Now, oftentimes the term "web domain" and "website address" are used interchangeably but just so you know, a domain name and a website address are one in the same; they're just two different ways of saying the same thing.

If you are new to affiliate marketing or even if you've been doing this for a while there's a chance you're losing some sales commissions. In fact you could be losing a considerable amount of sales commissions all because of a peculiarity trait of internet users.

Although the Internet's formative years stretch back to the late 1960's, the year 1995 is generally accepted as the year that marked the beginning of the web as we know it today. It was also the year that two present-day giants kicked off their operations. They were eBay and Amazon.
