Platform Feature Breakdown:  Custom Affiliate Domains"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing the series of the ClickDealer platform feature breakdown &#8211; today we are going to look over another of its useful features &#8211; <strong>custom domains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For some time already, ClickDealer publishers have been able to park their own redirect domains and use them in their tracking links instead of our shared domains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>This resolves several common issues: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First of all, you can set up and change your own unique domain paths without waiting for us to apply changes from the admin side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, you no longer depend on the reputation of shared domains that could get flagged or blacklisted because of some other pub\u2019s activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, you can apply more user-friendly domains that relate to the offer\u2019s subject, which should positively affect your ad approvals. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And last but not least, we are happy to provide a free SSL certificate to you, which will be automatically activated as soon as you check \u201c<strong>SSL=true<\/strong>\u201d when adding your domain to the account, making your funnel safe and secure!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, let\u2019s get into the details. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to access the feature, open the <strong>Tools <\/strong>tab in your portal\u2019s sidebar and go to <strong>My domains<\/strong>, as shown on the screenshot below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a

CNAME record, point it to cd**.cd***.link (instruction shown in the portal) and add it to the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>*<\/strong><em>Please note that any changes to the CNAME and SSL
