EzineArticles Guidelines
They make big, specific points on affiliate links and redirecting:
- EzineArticles.com Editorial Guidelines: (AFFILIATE PROGRAMS):
Affiliate links will be allowed if the link is a domain name you own which forward/redirects to the affiliate link from the top-level of the domain name. For example, it is permissible to forward to an affiliate link from:
http://your-company-name.com/
...but it would not be permissible to forward to an affiliate link from:
http://your-company-name.com/page.html
http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/
http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/page.html
http://sub-domain.your-company-name.com/
Any article with an affiliate link that does not adhere to this guideline will cause the article to be rejected.
Have they changed their thinking on affiliate links? A few years ago I got an article rejected and the link was to a top level address of a site I owned. It was OKed quickly...but i was surprised at the time that they rejected it.
Now, with some of the links I have been clicking on in resource boxes, I'm not sure what is really "legal" to them. Like I said, I have clicked on links and have gone to a lot of affiliate pages...directly it seems on some. Others have been redirected it looks like, but not always according to their guidelines.
Anyone see this stuff too?
Thanks,
