Title:  Search Engines BAN affiliate links! 


>  From the Desk of Eric Owens
>  VP of Business Development - NameStick.com


A question that I frequently hear from my clients is: 
"Do I really need to have my own domain name to
get my distributor or affiliate link listed in the 
Search Engines?"

The one word answer is 'YES.'.  First, many search
engines are 'truncating' distributor & affiliate
links (reducing them to the basic link, which is
often the company website minus the your distributor
or affiliate code), or even worse...
search engines are banning affiliate links, 
and blacklisting subdomains of the parent company
that contain certain obvious characters that
are not obviously part of the base site. 

Second, a very common practice is for your visitors
to just 'cut off' or remove the affiliate code from
the end of your link and just go directly to the
parent company and 'bypass' your rightful commissions.


The parent company still gets the same number of
sales, but your commissions go untracked. 

Fortunately, there is an easy way to overcome this.  


http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX


As a network marketing distributor and affiliate,
there are a number of reasons why having your 
own domain name is a must:


1) When you have your own domain name, the address
of your web site will be of the form 
http://www.EasyToRememberName.com. 

On the other hand, if your website is just a company
replicated website on one of the free servers, 
the address of your web site will be something like 
http://affiliatesite.com/cgi-bin/12345/IMakeMoneyOffYou.htm

Which of these two sounds more professional?
Which of these two is smaller and is easier to remember?
Which of these two would you click on?


2) The only way to make money online is to build
up credibility with your prospects and customers.

Having your own domain name is the first step in
doing that. Your customers will feel more comfortable
buying whatever it is that you are selling if you
have your own domain name. It makes your customers
feel that they are dealing with a large, 
established company, rather than with some
fly by night operator.


3) When you have your domain name, you can have
multiple email aliases of the form alias@yourcompany.com.

This allows you to assign different email aliases
to different functions, all of them pointing to
your actual email address. Hence, for example, 
for questions related to the products and services 
that you sell, you can have an email address like
sales@yourcompany.com. For questions related to the
newsletter that you publish, you can have an email
address like editor@yourcompany.com. 
For comments/suggestions about your web site,
you can direct your customers to
feedback@yourcompany.com or webmaster@yourcompany.com. 

Having different email addresses for different
functions not only makes it easier for you to
filter your email using your email client program
(Eudora Pro, Pegasus Mail, Outlook Express etc.),
but also gives your customers the impression that
yours is a large, established company with whom
it is safe to do business.


4) Many search engines give a lot of emphasis to
the home page of a particular domain.  

So, other factors remaining the same, a home page
of a domain will often rank higher for a particular
keyword than any other page. When you submit your
long, obvious affiliate link, your index.html
page is the home page of your site, but not of
that domain. In these search engines, your site
will find it very difficult to make it to the 
top 20 or top 30, let alone the top 10 for some
of the really competitive keywords. Just think of
the amount of traffic that you will lose if this 
happens.


5) Many major search engines are now refusing
to spider the web sites that contain obvious
affiliate coding.  

For instance, a link that includes these characters
backslashes, cgi-bin, and affiliate numbers or
usernames, would, until recently, have got the
infamous error message saying that too many pages
have been submitted from your site if you tried
to submit your site to AltaVista. 

While AltaVista now says that 'your URL has been
submitted for processing' if you try to submit
your site, rest assured that it will not spider
any site obviously belonging to affiliate programs
any more - even if it says that your site has
been accepted. Can you afford that?


6) You will also find it very difficult to get an
affiliate link  listed in a major directory like 
Yahoo!. Although Yahoo! will never admit that it
won't add a commercial site which is hosted by an
affiliate program, in practice, it will be a
miracle if you can get your site listed by Yahoo!. 
Listing your site with Yahoo! is difficult enough
even when you have your own domain. Don't make
your task more difficult than what it needs to be.


If you do not currently have a domain name to
promote your affiliate program, are you convinced
that you need one right now? 

The small fee that you pay per year for your own
domain name is peanuts compared to the benefits
that you get.  You can check out the availability
of domain names and register new domains at 

http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX


You can now also customize the Title, Keywords and
Description tags for your domain. This gives you
advanced search engine optimization for higher
search engine rankings.  Almost all affiliate links
are NOT indexed by any of the major search engines. 
NameStick Domains are.

"How *Affiliate Steroids* Beefed my Check from $80.20 to $3618.00"  - by Kevin Wilke.

'I've repeatedly announced Kevin as a top affiliate for
ilovemlm.com month, after month, after month…Kevin had a
record 90 sales in May - that's a fat $3,600 check...how
does he do it? Kevin uses NameStick for his ilovemlm
affiliate site' ~David Ledoux, President and Founder of
ilovemlm.com

>From the Desk of Kevin Wilke, Ilovemlm.com affiliate and Co-
Founder,NameStick.com.

NAME, I'm letting the cat out of the bag!

I am going to share with you EXACTLY how I grew my
Ilovemlm.com affiliate check from $80.20 to $3618.00. Bear
with me, this is going to blow your mind!

When I set out to create a more effective way to generate
larger commission checks for my affiliate income streams,
I had only two objectives:

1) Generate more money (duh)

2) Do #1 faster!

