Question on the affiliate links

Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by vitalbusiness, Aug 27, 2008.

    Does it really matter what affiliate links I choose?:

    www.jdoqocy.com
    www.kqzyfj.com
    www.tkqlhce.com

    etc.

    From your personal experience, do they all convert the same way? Also, do some of them report faster than the others?

    Thanks.

    Good morning VitalBusiness. I don't think it matters on the link type for how fast they report earnings. Mine convert quickly. But maybe that is just me?

    Good morning to you!

    Thank you for your reply. For some strange reason, I used to use www.jdoqocy.com but this time around I just copied whatever links came up. But then I thought, hmmmm... www.jdoqocy.com has always been working great, is there a huge difference among them? I guess not.

    Split Testing ALL the time with 2 options, this is one of the key strategies to improve the ROI.
    So just split test it and check it out. any answer will probably be right for some of the people vs others.
    Cheers

    All domains are exactly the same. The technical explanation is that they are all CNAMES (aliases) for the same server:

    www.qksrv.net. IN CNAME track.cj.akadns.net.
    www.jdoqocy.com. IN CNAME track.cj.akadns.net.

    ...and so on.

    I see. I guess my main question was are they all reporting what is earned as quick as possible? For some reason over the last 5 years jdoqocy.com has been the fastest reporting link for me. But maybe I am just biased.

    I think you are right, they all seem to lead to the same thing.

    Since all domains point to the same Akamai server (which distributes the request geographically for the fastest response), reporting will be exactly the same for every domain.

    I don't think the link matters but I would choose a mouse over javascript to hide the affiliate link when someone mouses over the link.

    I think all those links have the same speed. But although they're all lead us to the same thing, I would prefer jdoqocy.com.

    What's with the lack of English being used on this forum?

    As I mentioned before, they are all EXACTLY THE SAME. I also provided the technical explanation to back up my answer. There is absolutely no reason to split test the links.

    I dont think they are all the same.
    At least not in PR.
    jdoqocy.com (PR 4)
    kqzyfj.com (PR 0)
    tkqlhce.com (PR 0)

    But, who knows.......

    Why do you feel the need to bump a thread that is from the middle of last year to write something irrelevant? It's already been answered - all domains point to the same DNS entry - track.cj.akadns.net . My technical explanation is above in this thread. There's no question - they all function exactly the same, because your computer and ISP see them all as the same.
