it's pretty much the same thing... my point was you want the visitor landing on your site first before sending them to the vendor.
I guess I was just afraid that if I mess up my squeeze page then ill lose the potential buyer, rather than having them land directly on the vendors awesome site ya know?
You can fine tune the squeeze page with experience. Its pretty hard to mess it up. If all you are doing is redirecting traffic from the domain straight to the aff link, you are not really building a business.
Ya thats true. You are right! I guess the next question and hopefully the last (again thank you for all your help) would be what is the best way to create a squueze page? Are there templates or should I use something like Kompozer. I dont know any programming code or anything like that so thats not really an option for me.
Wordpress comes with many free/paid themes & plugins. You don't need to know any programming languages besides HTML, which is essential if you are working online.
Ok, well once again, thank you very much i really appreciate it!! Ill get started on that squeeze page Thanks for everything!
I'd set up all redirects as a 301, because all major search engines will index your site instead of the destination site. A 302, temporary redirect, is treated differently at different times by different SE's. Here's EXACTLY how I successfully use this strategy: I set up a self-hosted WP blog. Add a capture page or slide in with an aWeber signup form on Submit, the form sends them to a cloaked affiliate product link and adds them to an email list for followup. Best of Success! S
