Reg: Apr Hi dejal, You mentioned you have Norton security product from Comcast. Thanks, Katie. Kudos 1 Stats. I'm not blaming Norton, https is just what it is, a security port to keep prying eyes out. Hi dejal, Thanks for the update. I will report this to the team. Reg: Jan I have a similar problem. HTTPS prevents safesearch from sticking to strict.

On both IE 9 and latest Chrome. So, this looks like something that needs to be looked at. There's an article descibing it. Originally, you could disable the redirect but not any more. Reg: Sep This thread is closed from further comment. Featured sites on MSN, Sponsored sites on Yahoo supplied by Overture , paid advertising on many other sites, as well as banner advertising are all affected, as are many affiliate links.

I suspect that Google is working on a fix for this problem, as it only seems fitting to do so. Unfortunately I was unable to reach David Krane, public relations manager at Google by press time to get verification. Until a fix is announced at Google to prevent Norton from disabling AdWords links, there is little that can be done from an advertiser standpoint. My best advice at this time is to continue to focus on well-targeted ad copy.

Well-written ad copy is essential to draw the attention of the user, if you write an ad that is focused enough you may get the odd searcher that is determined to type your URL into the address bar, however, this is unlikely to draw much traffic. If you run an affiliate website and are concerned that your links are being blocked by Norton, I suggest contacting your affiliate manager to see if they have developed any solutions.
