Affiliate Tip – Stop Traffic Leaks

January 2, 2005 by Shawn Collins

If you own your own domain, there are some common typos that can be stripping traffic from your site.

Plumbing Leak

When people are typing in your domain(s), it’s common for them to only type two W’s or an extra W before the dot. And there are also plenty of folks that type the three W’s, but accidentally don’t type a dot before the domain name.

Here are examples of what I mean…

Two W’s: ww.affiliatetip.com

Four W’s: wwww.affiliatetip.com

No Dot After the W’s: wwwaffiliatetip.com

The first two can be fixed by setting up subdomains with your Web host. For the last one, you’ll have to register a new domain.
