A sub-domain is any name you choose usually as a prefix of a domain name. For example: sub-domain.MainDomain.Com, where sub-domain is placed before the first dot of a web address/URL. Another example: MyStore.MainDomain.Com, where MyStore is a sub-domain. Some of the major drawbacks to have your website running under a sub-domain are – you do not have access to all the hosting features; and when you transfer your hosting service to a new one, you will not be able to use the same web address/URL, where the main domain name does not belong to you. Worse, all the traffic/followers and search engine placements you might have built up will also be gone.  As opposed to your own domain name, which is unique and belongs to you regardless where your hosting service may be. Visitors/traffic and search engine placements will always be following you (the same scenario as your telephone number).

Although any website may run under a sub-domain, but for less than US $10.00 per domain name registration, we highly suggest that you reserve your own unique identity for your business. You will also get Free Extras with Every Domain Name.

Perhaps the simplest way to explain affiliate marketing is that it is a way of making money online whereby you as a publisher are rewarded for helping a business by promoting their product, service or site.

There are a number of forms of these types of promotions but in most cases they involve you as a publisher earning a commission when someone follows a link on your blog to another site where they then buy something.

Other variations on this are where you earn an amount for referring a visitor who takes some kind of action – for example when they sign up for something and give an email address, where they complete a survey, where they leave a name and address etc.

Commissions are often a percentage of a sale but can also be a fixed amount per conversion.

Conversions are generally tracked when the publisher (you) uses a link with a code only being used by you embedded into it that enables the advertiser to track where conversions come from (usually by cookies). Other times an advertiser might give a publisher a ‘coupon code’ for their readers to use that helps to track conversions.
