I have a primary domain, let's call it company.com for example's sake. Under this domain there's a wordpress installation running where i am currently working on my "main Site".

I also currently have an AdWords campaign being run by an agency under a different domain, let's call it company-landingpage.com.

The Agency also uses a WordPress intallation on their part, with a custom developed template which is different from the template etc. on the main site. I would ideally like to also use the company.com domain for AdWords in such a way that for example a redirect from company.com/ads would show the contents from company-landingpage.com.

Doing a simple 301 redirect or such would most likely not be in accordance with the Adwords terms and conditons.

Is there any other way to accomplish this? The behaviour i basically want is that a user which enters company.com is landing on the "main site" i.e. wordpress installation 1.
Users which enter company.com/ads would be shown the contents from the agency landinpages i.e. wordpress installation 2 which doesn't reside on the main site's server but on the agency's server?

Like i said it shouldn't be a simple redirect but it should rather behave as if it was possible to do a CNAME from company.com/ads to company-landingpage.com meaning that the URL in the users adress bar should still read company.com/ads.

Using subdomains would be the obvious choice but not the most aesthetically pleasing. Is there any clean way to do this? I'd be super thankful for any input and will provide clarifications in case my description was confusing.
