Many affiliate programs will limit the keywords you can bid on. They will usually have a list of protected keywords and non-compete keywords. Protected keywords can't appear in you PPC ad anywhere with on exception neither can you bid on them. Non-compete keywords are keywords you can't bid on. The exception I mention just a minute ago has to do with the display URL in the PPC ad.
The display URL in a PPC ad is the actual URL the ad viewer will see not the actual target URL they will be directed to upon clicking. When you create an ad you enter the actual target URL and then enter the display URL. Some affiliate programs will block you from using their URL for the display URL. Many programs though will allow you to use their domain. The advantage of being able to use the target programs actual URL as the display URL is great as it saves you the cost of a domain in the niche and increases your CTR because of name familiarity and trust.
So when you are looking for a good program be sure to check on whether or not they allow you to use their domain as the display URL in PPC ads. What are some things you look for when you are choosing a program? Have you ever done affiliate marketing via PPC ads before? Would you like to make money affiliate marketing even while you sleep or are on vacation?
