Advice required with long URL for clickbank product

Danny Turner · 07-19-2009, 07:25 AM

Hi Folks
I am getting ready to launch a product on clickbank and was about to use
www dot myinternetmarketinglibrary dot com
now I was thinking is this name too long? - it's good for description but was thinking something shorter may be better - like www.myiml.com
just wanting to get things at the best before proceeding
any suggestions from an affiliates point of view will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Danny

Hi Danny,

A lot of it depneds on HOW you plan on driving traffic to your site.

The shorter URL may be easier to remember, but the longer one consists of actual words. If you plan on using articles and having people click on your link, then it doesn't matter all that much as they won't have to rely on their memory to get to your page.

As an affiliate, it wouldn't matter that much to me either way. Again, that's because of the way I promote affiliate products. For example, if someone is using the ClickBank link builder, then whatever URL you choose will be converted to a ClickBank link anyway.

On the other hand, you could try both and see which one works better for each traffic strategy you use.

All the best,
Michael

It's good to stay within 3 words but if that's not possible 4 words but relevant to the product that you're selling is all right.

In fact, the domain is not an important issue at all for the general affiliates as long as it's not a subdomain (www.mywebsite.com/product).

And for more experience affiliate, it's totally negligible.

Certainly not a good idea to use long URL if you r using PPC. If not, I don't think it really matters.

Its better that the URL is as short as possible because it is easy to remember
