AdWords - Send Click Directly to Offer Landing Page?

Hello, I am just starting out and have a question about AdWords and landing pages. Am I allowed to send a click directly to the offer landing page?

I am looking at a MaxBounty offer that requires a zipcode entry. I cannot see having my own landing page between the ad and the offer landing page for this simple offer.

I am worried about an AdWords ban when I'm just getting started.

Thanks,
Phil

Adwords is very picky when it comes to bridge pages (thats what they call landing pages), large part of them will get rejected by default. They also don't exactly love traditional affiliates and prefer to work with direct advertisers and "branders" the most. So in order to stay out of trouble, try to find offers that ... don't look like affiliate offers The best is to send traffic from adwords directly to the offer and the more "real" the offers looks, the higher chance of not getting banned.

Thanks Matuloo. Is BingAds considered this picky too?

Also, are suspect ads typically rejected first before banning an account?

Here is what I wanted to try. It's a CPA (zip code) offer for free samples of a name brand house hold cleaning product. The offer landing page looks very legit as the brand name and logo are prominent. I'm starting to wonder if they wouldn't like this either since I am not the "brand" sending the traffic. BTW, I planned to not use the brand name in the ad.

I'm starting to see why AdWords is not recommended for beginners.

Bing is generally way less anal when it comes to rules and affiliates, might be a much better pick for you to start with. They're not an affiliate heaven, but definitely easier to deal with than google (especially search).

Branding, logo ... that helps for sure, you should also have it on the banners. If you send traffic directly to the offer page with a limited amount of tracking tokens in the link, it could fly if it's a legit deal and looks pro.

Starting with Bing would still be a better idea.
