Is domain forwarding the rite way!

[jamessamy]

Hi members,

I done a domain forwarding using GoDaddy and made around US$400 the first month. The following months i did not make any ...totally dry.

Do i need to do anything special or did miss anything...need help!

Thank you, jamessamy

Hi James,

How did you promote/market this domain that redirected to your affiliate link?

[jamessamy]

Lynn, the following are the method i used

1. i got the hoplink from clickbank
2. bought domain name from GoDaddy
3. under my account go to domain forwarding
4. click the domain name
5. click the icon forwarding
6. under forwarding, i enable forwarding and place my hoplink
7. redirect to 301 moved permanently
8. under masking, enable masking
9. wrote title,description and keywords
10. click ok and waiting until the my domain forwarding status shows
the hoplink

By doing this i had made $400 within 2 months and now there is no sale.
This made me wonder what when wrong.

Hi James,

I understand how to create a redirect, but how did people find that domain so they could click on it and visit the merchant?

How did you promote it? Or are you saying you simply created it, told no one bout it, and somehow people found it or guessed it on their own?

[jamessamy]

I did not promote it anywhere cause at that point i do not know about twitter or writing articles.

I just forwarded using domain forwarding and i was really really surprise to cheque for doing that.... i was a lucky for 2 months

[Lynn Terry]

Wow, yeah you did get really lucky. I wonder if it got indexed temporarily or something. That's not usually the case. You're sure you didnt drop the link anywhere like on a forum profile?

[jamessamy]

From what i can recall till today i did not do any forum. I did domain forwarding by using youtube and learning from it. Before i know some friends online, i did not know anything about forum or even wordpress.

My first site online site done was in blogger.com and i took nearly 3 to 6 months just by using HELP. I learn the hard-way doing things.

Now i know you Lynn, i am learning more new ways. The webinar every tuesday shows light in my tunnel to success...Thank you

For future reference, domain forwarding is usually good for affiliate links - but you'll still need a website or blog to get search engine rankings and then use that to actually promote the domain (link).

[jamessamy]

You are right i have promote my links but i was lucky and the universe helped me.

Anyway, do you have any write-up on how to promote affiliate link to get traffic and make some income
