Have you ever wondered how Super Affiliates make the big bucks? Well, they use some key tools (and don’t tell anybody about them!).
One of their techniques is to transform a hard to remember, long, complicated affiliate link into a short, easy to remember domain name. And then forward that domain name to an affiliate link.
Most, if not all, affiliate programs, will not permit you to use their name, or any variation of their name, but you can register a generic domain and point it to your affiliate link.
For example, I use one of my domains to promote a spyware removal software. So I have a compact, seven letter domain name, rather than trying to market the actual affiliate link.
This is not a domain that you would expect people to type into their browser. I use it when I place listings in Pay Per Click search engines, like Enhance Interactive, FindWhat, Google AdWords, and Overture.
So instead of sending users to my site, I drive them straight to the sites with a domain that makes sense for the particular site.
Most any domain registrar should enable you to forward a domain to a url for little or no cost.
It’s also helpful to have a domain for your affiliate link in your opt-in newsletter.
Not only does it give you a shorter URL to feature, but also it gives the impression that you’re featuring a link as a public service, not because you are making a commission through it.

You really put together a nice article here.
I am sure you will be an inspiration to many people.I use go daddy code all the time and it really helps to save me money while brainstorming ideas for domains. Other codes in this family include ZINE1 (Save 10% on anything), and ZINE2 (Save $5 off $30).
