TinyURL is a URL redirection service, just one of hundreds of this kind of service. It allows to create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires. I found myself surprised when I looked at the advertisement shown in the image on the left. How can Google AdWords allow redirecting URLs? I would like to know where I would go by clicking on advertisements.

Google AdWords Affiliate Policy

We allow affiliates to use AdWords advertising. Please note that we’ll only display one ad for affiliates and parent companies sharing the same Display URL per search query. We also monitor and don’t allow the following:

• Redirect URLs: Ads that contain Display URLs that automatically redirect to the parent company.
• Bridge Pages: Ads for webpages that act as an intermediary, whose sole purpose is to link or redirect traffic to the parent company.
• Framing: Ads for webpages that replicate the look and feel of a parent site.
