i'm experimenting with something a little different and need some advice. i have a ppc campaign where the target url is something like:
[mysite.com...] but such a page does not actually exist on my site. The visitor is redirected (401) to my all purpose landing page which is customized on the basis of that URL, to lend relevancy. my question is, will i get penalized by the ppc engines for this type of redirect? thanks,
ssling

No, they'll simply delete your target URL, as you have instructed them to do with the 404-Not Found response... :o Use a 301-Moved Permanently redirect -- this is an HTTP protocol [w3.org] matter.
