Coupon and Promo Code Page Defence
Publishing an official discounts page on your own domain so that searches for your brand plus coupon occupy the first result instead of third-party voucher sites.
Analogy Mental model
A customer reaches the till, searches for a discount code, and three middlemen appear with expired vouchers, requiring them to click back through an affiliate link that takes a commission on a sale you had already won.
In practice What you actually do
Build the page before you need it: current valid codes, an email signup offering a first-order discount, and a clear explanation of when codes cannot be combined. Ranking first for brand-plus-coupon is straightforward because you are the authoritative source for your own promotions.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
This does three jobs at once: it stops buyers abandoning after trying invalid codes, it prevents affiliate networks from claiming commission on organic sales, and it converts discount-seekers into owned subscribers.
