Affiliate Marketing is always in a state of flux, what worked yesterday doesn't do as well today. However this change also separates the men from the boys ( women from the girls) and only the most persistent and flexible succeed.

This method (direct linking) worked well several years ago (when this tutorial was first written) but as usual things have changed and many article sites are a bit smarter and catch forwarded domains. With that being said this can still prove to be a viable method to start out with and in fact it is something that still drives traffic to my own Wealthy Affiliate Link (www.realwealthyaffiliate.com).

And remember, once you have the skill to create your own website (that is why you are a WA member) you can disable domain forwarding and point traffic to your hosted domain with a couple clicks of the mouse. All your previous work, writing articles and posting back links will now send traffic and link juice to your new site.

The following sequels to this tutorial are still very powerful, even if you decide to upgrade from direct linking to hosting your own website.

What you will not need:

No list or list making skills!

A way cool domain!

A way cool domain!

A way cool domain!

You will need to register a way cool domain to make this work.

It is the most important step of this Newbie Jump Start technique.

The first step is always the most important!


What do I mean by a way cool domain?

Well if you were promoting the membership here at WA for example then a way cool domain would be:

Get-WealthyAfiliate.com

Buy-WealthyAffiliate.com

WealthyAffiliatePlan.com

YourKeywordphrase.com

eYourKeywordphrase.com

myYourKeywordphrase.com

YourKeywordphraseInfo.com

YourKeywordphraseTip.com

You want to have your product name (or your chosen keywords) in your domain name and be sure to purchase a ".com" or ".org" and not some other type of domain. The fact is that people remember .coms the best and you want them to remember you. If your chosen keyword phrase is not available adding an "e" or "my" in the front or something on the end like "tip" or "info" will get you a keyword optimized domain and the Google love you want.

I use to purchase domains. You can use whoever but this tutorial will be referring to my experience with GoDaddy.

I've just signed up here and am intrigued by this method to help me pay for subsequent months with WA, but I was wondering is the godaddy domain absolutely necessary? Couldn't I just use the hop link and post it in forums to drive traffic without the .com? Or should I be utilizing other methods?

Again, brand-new here so any insight would be great. =)

I created the link and I think it is off and running. However I did not go to click back to put it there. I noticed that you mentioned click bank but I didn't see the instructions to list it there. Did I miss something?

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANKS FOR SHARRING SO FREELY!!!!!

To VirusTechLive,
Make sure you have your domain name spelled correctly. Sometimes we register it different than we are thinking we did. I don't get anything with WAELTHYAFFILIATE.COM... I'm not sure why you would end up at the order/signup page. You will need to go back and redo the links you entered in the fields. Be sure you are working with your raw affiliate link and the correct my-linker.

Do not use domain masking. Send me a PM if you need more help.
