Affiliate Right to Privacy

If you are an affiliate who works from home, I’d suggest taking some measures to protect your privacy.

I know many affiliates already do this through private domain registrations and the like, but I still see plenty of home addresses listed in the WHOIS for domains, as well as on contact forms.

I touched on this a little a while back in an affiliate tip on incorporating an affiliate business, but I was reminded of it again today.

I made my regular pilgrimage to the local UPS Store, where I have a box as my business address, and the owner mentioned that some people stopped in last week looking for me.

She also mentioned that some lady was asking for me there in mid-January.

In both cases, they were friendlies. But being that I work from home, I don’t want to have my address out there for any crackpot.

So if you’re working from home and sharing your home address, you ought to rethink it.