Pretty straightforward. That's how I am.

But don't confuse that with being easy - there is a big
difference between something being simple and it being
easy.

I started to brainstorm, and kind of like when George Lucas
created Star Wars, I spared no expense, and would allow no
technological barrier stand in my way. It was time to push
the envelope and create some waves! I ended up coming up
with a half-dozen things that would tip the scales
considerably in my favor and boost me light years ahead of
any affiliate marketer on the 'net.

Then I handed my hen-scratching hieroglyphics to my
programmer and told him to make it work...

After I picked him up off the ground laughing, and bribed
him with a Palm-Pilot fold-up keyboard (programmers love
new gadgets!) he went to work to create my masterpiece.

4 months and 25 grand later.....

Enter http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX!!! (trumpets blaring!)

Wait! Let me back up to the testing phase of my prototype
new service (before it had a name):

1) I looked for a lucrative affiliate program that had a
unique, top-notch product but a yet unsaturated market.

Ring-ring! 'Kevin, it's David Ledoux!' (man, talk
about 'when the student is ready, the teacher will
appear') 'thought you'd be interested in my new affiliate
program at ilovemlm.com...check it out and let me know what
you think." Click.

2) I searched and searched for the PERFECT benefit-loaded
domain name to use for David's affiliate program...got it!

MLMadvisor.com

Set it up to forward to the affiliate link, but this was no
ordinary forward, it was forwarded inside of invisible
frames PLUS the domain name mlmadvisor.com 'stuck' in the
browser so you didn't hear all those CLICK-CLICKS and then
see some other long ugly link in that obviously revealed to
the visitor that I was trying to make money off of them.

NO SIR-EEE!

Just a smooooth transition to the ilovemlm.com website and
the affiliate code was hidden from view (but STILL
invisibly tracking my sale :-)

3) I had my programmer fix it up so that my domain had
fully customizable Titles, Keywords, and Descriptions so
that it would appear just like a hosted website to
everyone...even the search engines!

I was sick and tired of NEVER being able to get my
affiliate sites indexed by the major search engines. They
just don't like those long ugly affiliate links.

So I customized the Meta Tags and submitted my new domain
to all the major search engines AND bought a few cheap but
strategic buys in a pay-per-click service (see below for
how you can get all these juicy details). I also started
using my new domain whenever I posted in mlm forums,
swapped some ads in ezines, etc, plus began using the
email addresses kevin@mlmadvisor.com

4) It looked like I owned the site! No longer did I just
look like another 'wanna-be' - I started getting more and
more people REALLY TAKING A GOOD HARD LOOK AT THE SITE
all because it looked like they were at the main site
itself, and not just trying to be peddled another product
by a greedy panhandler!

Fast Forward 33 days:

Ring! Ring! 'Kev - it's Ledoux again! I don't know what
kind of Affiliate steroids you're on, but you made 90 sales
this month, you're the top affiliate...what are you gonna
do with the $3600?'

Me: 'huh?'

David: 'Gotta run - WWF Smackdown is on and Goldberg is
about to lay the smackdown on Captain Lou...check's in the
mail.' Click.

But you are wondering, 'that's all fine and good for you,
Kevin, but how does this help ME make money?'

I didn't stop there. Once I saw the power and edge this
gave me as an affiliate, I immediately went to work to make
this available at a VERY affordable price to the entire
affiliate industry, networkers, and Internet marketers.

Called it NameStick - got a cool logo. Made it easy to set
up in 3 minutes. Thirty-nine bucks.

Look at how easy it is to get NameStick going in your favor:

1. Go to http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX
2. Search for a Catchy and Professional
domain to forward to your affiliate link or
company replicated website.

3. Register the domain(s) ($39 for a whole year!)
4. Login to your account
5. Type in the location you want to forward the domain to.
6. Click on 'Cloaked'
7. Wait 72 hours...

That's IT!

Yep, here's my secret (you can do the SAME thing):

http://www.MLMadvisor.com uses NameStick for:
http://www.ilovemlm.com/cgi-bin/at.cgi?a=168221

AND

http://www.BigMoneyNow.com uses NameStick for:
http://www.bigmoneyfreetime.com/cgi-bin/at.cgi?a=168221

And if all that weren't COOL enough, here is what I am
going to offer you to get the ball rolling:

Article #3

The Secret Trick Internet Marketing Pros Are Using to Rake in the Dough (and don't want you to find out about)

Dear NAME,

I've got a little secret that can give you instant credibility online, plus more response, more leads and more money in your pocket.

This secret can make you look like a million dollars, and it costs only $39/year.

I have a friend, a real 'Internet Marketing Guru', who doesn't want me to tell you, or anyone, about this little trick. He thinks that if the average person knows about this it will be harder for the experienced Internet marketer to distinguish himself/herself from everyone else.

I agree with him -- it WILL change the playing field. But I also believe you deserve to know about it.

So I'm going to let the cat our of the bag...

HOW TO LOOK LIKE YOU RUN AND OWN A MILLION DOLLAR WEBSITE (OR 5-10)!

I'll be straight forward.

