Pharmacy domains registering tips

November 27th, 2008 Filled under "Getting Started"

Last couple of months we have been reading forum topics and blog posts about the problems/issues with pharmacy domains. Several domains of our affiliates were also suspended by domain registrars. It’s not hard to imagine how does it feel for an affiliate when a domain that is making you money gets suspended. To avoid this, please follow the following rules:

  • Avoid registrars who block domains for any reason or no reason (it’s easy to find the list of such registrars on any webmaster forum);
  • Never use “drug” or “pharma” keywords if you are not sure how reliable it is. The use of trademarks of well-known brands like Viagra, Cialis or Levitra is the first reason to suspend your domain, as these names are the subject of Trademark disputes;
  • Feel free to use “health”, “care”, “med”, “pill”, “tab” and similar keywords.

Domain registrars who ever suspended any pharmacy domains will be posted here. Please don’t hesitate to post your comments about a negative experience you had with any registrars – it will be very useful for all of our readers.

New default prices have been set

November 26th, 2008 Filled under "Announcements"
Last couple of weeks we were analyzing our prices for the top-selling products (Viagra, Cialis and Levitra). We made a lot of tests with different prices and finally, we figured it out! We implemented it as the default RRP (Recommended Retail Price) for all new online pharmacy stores. The new prices maximize CPV (Cost Per Visit) much better, than ever before. You can check them out at any of our public pharmacy stores, e.g. Thebigmeds.com.

You might be complaining that the new prices are a little bit higher, especially for small packs, but our tests have shown that your conversion ratio stays almost the same while the profit you get from each sale increased 10-30%. As we give opportunity to run a flexible pricing policy, only the default prices have changed, and you are free to set your own prices as long as they are higher than the minimum value that is allowed.

We love to surprise you with extras: we are calculating several ready-made pricing sets, which will be available to anyone who needs it (we will post a special announcement here upon release). Should you update your pharmacy store to the new prices, please login to the back office and click the Reset button in Stores: Prices menu.

New discount packs were added

August 29th, 2008 Filled under "Announcements"

After analyzing our top-selling products we have decided to add new discount packs. As you can guess these packs are much more cheaper, than their product components sold separately. Attention adult webmasters! According to our stats, the customers gained from adult traffic buy more discount packs, than any other.

  • ED Discount Pack #1 – includes Viagra 50mg x 10 pills and Cialis 20mg x 10 pills. The default price is $43.90. To view this pack, please click here.
  • ED Discount Pack #2 – includes Viagra 50mg x 10 pills, Cialis 20mg x 10 pills and Levitra 20mg x 10 pills. The default price is $74.90. To view this pack, please click here.
  • ED Discount Pack #3 – includes Viagra 50mg x 10 pills, Cialis 20mg x 10 pills, Viagra Soft 50mg x 10 pills and Cialis Soft 20mg x 10 pills. The default price is $99.99. To view this pack, please click here.

You will need to run an update to make them available for sale at your online pharmacy store.

Online pharmacy

July 8th, 2008 Filled under "Knowledge Base"

So, what is an online pharmacy? What are the reasons of high profitability and popularity of this business?

Online pharmacy at the moment is one of the most popular kinds of business among online moneymakers. The level of income earned from “Pharma” business can be compared to that of Adult, and, at times, Pharmacy business can be even more profitable as there are as much, and probably even more ill people suffering from all kinds of medical conditions, than those who subscribes to adult.

The reasons promoting people to purchase at online drugstores are both physical and psychological:

1. No one enjoys being ill or suffering from pain, let alone feeling defective and not being able to live a full life.

2. The majority of people like to economize and save money, and online pharmacies are a perfect place to do this since the drugstores offer not only brand products, but also Generics. Most generics are manufactured in India and turn out to be twice or even thee times cheaper that the Brand version.

3. Not all medicines are available in each country or city. It is certainly much easier and cheaper to order the medication online and have it delivered to your door than to go to another city, or sometimes even another country.

4. The most popular products at online pharmacies are ED products, such as, Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and others. What has promoted this? Certainly, the unwillingness to look defective and feel embarrassed at a doctor’s appointment or at a local drugstore. It is actually these ED products that bring the most income to the webmasters who are engaged with online pharmacy business.

Apart from all the above-listed, doing business with pharmacy affiliate programs is absolutely safe in terms of law, comparing with adult where this is not always so. All you are engaged with is SEO, and the affiliate program deals with everything else – processing, shipping, customer support etc.
