Article marketing-is this the correct way or not?

goingup · 10-24-2009, 11:18 AM

I write articles and forward, mask the domain to point to the affilate site, correct?
No website on my part, but I believe the forward and masking takes care of that. Doesnt it?
I keep hearing different thngs. Was trying to hire someone who has a paid ezine membership to submit for me and she said they wouldnt accept that kind of link. Is there a simple non tech way around that?

Personally, I don't like the masking. It looks suspicious and I believe discredits you. Although, many use this technique to utilize their affiliate link(s).

Perhaps you should test your conversion rate by send your prospects to a presell landing page at the very least.

And you should start trying to build your lists.

Hope This Helps!!

No, no simple, non-techy way around it - you have to have your own domain.

Another reason not to mask is that it basically is a giant Iframe, so it can and will screw up your CB tracking which means no sales for you

Get an .info at least. Its the cheapest available out there for now.

You can use free sites like Squidoo, Blogger, Weebly for your pre-sell landing pages. Just be cautious in using Squidoo because they tend to lock out lenses that are just to spam their readers.

Currently I forward my affiliate link to a .info domain but you can try any approach.

I tried masking my link when I first started. I found it to be a hassle. Get yourself a domain name, some hosting and set up a squeeze page. It's really not that expensive and alot easier to do than you might think. It can help with all aspects of your business - list building, marketing, generating traffic, sales, etc...

Is this true? Can anyone else confirm that it does screw with sales?
