    A question that I'm sure has been asked a million times but does anyone here use a typo domain whereby you just remove the "." ie: wwwdomain.co.uk for affiliate purposes?

    If/when the company in question realise you're doing it, its an absolute certainty you're going to get booted off the affiliate program. And thats just an absolute minimum... legal action may follow.

    Its just a really bad idea.

    Thought as much, I guess no one will confess if they do do it for those reasons....................."move along nothing to see here"

    Some affiliate companies tolerate the use of domains incorporating their brands but typo-squatting is probably too much and asking for trouble.

    what if it didn't incorporate their brand, say for example you had wwwpoker.co.uk and you used it to affiliate with poker.com

    If you want a definitive answer, ask the merchant in question.
