DNS or URL

[Metaphors]

Hello All:

I am new to the forum, and wanted to revist a topic that a member posted a couple of months ago, but did not get any response.

What, if any, do you see as the pros and cons of using a DNS change or a URL forwarding when using PPC companies?

Appreciate any thoughts on the topic.

i prefer url redirection becuase i can change from say DS to sedo in 3 seconds and lose no revenue its good for testing
i use www.proredirect.com with no problems

Warning about header redirecting to trafficz

I recently switched a number of my domains from using trafficz name servers to my own name servers & then redirected to trafficz via http 302 redirection & the url they provided for redirection.

I found to my horror that although they served up pages relevant to my sites (*) they did not log any landings against these domains. Although I have no way of proving it I can only assume I lost a few clicks in the process.

(*) When I found I wasn't being credited with any landings I did what you'd expect & checked that my redirection was working as I expected.

if you see this.. when you bank a cheque from the US does it take your bank 21 business days (around a month) for it to clear?

I haven't had to deal with foreign cheques yet. I prefer paypal or other electronic methods.