I'm just like you. I work real hard. I want to give back to my family and the community. I want to do more.

I do real well financially, now. But there was a time when I was selling my furniture to pay for rent. It was a time I'd like to forget. I was totally BROKE.

During those 'dark days' I was told a very powerful and important lesson:

No matter how little you have, NEVER LOOK BROKE!

There is nothing 'wrong' with being broke. It doesn't mean anything about YOU. Just your situation.

I know that. You know that. But the people you want to do business with... THEY may not know that.

You Must Look Successful if You Want to Attract Success!

Looking successful (and acting that way) was a very important part of my success. Eventually, I became how I saw myself and how I presented myself to others.

Very rich.

I'm going to show you how to do this, too.

HOW DO YOU LOOK ON THE INTERNET?

On the Internet, most people have these rinky-dink websites that look like they were put together by a 12-year old. THEY LOOK BROKE!

OR they have LOOOONG URL EXTENTIONS like:

www.bigcompanyname.com/cgi-bin/littleguy/smalltime.html

which may look a little more professional, but... THEY STILL LOOK LIKE A LITTLE GUY!

Besides, not even their own mother can remember their complicated website address!

I'm going to show you how to look like you OWN the website -- like the smart guy who runs the show. LIKE THE BIG GUY.

I'm going to show you how you can look like

-- You OWN your network marketing company
-- You OWN NameStick
-- You OWN YouCanAutomate
-- You OWN all the companies you have affiliate links with...

Are you ready?

Here's the secret...

It's called:

NAME STICK (the technical term is URL Frame Forwarding)

And until recently, this wasn't affordable or even comprehensible for the little guy.

Here's how it works:

1. You get a catchy URL
2. You forward the URL to your link
3. You forward it in a frame so your URL stays in the browser

(What's a URL? It's a website address. i.e. www.NameStick.com is a URL. Got it? Good.)

HERE'S THE SECOND PART OF THE SECRET

This used to require hundreds of dollars and a Phd in Computer Science to make happen.

But now you can now do all this with:

-- Zero programming experience, and
-- $39/year

This is AMAZING!

With virtually no effort I have a SLEW of websites that look like I'm the OWNER of the sites:

www.BigMoneyNow.com
www.MLMadvisor.com
www.NameYourBiz.com
www.ProspectPro.com
www.AutomateFollowup.com
www.YourNameDomainName.com

... and many more

Now I tell people, 'check out my site at www.BigMoneyNow.com' and they remember it!

I look like a million dollars because it's someone else's million dollar website, but it's my URL in their lucrative affiliate program!

Can you see how this would work for you?

You can use this to:

-- Recruit up! People who want to see YOUR COMPANY'S website -- Big dogs want to deal with big dogs.
-- Expand your audience - different URL's attract people with different needs (I forward several to the same site - more on this below)
-- Impress your family members who said you would never amount to anything... grrr!
-- Have something SIMPLE to put on your business cards
-- When someone at a party asks you what you do you can say, 'I own a number of online properties... you may have heard of www.YourNameDomainName.com?' <smile>

It's important to chose the name of your URL wisely because

on the Internet...

People don't get to remember your face. They don't get to remember your voice. They don't get to remember your charm.

The only thing they get to remember is your website name!

So.... Make it readable. Make it easy to say on the phone! Make it easy to remember. Make it as short as possible.

HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

Let me show you step-by-step how easy this is to do. You can only get all the affiliate advantages and a super-low price at http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX

1. Go to http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX
2. Search for a Catchy and Professional URL for your business (and EACH Affiliate program you are promoting) (i.e. I have www.AutomateFollowup.com for my site at http://www.mlmbiznames.com/g.o/followup )
3. Register the domains ($39/1 year or only $64/2 years!)
4. Login to your account https://www.namestick.com/cgi-bin/2.41/manage.cgi
5. Click on Website Forwarding and enter the link of your affiliate program (i.e. http://www.saveyourname.com/g.o/yourname )
6. Click on 'Cloaking'
7. Wait 72 hours...

That's IT!

Can you believe how easy that is! Now you or ANYONE can have A LIST OF SITES that are easy-to- remember and make you look like a million dollars.

Go make your mother-in-law eat her words! :-) Brag to your corporate peers that you own the hottest Home Business website on the Internet. ( YourProURL.com from http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX ).

When they ask, did you develop that? Just say, 'No way, are you kidding? I had other people develop that for me.' :-)

This is YOUR Internet. It's time to look like you really own it. It's time to play with the big dogs.

P.S. I do have the best software to totally automate and personalize your email marketing and follow-up with prospects, downline, new announcements, affiliate program marketing and training... (and more!) http://www.AutomateFollowup.com

OK... its really an affiliate link for my friend's very cool software program! :-)

I LOVE THIS STUFF!

P.S.S. One last secret tip. Don't limit your sales/visitors/sign-ups by the ONE GREAT URL you are using for ANY SITE, whether it is forwarded or actually hosting content.

Use 2 or 3 (or 10) GREAT domains for increased results!

Expand your audience! Different URL's attract people with different needs - different *hot buttons* http://www.namestick.com/g.o/XXXXXX
