Elliott I have been doing this for years … saves development/programming costs, no hosting, no seo, frees up all your time to avoid the noise and learn. No problems with TOS as some have suggested … as long as the domain is a generic. In this situation you and profit become one. ROI
can’t be higher for invested time. The only problem is that you are building somebody else’s customer base. This is best done on domains that you have no immediate interest to develop and with aff programs that provide ” lifetime commissions ” if you can believe that.

The vast majority of affiliate programs do not allow URL redirection, so it’s always best to read the TOS before doing this.

URL redirection using an affiliate link is often considered “cookie stuffing”. Do I agree about this, no…. to a point.

Sometimes if something seems to good to be true, it often is. One would hate to see affiliate commission coming in like crazy and then all of a sudden, lose them due to the affiliate figuring out about the URL redirection. (forwarding)

Just be sure to read the TOS. CJ.com I know clearly says if the advertiser allows forwarding or not without looking at the TOS, but most it’s hidden in the TOS.

@Robb

Yes – but I am referring to straight up unquestionable generic domain names.

There is one company that has made this into their business model – Citizen Hawk.
