After a lot of thought, I have decided to launch a Greek-only affiliate forum.
The decision came to me due to the complete lack of something else in that area.
Why am I writing it here then, you might ask? Well, its my blog, I can write what I want! But to be serious, I will post what difficulties come up, how the setup is made, what issues pop up, and how I dealt with them. It might even help some webmaster create a similar affiliate forum for his country.
Since the .gr domain registration is simply shitty, and it takes 15 days (edit: 37 days ffs) to get your domain, I am currently writing content, the first guides and posts to put in the forum. I have also written the purpose of the forum, as well as the guidelines I want people to follow. I think that you need to give people an idea of your vision, so it may move in that direction.
I chose the .gr domain because I know that google favors local domains in the equivalent google engine, in my case, google.gr
I will also use google webmaster tools, and geotarget my domain to Greece and Cyprus, and countries where Greeks live, like Germany and England.
The Glowleaf Project will launch soon, and I will keep you updated.
This project is stopped.
Restarted on Fidaki.gr Greek affiliate marketing forum.

Hi,
I’m highly interested in the affiliate market in Greece. Would it be possible to receive an email when you launch your forum?
Thanks a lot, cheers!

I will announce it here. I am still working on it. I just got the domain after 37 days from registration…

Thank you for your reply!
37 days of registration?! That’s a man’s life in the dynamic world of the web!
All the best with the development of your idea!
