So you’ve secured some good web hosting space and are setting out to conquer the world of CPA (cost per action) marketing. This could be a very profitable endeavor, as CPA is definitely the hottest ticket in affiliate marketing today, as not as much is required as pertains to selling, and the potential for profits are looming large. So just how should you go about setting up your CPA offers in your hosting account? There are several ways to go, so let’s take a closer look.

First, you could set up a domain totally dedicated to the offer. This might only make sense if you plan to promote either this particular offer or one like it for some time to come. Otherwise it could get very pricey to keep purchasing domains for single campaigns. While it would probably pay for itself shortly, the amount of time the domain would be in use would cause you to consider another approach.

You might also register a domain as a landing page repository for all your offers. This is the route many go, as they register a non-keyword optimized domain name, and host many different kinds of offers from this platform. This obviously allows you the greatest flexibility, as there is no limit to the amount of offers you can host on this domain.

While this domain may not rank in the search engines as well as a dedicated domain might, many don’t see this as an issue since most CPA traffic is generated either through the use of pay per click (PPC) advertising, or pay per view (PPV), or some other methods that don’t require search engine love.

You might decide to group certain types of offers to get better rankings, particularly if you are putting up more content, and want to include CPA offers in the midst of it. This could help with the search engines in keeping things relevant, and perhaps not make your offer look like the thousands of other CPA offers floating around cyberspace. A domain centered around supplements, for instance, could boast content related to these products, as well as showcasing how they might get a free trial of whatever the product is. This is more work obviously, but it has the advantage of being able to garner more traffic than other methods you have to pay for.

While many are tempted to use free web hosting or other free Web 2.0 platforms such as Blogger, Squidoo, Weebly and others to host their CPA offers, we believe that using your own hosting offers you many more advantages. The primary one being that no one has the ability to take down your site without your permission, which can sometimes happen with these types of sites and free blog platforms.

Using your own web hosting space to host your CPA offers is the best way to go, and gives you the greatest flexibility when it comes to optimizing your campaigns.
