Coupoon sites are a market of website traffic you may have overlooked. Sites where most of the users are “buyers” rather than “browsers”. That means more targeted traffic ready to buy your products and services. Whether they be your own or that of an affiliate program your marketing.
It’s a great idea if you have your own store on your own domain name but the video(There was a video on youtube that no longer exists so I deleted it from here) doesn’t know how you can link your affiliate program on the site. I tried it with the site mentioned in the video: http://www.retailmenot.com/. You directly can’t as they change all URL’s to the main URL. For instance your Amazon link turns into just Amazon.com or even your ebay store just goes to ebay.com. It doesn’t make any sense that you can’t link directly to your offer. Apparently people have to hunt for it on the main site. I’m not sure if all coupon sites are like that but I found a way around it. You have to have a hosting account that allows you to create unlimited sub-domains and redirects for those sub-domains. This can either be for your own domain or even for sub-domains created within a sub-domain. You can get sub-domain redirect hosting here for only $1.33 a month: http://webhostess.us/order.
