Hi wnshops,

You might want to remove the URL and names from your post, as these are against the TOS.

Even as an affiliate though, buying the domain name you mention wouldn't be a wise move and if you did register the domain, you'd most likely find yourself on the receiving end of a cease and desist notice, then have to hand the domain back anyway.

Not worth doing.

Hi

As ritch_b says

Its not worth it.

I would build a site on the same topic as your affilate produce relative unique content and display some affiliate products.

Get your own unique domain name that won't have obvious corporate name copyright issues etc.

better to have
