Moniker and Affiliate Summit bring you a very special event with the addition of Moniker’s successful Live Domain Auctions to the program offering. Now you can get the premier web addresses you need to build your brand and expand your network of top performing websites.

Live and Silent Auctions help build brands and drive traffic

The Live Auction will feature only the highest quality domains available on the market, and will also be complimented by an online Silent Domain Auction with thousands of additional traffic-building domains. By obtaining a premium domain for your industry, you can equate your website to the core product or service offering in your space. These high profile domains also typically offer some of the best targeted audiences due to their high volumes of natural type-in traffic (a.k.a. direct navigation). In fact, research suggests that visitors who arrive at a site through direct navigation – whether branded or generic – typically have conversion rates that are double that of search traffic.

Now is the time to acquire these traffic generating domains before prices continue to rise and push them out of reach. Be sure to take advantage of Moniker’s Live and Silent Domain Auctions at Affiliate Summit.
