Is it okay to have a redirect for Google AdWords? My merchant doesn't allow direct linking.

In the Google guidelines I can only find this:

"Your Destination URL must link to a working website. You cannot link to an email address or a file (ex. an image, audio, video, or document file that requires an additional program or application to open or run).
We require your Destination URL to link to an actual web page with content relevant to your ad."

Anyone have a good reliable and quick redirect code I can use?

Thanks.

Thanks for asking, Widestrides. ;)

Essentially, redirects are acceptable as long as the ad's Display URL accurately reflects the URL of the destination website.

Each ad is reviewed by a live human being, so this question is literally addressed on a case-by-case basis.
