Unique URL is off for some terms.

I have found a few terms where the "one unique URL per search term" rule does not apply. Here is an example so I am clear.

Search for "example" and adwords displayed are:
Example.com
Example.com
Example.com

I have to say Google's look now is superior as it looks very odd to see the multiple ads with the same URL. Very interesting that it is not some global command.

PS I informed goolge of this.

There are some sites that house business profiles or multiple company's information on a single domain. In these cases when it's different companies that are sharing the same root domain, but do have different accounts/businesses, then Google will make an exception to the one domain per search rule.

There are other times when it's people trying to get around the rule, which needs to be reported/fixed.

It is not some exception and it is not cheaters. My google rep could not beleive it either.

I looked at this term and found out exactly what is going on.

While the display URLs are the same, the landing pages are all different as they're all using CJ destination URLs (which then redirect to the same page).

For some reason, Google seems to have missed this one.

Been a while since I've seen the top 6 ads all go to the exact same page - think Google needs to work on the display URL/destination URL coding some more.

Pretty crazy looking. :) It does point out the cleanness that was created in January.

They fixed it.
