Upgraded URLs - Final URLS with AB tests

[Gopi]

Just checking if anyone is in the same boat in regards to Upgraded URLS with redirect templates

My current destination URL will be a redirect URL and A/B tests are mapped with the redirect URL, we can added new A/B tests for the same domain to the redirect URL dynamically in our internal application. So when the user clicks on the AD, user will land on the same domain (www.example.com) but based on the test we have content changes on the landing page.

Google suggests that both domain and content should be exactly the same between final and landing urls!!

Anyone have a similar issue?

Thanks

Hi Gopi,

I'm guessing this is related to our earlier discussion. Could you clarify what you mean by "final and landing URLs"? Just to be clear, the trackingUrlTemplate and finalUrls do not have to be in the same domain, but the displayUrl and finalUrls do have to be in the same domain.

The content does not have to be exactly the same, but it does need to be relevant for the ad. For example, if your ad has displayUrl with domain example.com and is for shoes, but your trackingUrlTemplate ultimately redirects the user to a finalUrl (landing page) on example.com for clothing, you may run into policy issues. On the other hand, if your trackingUrlTemplate redirects the user to page A on example.com or page B on example.com, but both pages are relevant for shoes, you'll probably be fine.

Thanks,
