Article Marketing + Direct Linking = ...?

by Branlan17

I've noticed that several top "authors" in my niche who have individual articles with over 1,000,000 views have many (or all) of their articles directly hopping to the vendor's page (through a redirect of course, if using EZA).

I know someone with that volume of traffic has to be making some money but I'd be curious as to what Warriors here thought of this method/model?

    If you are able to press the right emotional buttons so that the reader comes to the resource box even more desperate for a solution to their problems, then all you need is a direct link to the vendor's page.

    I write the article first, then decide whether to send them to the vendor or my own landing page. It all depends on how good a job I did on the article and the niche I'm writing in.

      Agreed. Although as an article marketer myself, I would never use my author's resource box on links to someone else's site - no matter how good my article was. Why spend the time, money, and energy generating backlinks to a vendor's site (or wasting those backlinks with redirects)?

    I submit my articles to EZA and I use this method myself ''redirecting links to the vendor's page'' and I don't see any problem with that. My website has been on the first page of Google for more than 3 months now.

    If it's a niche I care about and want to be in, I send them to a landing page. If it's one I'm not into, just a simple redirect.

    I remember a guy on Wealthy Affiliate (where I got my start) who claimed when I talked to him that he was on his 4th month of IM and going to make about $9,000 for the month. He told me he did it by writing 10 articles every day and spending whatever was left of this 10-14 hours work day backlinking them. He also told me that he used direct linking, simply moving on to a new niche when his keywords were exhausted.

    It's something to think about, at least.
