Selecting the best affiliate username

Selecting a correct affiliate username is very critical especially if you are with clickbank.  Reason being,  your username will be included in the affiliate URL (the affiliate link).

Majority will just pick any username that he/she think is suitable. Here are some common username :- myaffiliate, johnaffiliate and maryinternetincome.

Majority of internet users know that the person behind the username will benefit something if he/she click the link. As a normal human being he/she might gives a second though. We hate others benefit from our action. Naturally he/she feels more comfortable with less obvious affiliate username like “reviewpage”. It just a human nature.

So do a careful consideration when choosing an affiliate username.

So how do we select a username ? any specific consideration ?

Here are some pointers that can help us:-

1. Chose a name that does not reflect any affiliate activities. Never put “affiliate” word or anything similar in the username. This is a big RED light.
2. choose something that can disguise your affiliate works ie. Review, view. These word disguise your affiliate activities. Our potential buyers will not be alarmed because of the username.

However there are affiliate owners that are using software that hide all affiliate username. For this case, it does not really matter how is you username look like. I’ll blog about that part later. Unfortunately majority of the affiliate programs are still using the old system, displaying the affiliate name at the end of the url. So to be on the safe side, do consider your affiliate username.
