Please help...how do I write articles with affiliate links?

6 replies
Please help, I want to know how to submit articles to databases such as Ezine with a legit affiliate link. I know I can not post an affiliate link in Ezine so what are my options. Legit options only please, I do not desire to get banned. Please give me step by step directions as I am new to affiiliate marketing. I saw a product called affiliate link wizard, could I use something like this? PLEASE HELP! I am eager to get started but I have hit this small roadblock.

Thanks,

    Link to your web site and have your web site link to the affiliate link. preferably in a way that doesn't smack of self-serving advertising. if you don't have a web site, I'd either get a blog at blogger.com or if you know html, use a free host (I use x10hosting) with no ads (yes, they exist, and some are pretty good).

    I think that if you post your affiliate link on a website that looks like this:

    YOURSITE.com then it is OK.

    But when you go out and have a link like this: YOURSITE.com/afflinkhere.html then they don't allow you to do that.

    Does that make any sense to you?

      How do you write articles with affiliate links? If you want to make any decent money with article marketing... you don't. You send your article traffic to a landing page. I've tested the conversion of redirects vs a landing page in many different niches - for me a landing page with a good presell converts better every time.

    Some directories allow you to put links in the body of the article.

    EzineArticles doesn't but, as far as I know all directories including EZA allow a "sig" or "bio" file.

    An example is the one at the bottom of this post.

    I use an article submitter software.

    It's free.

    Instead of using an affiliate link use your own link.
    You can set up a page with a review of the product you are selling and put your aff link there.
    If you don't own a web site or domain you can use a free blog at blogger.com.
    Which would also be a great place to put your articles. Put the articles your site/blog first, then submit them to the directories.

    Hope this helps.

      From what I understand, they allow only one link in the article, as long as it goes to a top level domain.

      It's the way I've been doing it, and it still works.

    Hi,
    Get a blog where you can review or write stuff related to the product. Then submit your article with the blog as your byline. That's it...
