What to put in DisplayUrl in AdMob promotion?

Question

I know it sounds and actually is stupid. I am trying to promote my app with AdMob. In the promotion form there, I put

 URL: market://details?id=com.xxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx
 DisplayUrl: ????

Whatever I enter for DisplayUrl, system is giving me invalid format error.

I have read the guidelines http://helpcenter.admob.com/content/content-guidelines#displayURL but it does not help at all. Can someone help me?

UPDATE: I fed up with that option Text & Tile and went with image option with which I can upload my own image and be done with it. So much for 1 cent/click saved.

I don't know if this helps you, but I was having the exact same problem, which I might add, was very frustrating! :-P

I believe what they're looking for, for that field (which they should really explain BETTER), is they want a url to a website, that a desktop browser can go to. Like for example...

       URL: market://details?id=com.xxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx
DisplayUrl: play.google.com/store

Now please keep in mind, I tried adding both http:// and https:// and got the same

There were problems with your submission. and Invalid Display URL format. error

I know that fixed my problem! :-)

Honestly, since I'm sure at least 60% of ads are to the Google Play Store, I think they should really suggest that, or maybe give an alternative suggestion. Since they are such sticklers on the format, they should give us more guidance, and maybe an example? :-P

I hope that fixes your problem :-)
