Many marketers are promoting
affiliate programs. Your program gives you an affiliate url such as
http://www.BigValueDepot.com/store/index.asp?affSponsorID&XXXXXXX
The problem with promoting an affiliate url is that many other
affiliates are promoting the same domain name.
In
this case it is BigValueDepot.com. Many major classified ad sites are
blocking these domains. They are not necessarily blocking the domains
because they do not like the particular program.
They simply
have filters in place to stop the same domain from being posted over
and over. They want to avoid massive duplicated ads.
Many Major Affiliate Programs And Redirect Services Are Blocked By Major Classified Ad Sites
The same is true for popular redirect urls such as Tinyurl.com and
Bit.ly. Forget about using these redirect services for your classified
ad campaigns. They are mainly blocked on most major classified ad
sites.
So
how do you get around this? Just get your own domain name and re-direct
your domain name to your affiliate url. When you place your classified
ad submit your unique domain name instead of your long affiliate url or
your blocked redirect url.
Your ad will get accepted by many more sites and it looks more professional as well.
The Answer Is To Buy Your Own Domain Name And Redirect Your Domain To Your Affiliate Site
You can get domains from most registrars for about $10. peer year. From
your control panel from your domain registration service you can choose
to redirect your domain to another url. In this case it will be your
affiliate url.
You can reserve your own domain name here.I
highly recommend you promote your own domain name instead of your
affiliate url on classified ad sites. You will definitely get better
exposure for your classified ad if you use your own domain name rather
than the raw affiliate url or a popular redirect service.
