How will having a registered domain name help in marketing an affiliate product?

It seems that many new marketers come and go with the drop of a hat. They hear about this Hot new program that is making money by the tons and off they go to try the latest and greatest.

Unfortunately for themselves and legitimate marketers who stay with their products and invest the time and effort into actually building their business. These hit and miss marketers are leaving the impression with many consumers that "affiliate marketers" are just a bunch of wantabe web marketers or their Internet business is just a hobby.

And these very same consumers are asking themselves "Why should I buy anything from an affiliate site? Who knows if they will be here tomorrow if I should have a question or a problem."

Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying here. Do not register a domain name and promote the products as if they were your own. To say the least that would be highly unethical.

However, if you have invested the time and expense in registering your domain name, leasing web server space, and building your site to sell affiliate products. You will leave your visitors with an impression that you are a professional that will likely be here tomorrow and next week if they should have a question or need assistance. And please believe me when I say that on the Internet "Impression Is Everything". You do not have the pleasure of meeting your customer face to face so you Must Leave A Solid Professional Impression with your web site.

Other leading problems with operating strictly from a furnished affiliate site is every site looks exactly the same. The only difference is the code at the end of that Very long URL or web address. And who in the world can remember an address like http://www.famousaffiliate/cgi-bin/?yourfavoritename=12345 ?

Yes you can use one of the many re-direct services available to shorten you URL. And these do work in some cases (we have used several in the past with good results). If you are marketing your affiliate site with printed material and word of mouth a short name re-direct works great.

If your intentions are to market on-line and are investing time and money in building search engine position to your affiliate site the re-direct might not be such a great idea. As one of our many learning experiences, we invested several months into search engine positioning using a paid re-direct service. And it was really starting to pay off. We had achieved several top 10 and top 20 positions, and had 2 in the top 5 on major search engines.

The only problem, the re-direct service was one of the casualties in the dot com fall out. Guess what. We no longer had search engine positions, because the URL no longer existed. Just consider how you intend to use your affiliate site and everything will work out fine.

It is virtually impossible to get a search engine to index an affiliate site. Most affiliate programs have hundreds or even thousands of identical sites. Can you imagine the chaos if the search engines attempted to index every affiliate site?

The art of pre-selling is a leading technique used in selling affiliate products. You register your domain name, build your web site explaining how wonderful your Golden Widgets will make life for your consumer and when they leave your site and trip on over to your affiliate site they are ready to click the buy me now button.

Reciprocal linking is another great traffic builder. Your affiliate site will not allow you to add any content. To take advantage of this very effective traffic producing technique you will need your own web site.

Free web hosting is also readily available. The downfall in taking advantage of free web servers falls directly back to the creditability issue. Your visitor will come into your site and ask herself "Is this site going to be here next week if I have a question?". Without a doubt making the effort to own and operate your own registered domain will add creditability to your Internet business. And in today's marketplace you can find many very inexpensive web hosting packages that will supply your needs.

If you are totally overwhelmed or just not excited about spending the next several months learning all the ins and outs of writing content, keyword density, learning HTML and how to use FTP to put your newly created web pages on your server and then going to all the search engines to submit them every month. (And this is the short list for marketing on the Internet). ;-)

Site Build-It
The market is huge, and the need is intense. There is so much information all around. There are so many "one-of" tools here and there, many of them excellent. There is so much desire to build income on the Net.

And there are so many affiliates failing. Why?
Because, despite their desire, most people simply can't absorb all that info, pick a tool from here and a solution over there, combine it with a great idea of their own, master HTML, FTP'ing and Search Engines... and turn it all into a system that WORKS.

And NOW... they don't have to!
