Google AdWords Reminds Advertisers: Upgraded URLs Deadline July 1, 2015

google adwords urlsGoogle reminded us that the new upgraded URLs will be happening on July 1st.

Meaning, if you are still managing the old destination URLs with your AdWords ads, you no longer will be able to after July 1st.

Google said:

Destination URLs can no longer be edited or created. Any new URLs will need to be created using the new Upgraded URL fields.
Destination URLs will be automatically moved to the new final URL field for any ad groups in your account that do not contain cross-domain redirect URLs.2 In your AdWords account, you will receive an alert informing you of any remaining ad groups that were not upgraded.
Any ads with destination URLs that have not been updated to Upgraded URLs will stop serving in a few months. We’ll let you know 30 days before your ads stop serving by email and with an alert in your account.
