Affiliate tracking systems can track data from other sites, so why not use one or more different domains as landing pages for your offline advertising? Think about it, if you are running an affiliate program for your product and you decide to do a radio ad, what better way to track the activity than with another website. The site can simply be a redirect to a product description page, which is then tracked to see how many people went to that URL as your radio ad ran.
The new domain is in the affiliate program and acts just like an affiliate. You get to see what kind of traffic the ad generated and if the ad paid for itself. You can see what the conversion rates are for it and much more.
With the MerchantZoo system, this is a simple process which we can take care of for you as part of your affiliate program management. We can purchase, set up, and register the domain in the affiliate program, as well as set up the redirect to whichever page. This is just one of the many advantages of running an online affiliate program to promote your products.

Welcome to the MerchantZoo Affiliate Program! We (The Web Mark) developed MerchantZoo from an affiliate’s perspective. Coming from an affiliate marketing background, we wanted to create a program that only offered high commission products and services, fast payouts, and things like masking shopping carts and deep linking. Another benefit is that our affiliates do not have to use affiliate IDs, which is a huge benefit now that some search engines and directories are trying to filter out affiliate websites from their results (sites that contain links with affiliate id codes in them). Not only do we offer all these, but we also have a simple affiliate signup form and simple, accurate reporting for affiliates.
Another important benefit of the MerchantZoo system is that it is a two-tier system which means affiliates can make money when they sign up others to promote our merchants’ products and services. This is a great way to encourage the growth of our program as well as entice more affiliates to work with us.
With our relationships with the merchants we have so far, we are able to offer new and unique products that have high commissions. We work with merchants who are the owners/inventors of their products, which means we have the most flexibility in terms of the commissions that we can offer. Essentially, we are acting on behalf of our affiliates to make sure they have high commissions. Why do we do this and why are we so willing to give away a big piece of the pie? Well, we know affiliates are driven by making more money, as are our merchants, and, not surprisingly, as are we. How better to make everyone more money than by offering a big piece of the pie? The more affiliates we get signed up, the more money they generate in sales. The more sales, the more the merchant makes. And we bring them all together with our MerchantZoo Affiliate Program.
