EA Resource Link - Your Opinion is Needed

4 replies
When placing your link in your EA article, would you rather:

Purchase a domain and redirect with your affiliate link

or

Redirect to a Squidoo lens and place your affiliate link there?

A domain redirect would take the buyer straight to the website that you would be promoting, but at the same time I think that the buyer would feel that they are being pressured to buy a product by going from a Ezines Article to a product page and may be turned off by that.

I've seen the potential of a pre-sell with a squidoo lens, I've gotten a sale this way but at the same time I see potential buyers being turned off and may not want to click on any more links by then.

I've made some changes to my Ezines Articles' and while I am in their queue I would appreciate some insight by people who use article marketing and how you get your potential buyers to the product you're promoting...Thanks!

    Test them both in your niche and see which one brings you better conversions..

    It is a niche specific stat that you need to find out for yourself.

    Ezine allows 2 links in the resource box..

    Send one to the merchant page and one to the squidoo lens..

    Track the results and tweak accordingly

    Peace

    You can also actually just create one link and split test the redirect. Direct 50% of the traffic to Squidoo Lens and the other 50% to your affiliate page.

    Best wishes,
