Base URL or Full URL?

Quick question with the new TOS

[kmander]

Can one affiliate promote Amazon.com/SciFiBooks and another Amazon.com/HorrorBooks - two landing pages for the same "books" keyword on the same base URL?

[FromRocky]

No. Both the landing URL's can be shown as Amazon.com as a display URL.

In which case, hypethetically, you could have a bunch of cunning affiliates who continue to promote eBay by each having a unique landing page that refers to their unique search query from within eBay.

I can't see this being the case and am lead to believe that Google only allows one domain.com per keyword rather than only one domain.com/landingpageA, domain.com/landingpageB... and so on.

I think example.com/landingpagea and
example.com/landingpageb will both count
as the same url, and therefore only one
of the ads will be shown per keyword search.

[AdWordsAdvisor]

I think example.com/landingpagea and
example.com/landingpageb will both count
as the same url, and therefore only one
of the ads will be shown per keyword search.

This is correct, as they have a single domain in common - namely, in this case, example.com

This is not a good way of dealing with things or well thought out.

What about, for ex:

keyword: advertising

now we don't know if they want adwords or adsense, so advertising is both in the adsense and adwords campaign for two affiliates, one doing affiliate marketing for adsense and one for adwords.

one has www.google.com/adsense as landing and the other has adwords.google.com/ as the landing page.

If I was searching for advertising I would probably want both so I could choose better. But I'll onyl get the one that costs the most, not eh most relevant one, which is what google wants, right? Relevance...?

[kmander]

Right! I appreciate Google are looking for an automated solution to a very complex problem. I can't really think of any better idea of dealing with multiple landing pages without allowing scope for people to abuse it.

Maybe what should really happen is for the Google bot to visit our landing pages, making note of relevance between content and keyword. If this is high, and the bot finds not duplication in content on the domain, then perhaps this indicates that another ad serving the same domain would be okay.

I assume that it will also consider all of these to be the same: google.com, www.google.com, adwords.google.com?

[MovingOnUp]

It looks like all of these are considered different:

ebay.com, www.ebay.com, and eBay.com
