MASKED AFFILIATE DOMAIN SECRETS

OK, in this lesson I want to show you how and why you need to get yourself your own domain for promoting any affiliate program...

First off, is there anything uglier or less desirable to click on then a yucky affiliate link? Especially one that has all sorts of tracking added to it. Plus people are getting more savvy these days and a lot of them know an affiliate link when they see it. The reality is that some people just don't like it when they know they're giving some of their money away to an affiliate.

So, the best way to combat this is to use a masked affiliate domain...one that is pretty to look at and is "easier" to click!

For instance, for an affiliate program I promote "Fat Burning Furnace", I use the domain http://www.thefatburninginferno.com

Just make it as short, descriptive, and enticing as possible.

PPC Usage

As you'll want to use this for your PPC ads so you can get around Google's policy of showing only 1 domain per ad on any given keyword at any given time, you MUST enable "masking" or use the "frame" setting in the forwarded settings in your domain registrar. If you don't, Google will stop your ads from running because your display URL doesn't match the destination URL.


The Other Computer!

Yet another reason to use your own masked affiliate domain to promote your affiliate links has to do with the fact that many people have both work and home computers. Here's a scenario that happens ALL THE TIME:

Let's say they see your ad at home one night and click on it. They get to the vendors site and are interested, but don't buy right away. Well, usualy the site will place a cookie on their computer telling them that the referral came from YOU, but you'll only get credit for the sale if that person ends up buying on that computer.

What happens when they go to work the next day and end up buying on their work computer? Well, the vendor still gets the sale, but your commission is gone..

So here's how to get your own masked affiliate domain:

1. Go to Namecheap.com or Godaddy.com, set up an account if you don't have one already, and search for a domain relevant to thee affiliate program you are promoting. It doesn't have to say the programs name in it, it just has to be relevant.

2. Once you've found a good one, bite the bullet and spend the $9, and go to your forwarding options. There, make sure to forward it to your affiliate link, and enable "masking" or "frame".

That's it! The domain is now yours. Use it in your PPC ads, squidoo lense, youtube video, hub page, landing page, and more and watch the sales roll in.
