Display URL for Overture Keywords

How do you get Overture to display a URL that is different than Dest. URL?

Does anyone know of a way to have Overture display a URL other than the truncated one they use from the Destination URL? I'm using a tracking server and would like my customers to see "www.company-name.com", rather than "www.tracking-server.com". Google has this option built into their backend interface... Overture, no luck so far. Anyone have any tricks or tips on this?

Thanks!

I believe overture calls this "masking". Send the customer support an email. If you have an account rep give them a call.

I asked the same question to my rep last week to get rid of an affiliate link in the url... it was actually showing up as an IP address.

You could set up a nifty PHP redirect such as www.yoursite.click.php?id=324234
which would then redirect to the tracking server, log the click under that ads campaign ID and then redirect as normal to the relevant page on your site.

Or you could just ask them, as suggested ;)
