Web 2.0 a How To ?

Hi!

I have been reading some information on the different web 2.0 properties available and using those to boost my own site. It seems that I've gotten a little (okay alot) confused.

If some sites specifically prohibit the use of affiliate marketing then how are you warriors using sites such as Hubpages,Tumblr, InfoBarrell, etc in your internet business plan.

Do you use it as a three way link? Web 2.0 ->Your Site ->Affiliate Site.

Or is there some other part I'm missing?

TIA

    Personally I don't try to directly market any affiliate product on "Web 2.0" sites. I contribute content related to the topic of my money site and drop backlinks into the content to help my main website gain rankings and traffic.

    If you are new to this game I would advise focusing more on promoting websites where you control the domain and use the Web 2.0 and article sites to feed traffic and backlinks. Too many people have invested tons of time building their content on Web 2.0 properties only to lose all their hard work when the owner of the site deletes their "free" account.

    You are correct in your thinking. There is no need to over complicate this. You don't need to include an affiliate link in the Web 2.0 sites because as you said, most sites do not allow these links. You want to direct your links to your website which then directs them to the affiliate link.

    Most of those sites are getting harder to do anything anymore unless you deliver good content which always in your favor. What worked in the past is being policed constantly for this type of marketing. I've automated this process and just work without those sites there is so many of them out there.

    Web 2.0 sites have high PR, these are good for backlining.

    No Ma'am, you're not missing anything; that's exactly how it should be done. Trying to link directly to the affiliate site is the lazy way of doing things, in today's world of "convince me".

    The sites that are saying "no" to the direct to affiliate site linking are saying this because they don't want you/us pimping their link juice. They're "high authority" sites due to all the traffic they get; and the majority of that traffic isn't thinking about 'buying' anything when they go there... and IF they do, those site would rather THEM be the ones making the money off the traffic 'cause they did all the work getting them there.

    SO... that's why they get ticked when an affiliate comes and siphons off their meal tickets.

    So, yeah.. its best to link to a review page to pre-sell them which then links to the affiliate offer..

    HubPage = Education
    Your Site = Pre-sell
    Affiliate Site = The sale
