    Hi Shreyas,

    I don't see why not, Adwords don't like repeated affiliate sites but don't disallow them, I believe your site will just not be viewed as often as it would if it was a stand alone site and as long as it isn't a gambling/lottery type related site I really don't see the problem, do you have your own Blog for instance to place the affiliate links into? as this would be preferred to a repeated link site direct and would afford you a better Adword Ad Campaign...

    Good Luck with your Program...

    I would suggest you try it out for now, make 4 or 5 Ad Campaigns each with a few keywords to test the water with them, I just saw your site and I really don't see a problem with using an Adword Campaign, do you have a redirected URL to use?

    I saw the site just by typing the name in Google, there is also a Logo competition from what looks like the owner in the Competition thread... Looks Good...

    ShRYas, the HG affiliate program can be very lucrative. I amke about 2.5k from that alone per month. Believe me, I see it happening every day, affiliates using the whole "aff link in destination url" method to drive traffic.

    Been there, done that and I assure you, it's very difficult to make work. Not saying it cannot be done, but there ARE better ways.

    PS: There are a few other hosting companies that offer slightly higher payout than HG.

    Cianuro,

    Im curious what type of angle do you use to promote web hosting?

    I see a handful of sites with the top 10 reviews, as well as coupon sites

    You use this or some other strategy ...

    Hi Cianuro,

    Mind telling us what the other ways are to cloak the link?

    Thanks
