Affiliate Programs Legal/Attorney affiliates?

[NameMatters]

Greetings,

I am looking to build a referral site on

1800Law.com

Any suggestions/ideas regarding which affiliate program to use are appreciated..

Thanks in advance,

Legal domains are hard to monetize. I've been told by numerous sources that lawyers can't legally partake in lead generation - you may find a directory is best?

A lawyer in the U.S. will be disbarred in the best case scenario and possibly prosecuted for sharing profits with a non-lawyer. Any domainer that claims he is involved in a lead-generation partnership with a lawyer or collects finder fees from a law firm is breaking the law.

What user group is your primary target? Lawyers or people looking for lawyers?

I know you may want to say "Both" - but IMO, you will need to figure this out one way or the other regarding the affiliate programs. If your target is people looking for lawyers - an area I would suggest is in legal forms - maybe legalzoom.

I have to agree with "Todaycom"

A lawyer may pay a monthly seo/sem/marketing fee.
That same lawyer may Rent/Lease a website from a marketing company at a monthly fee
