Wealthy Affiliate has a pretty neat and tidy Domain Management system that allows us to manage all of our web domains we have hosted here.
However, there's a little feature that few people notice, but can provide a very powerful addition to the arsenal of tools we can use to make our lives neater and our sites even more useful.
Subdomains
What are Subdomains?
Well. think of subdomains as sub-websites. They are almost like secret doors you can add to your website to provide extra content. Typically, they'd be used for things like Forum pages and things like that, and you can even install another instance of Wordpress. but we're going to use them in the very simplest form.
To create a custom link to another web url.

Great and neat, Dave, thank you :-)
Just a little question, we have, as Premium members 25 domains, and although I use subdomains for different things, I believed that each of them would be considered their own domain, thereby being one of the 25. The way you said it, made me wonder if this is not so. It would be wonderful to have this cleared up because that would change a lot for me.
If you have the time, I'd love an answer :-)
Have a great, wonderful and prosperous day :-)
All the best

Hi - thank you, very useful. Just to note, you can't do this with Amazon links if anybody was thinking of doing this.

That’s true. Amazon have some pretty draconian rules! At least they operate their own url shortening service as part of Amazon Associates. However, whether affiliates continue to use them after their commission cuts remains to be seen.

Great idea, D...how fabulous...gotta try it out for sure.
Now, should I be concerned about any repercussions of any sort in doing this?
Can I post to FB, you know how finicky they can get, or any social media for that matter...and do you think your method is better than using a 'bitly shortener or even pretty links"...thnx for taking the time to reply.
With gratitude,
M

Hi Michelle,
It'll never solve Facebook's prejudice towards Affiliate Marketing. That's a real stick in the craw sore point with me, but there are so many better places to promote than FB anyway.
Any system that chooses to try to resolve the url is always still going to uncover the underlying affiliate link if it exists, but it just LOOKS neater.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/cmaclellan FB is OK with one off affiliate links in posts, but the moment you try to Boost a post with their ad system, or run any ad campaign, it throws a wobbly and prevents the ad from running. FB do not like affiliate marketers. LittleMama here had her FB group closed by them.

It's just neat. There are so many other things you can do with Subdomains as well as this (install forums and other stuff), but this is Subdomains in their bare-naked simplest, most useful form.
