Internet Marketing Tip
How to Effectively Shorten Long URLs (Website Addresses) If you're anything like me, you've got several website addresses (URLs) that you promote for various business ventures. The most common of which are affiliate programs. As you know, the affiliate URLs that get "assigned" to you once you've joined their programs are often long and unreadable ... certainly not suitable for any kind of online marketing. Here's an example. Let's say you want to promote a great new affiliate program that deals in widgets. You join the affiliate program and you're eager to begin marketing (advertising) it. Once you join, you recieve an email stating that your affiliate link ... the one that you're supposed to promote, is: http://www.widgets-r-us.com/r/af?id=12sfjwegt Yikes! Well there's hope. Here's a simple technique you can use to make your affiliate link, along with the program itself, more appealing. What you can do is simply acquire a new domain name, then set it up to "forward" to your original affiliate URL. For example, simply go to a domain name provider such as GoDaddy and register a new domain. Say, something like: http://www.MyWidgets.com Next, simply make your new domain "point" to your affiliate URL. GoDaddy provides a very simple way to do this. It's a feature called domain forwarding. All you do is click on your new domain name (via your online GoDaddy account) and tell it to forward to your original affiliate link, http://www.widgets-r-us.com/r/af?id=12sfjwegt It will all be up and running within a matter of minutes. All you then need to do is test it. Just open up a new browser window and type in your new domain name (in this example, www.MyWidgets.com) into the address bar and see if your affiliate website comes up. If it doesn't come up right away, give it 20 minutes and try again. Once your new domain name is properly forwarding to your affiliate website, you're ready to market your affiliate program to anyone and everyone using your new, clean & readable URL. |
