I tried posting my link on facebook and it said people have complained about banned substance in the link.  Have you had anyone else encounter that problem?

If you have that problem, first look at your link. If you are using a shortening service like budurl.com it is most likely that that is culprit. Thousands of people use that service each day and you can imagine how many knowingly and unknowingly send unwanted information (aka spam) to people on Facebook with that URL.

To see whether it’s the REAL url or the shortening URL, post a comment with the full original url. In almost all cases you’ll find that is just fine and it IS the shortening URL that has caused the problem.

To resolve the problem you can:

1. Use a different shortening service and see if their reputation is still clean.
2. Purchase a domain and redirect it to your affiliate link. This is great for products you recommend on a regular basis.
3. Purchase one domain from which you do all of your redirects, such as JeanetteRecommends. Then you can set up individual pages for each product you recommend and you won’t be competing with others who may be spamming with a link shortening service.

I highly recommend you sign up for the $1 webinar for the DotCom Jumpstart, if you haven’t already done so. Watch the video. Then use the email on “better than I expected” in the affiliate toolbox to promote the $1 webinar replay. It will be easier when you feel like it’s coming from you.
