Hey Cathy,
Am curious... why would you not simply use a Pretty Link to redirect to an MLM store instead of complicating issues by creating a subdomain?
No comparison Cathy.
Pretty Links is a plugin so that your link will show as coming from your website.
Bitly links come from their own website and are NOT a preferred link to use in redirecting from your website to ANY other website as that would be considered cloaking.

i prefer to have the direction at the front end of the site, ie party.sitename or shop.sitename personally I fell its clearer for the customer. especially in mlm people want a direct link to the store.
I know I've been off site a few years but I have popped in every now and then and I'm sure Kyle recommended not to use pretty links at one point.
Hey Cathy,
Don't think Kyle ever said to not use Pretty Link to redirect links. In fact, I'm certain Kyle has stated quite the opposite.
I realize that you may not believe me, and I get it... I mean, after all, who am I... yup... but Rob is well know for knowing his stuff.
Here's Rob's tutorial to prove to you what I've been saying and he explains "why" better than I have: What is Pretty Link

I did this. I went to SiteDomain, Go to Websites > Site Domains, and scroll the list of your domains. Add a Subdomain name, then use that site as domain forwarding to your MLM site. It's been a while since I did this, and it will take effect the next day. Domain Superpowers! Create a Redirect URL for an Affiliate URL on WA Domains It can work for other sites as well
fab thank you. I couldn't find anything in search but knew there would be lots out there for me to watch or read.
if I click the magnifying glass it gives me suggestions and nowhere to actually type a question :-(
ah found it up in the bar above. I was looking in the box that opened up for somewhere to search! You can tell I've not been on here much this past year :-D
I was top 10 a few years back but it all got too much and I took a step back. Now Im ready to take it all on again and rebuild and rebrand my sites
