Referral Marketing and Domain Names



Referral Marketing and Domain Names

Domain names make your sponsoring site unique and they also provide other advantages.

You may have noticed that my BidForMyMeds [BFMM] sponsoring site has a link name of www.BidWebRx.com

This is a domain name I purchased from www.WizWebWorks.com for around $12/yr to use on marketing material. It is forwarded to my BFMM website: www.sunhutch.bidformymeds.com

The succinct form of the domain name [URL] helps people remember it if reading it on printed material and also makes it easier to enter if they are typing in the link in the address bar of their computer.

Once your domain name has populated the search engines, whenever someone searches for a key word or your domain name, it will turn up in the results for the search.

After you purchase your domain, you will be able to set up forwarding to any web-page you choose. You may also wish to mask the page, which simply means your new domain name stays in the address bar in the browser screen. I chose not to do that so people can see both my full name at the top right of the BFMM sponsoring page and also see my sponsoring ID in the address.

If you choose to use you sponsor link without getting your own unique domain name, then I suggest that you make the username as memorable as possible.
