I'm not really into affiliate marketing and I want to give it a try. My question is, especially for those who are successful.. How do you guys choose a domain name for promoting a product? Do you choose a specific domain name like for example you're going to promote a "Nike Shoes" product. Example - www.cheapnikeshoes.com" Or, you choose to make it more general like "www.cheapshoes.com" Pls. let us know the advantages and disadvantages I want to know your inputs regarding this before I start. Thanks!
This one depends on the way you like to promote CB products. If you like to promote only a specific product by using your website/blog then the product review domain name is good, like power4homereview.com. Otherwise if you have intention to promote any specific niche related products using your blog/site then choose the niche related domain name, like homepowerblog.com.
If you are targeting nike shoes then use this term in your domain this will definitely boost your search engine rankings. So you get more traffic who are interested only in nike shoes and if they get an offer to purchase they are more likely to buy.
Problem with that is for example.. Nike shoes pulled out their contract on clickbank and decided to just sell it only on their stores.. The domain will be useless then compared to a mor general domain name right?
It's better to target a certain keyword in your domain. You can change your affiliate network, you can use the above domain to promote products through Amazon, CJ, ebay and others..
