    Instead of hearing from the CJ team all the time we thought it would be useful to hear the voice of some others in the industry – namely affiliates, advertisers and agencies and learn a little about their businesses and what they do on a day to day basis.

"A large proportion of publishers I know own dozens if not hundreds of domain names. Later on they regret having purchased so many as they don't have the time to build websites for them. Also they don't attract the amount of type-in traffic they were hoping for. Therefore discipline yourself to only buy domain names that you must have.

One thing many people are not aware of is a .co domain is seen by Google by default as a local Colombian domain; great if you want to rank well in Colombia, not so great if you wish to use it for a UK site."
