggest that advertisers copy/paste the URL
directly from the intended landing page into the entry box in your
AdWords account, rather than type it 'by hand'.
Perhaps the second most common reason is a repeated 'http://' at the
beginning of the URL, like so:
http://http://brokenURL.com
Assuming you have a Standard Edition AdWords account, here is how you
