Unique "Direct Publishing" locks in your referrals

Free IQ has done many evolutionary things when it comes to affiliate marketing, such as 1-year cookies and SEO-friendly affiliate links. But they've also done some truly Revolutionary things; one of the most significant is "Direct Publishing".

If you have your own web site, and are referring to Free IQ, it is easy to use your affiliate link. But if you have a large site, or multiple sites, it can be all too easy to miss opportunities by inadvertantly leaving out your affiliate link somewhere. Or, you may have many links and content that can get unwieldly to update and manage.

What if... you could somehow just say, "Here's my URL, make sure that I get the referral for anything coming from here" - well, that is exactly what Direct Publishing is. You simply "register" your domain through a quick and painless two-step process, and Voila! anyone coming from anywhere on your domain automatically gets tagged with your name!

You can only do this for domains that you can save a small file to (just your email address on a blank page), and this rules out blogs such as Blogger - which wouldn't be your domain anyhow. But for domains that are yours, this is a wonderful feature!

Here is a short video showing you exactly how to do it. Make sure you do it today - don't risk losing a referral that may become someone else's first!
