Well Useless, that makes common sense. I will point out that in the thread you reference, nowhere does the exact issue of "paysitename.com vs paysitename" come up except in post 1 that I saw. And in the examples, it was said in a stand alone text link, it'd be ok as paysitename.com, whatever.com, but it was not explicitly stated that paysitename, or whatever would be ok without the .com.
Again, I'm asking this because I do support for 2 programs. When people hit me up via ICQ, email and PM's on our board asking how to improve ratios, I review their pages. When I see "paysitename.com" I instantly tell them to remove it and replace it with "paysitename" only.
I have 2 reasons.
1) you, as a
submitter, absolutely do NOT want the surfer to type in the raw domain name of the paysite. While you can never absolutely prevent it, you also dont have to put it in size 4 font in the page text.
2) I wont post #2 because it could give people bad ideas.
I'll say also that I often get positive feedback about my advice (thank you people!) and obviously when it's positive, sales have improved..
So I think if there are LL and other list sites that actually require a .com in a text link, I may actually be costing you submitters and I'm sorry for that. It's just counter intuitive to making the affiliate more sales.
