Use Promo Codes In Coupon Directories

Filed Under (Internet Marketing Tools, Promo Code Marketing Tips, Promo Code Uses) by admin on 24-05-2008

Coupon directories are a great place to post you promotion codes for a number of reasons.

For one, it’s another way to get a link back to your site and hopefully more targeted traffic. You get the added benefit of having your link on a high page rank site as well.

There are literally hundreds of coupon directories online. Just do a search on your favorite search engine trying various terms like, coupon codes, online coupons, promo codes, discount coupon codes, etc and you’ll see a number of them pop up.

A number of these coupon directories allow you to anonymously submit your promo code. One example, and a favorite of mine at the moment, is Retail Me Not. It has an Alexa rating of 3270 (which is excellent) and a Google Page Rank of “6″ (also good).

The reason I prefer Retail Me Not is because it’s actually a social networking site as well. In fact, I just signed up myself. Here is my profile and official invitation to join the group I started on the site:

Promo Code Software Community on Retail Me Not

I did a basic Google search for online coupon directories and came up with a few. Keep in mind though, I haven’t fully researched how and if you can add your promo codes to these sites. I just wanted to give you a start for your research.

  • Coupon Cabin - Must have 3 month Alexa usage level greater that 50,000. May be difficult to get listed.
  • Ultimate Coupons - No real easy way to sign up. I sent in a request for inclusion. We’ll see on this one.
  • Cool Savings - Hard to navigate. Haven’t figured out how to include or add a promo code.
  • Shop At Home - Currently researching. Have a ticket in with them to contact me.

Other directories include:

Again, I haven’t navigated through all these sites to see how or if you can add promo codes. I just wanted to give you a starting point to look into these as I do.

What I have found, however, is that many of these sites including some of the ones listed above, require you to pay to list your promo codes. The terms vary. For example, I was checking out ShopAtHome.com and it appears that you pay based on the traffic to your particular listing. Probably very similar to a pay-per-click system.

For now, start with RetailMeNot.com, join my community, and start listing your promo codes.

    Hi Jason. This is very interesting. This would work especially well for products that target a general audience. I wonder if there are directories targeted towards info products? That would be a home run. :-)

    Well Jason,

    You gave a great idea that I had never thought of using for marketing. I appreciate the effort you went to for the links you provided.

    I will definitely look into this as there are thousands of people (maybe millions) which are looking for coupons or in this case — special offers.

    Thanks,

    Judith

    That’s a great idea which I had never thought of. You could almost flood the directories with offers of this type.

    teleseminar,

    The idea is to list responsibly. Like anything else…it can be abused.
