The display link is shown in the Yandex search results. Several formats of Yandex Advertising Network ad blocks also include a link that displays if they are placed in a block.
Display links can be added to “Text & image ad” campaigns, and will automatically be created for “Dynamic ad” campaigns. You can't edit the link or control whether it is shown.
How to add a display link
You can add a display link when you create or edit an ad. The Display link field shows up automatically after you add a link to your website. You can use the field to enter your product name or user's search terms. You do not need to specify the domain. The maximum length of a display link is 20 characters (excluding the domain).
The display link text can contain only letters and numbers. The language of display link text doesn't have to match the language of the domain. The following symbols are allowed: “-”, “No.”, “/”, “%”, “#”. If you enter a space or a “_” symbol, it will be replaced with “-”. Any other characters will be deleted. Repeated characters “-”, “No.”, “/”, “%” will be replaced by a single character.
Make sure that the display link meets the moderation requirements. If the display link does not follow the guidelines, the moderator will reject it and it will not be shown in ads.
A display link can be used with templates. The part of the display link where you want to insert keywords should be marked on both sides with “#” symbols. If there is a space in a keyword, it will not be replaced with any symbols when inserted in the display link.
You can add a display link to multiple ads simultaneously by using XLS/XLSX files, batch changes in multi-editing, Direct Commander, or the Yandex.Direct API.
