Any Article Website that Allow Affiliate Links?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if that's a "problem" to you, then I'm afraid you've really misunderstood what "article marketing" is, and how it works.

That probably isn't something that would help you to make sales, anyway.

Yes, with no problem ... (but not for articles with affiliate links in them! Nobody wants to publish those, and they won't do you any good in places to which you can just submit them on your own and have them auto-accepted).

For publishing articles, the first and foremost place, of course, should always be your own site (and nowhere else until they've been published and indexed there).

After that, anywhere that's specifically relevant to the subject of your niche, so that you can attract targeted traffic from the readers/visitors of those sites.

Suggestions on "how to find those sites" are here.

And some suggestions on "how to ask them to publish your article/post" are here.

(It's very much less important, of course, but even the backlinks from those context-relevant sites are also worth something to your site, just because of their relevance - Google values that. But of course all you can ever get from Google is "search engine traffic", which tends to be of limited value and is often temporary, too).

Don't forget ezines, as well as websites. Their traffic can often be highly targeted and responsive, and their subscribers pretty attentive.

(No - "ezines" are not the same thing as "article directories"!).

Also, offline sources (magazines, even newspapers) commonly re-publish articles, and these can produce real floods of traffic (acceptance is generally more difficult, and there's more work involved and a bigger learning-curve, but the benefits can really be dramatic!).

After that, it's also worth mentioning Ezine Articles. That isn't an ezine: it's the web's best-known article directory, and can be used as a way of achieving some additional, "passive syndication", i.e. when publishers look there for content to re-publish (that being the purpose of article directories). It's only a minor afterthought, compared with everything mentioned above, but it can sometimes be a good and helpful afterthought. (I submit all my articles there - after they've been extensively published elsewhere, of course - and I do sometimes benefit from it, a little. It's free, anyway. But don't imagine that publishing articles yourself and then putting the additional copy in Ezine Articles is "doing article marketing": it isn't, at all).

In contrast, it's not worth mentioning any other article directories, and for all the reasons explained in this post, no article marketer would want their potential customer traffic coming to their sites via an article directory anyway: that isn't how article directories work, isn't what they're intended for, and isn't a benefit they can provide, either. This thread explains how to use them: How do Article Directories work?

Very last on the list, and the "lowest of the low" are probably "Web 2.0 sites", which tend to come with all sorts of problems and disadvantages for article marketers, and very few (if any) additional benefits, for all the kinds of reasons explained here.

The rule of thumb (and it's a pretty good and valid one) is that anywhere where you can just "submit your own content" without any sort of editiorial approval/acceptance process probably isn't going to be of any real benefit to you.

Here are a few other threads (some of them quite helpful) which include a big mixture of comments on the subject of "where to submit articles" ...

What about ezine articles?

Many site has many rules. Before submission article, you should obey the site rules & regulation. There are some site, who will permit you to submit your this kind of article.

Personally I don't bother with article directories these days - obvious footprint, especially on the author sig box and most are not great places to get traffic and authority links... Worst case could even have a negative seo impact...

In addition I note Ezine stopped providing dofollow links - probs due to the way G has hammered article directory sites to oblivion etc - sorry to say why bother?

So my vote is not to even think on these lines.... and further you should only follow stated rules, polices and guidelines for given platforms as they have their reasons for such things... take the time to read them and don't learn things the hard way if that makes any sense ;-)

I have come to the conclusion that 'Bum Marketing' in some ways was purposely named by its creator Travis Sago because he deviously knew that this name itself would be a foreshadow of its true meaning....i.e. if you do what you are doing above ( Bum Marketing ) you will eventually be a dirt ,poor 'Bum' on skid row
