INTERNET MARKETING

Hey guys, recently I have found a method to dodge ezine articles terms of service which doesn't allow you to use affiliate/clickbank links in your anchor text. I am not sure if that is a big deal or not, just curious....would people be interested in knowing something like that? Also it works with google adwords too. I can see how this can be valuable in adwords because the competition is now lower in a lot of niches.

The great thing about secrets is once everyone knows... it's no longer a secret.

If you have a trick and you expose it... what do you think will happen?

You want to make money or do you want everyone to think you are clever?

  Most people just use a domain name and a redirect - simple and it doesn't break their terms of service.

Yes, and if you're worried about getting in trouble with a redirect... create a simple small (sandwich) page that links to the sales (clickbank) page

EA will catch you eventually, so why try sneaking around the rules? It's just a waste of time because then, any articles in your account will become inactive - and you could get banned.

For the sake of a very simple redirect, why bother?

.info domains are super cheap... less than a buck. No need to make things difficult or risk skirting anybody's TOS just to achieve a simple redirect.

Last time I checked Godaddy still had .info domain names for 99cents.There's no point trying to get around the rules because you'll eventually get caught.

99cents vs Having Every Article you wrote Removed - dunno which you prefer.

  Why not set up a niche site with tons of information and your affiliate links, and just link to your site from EZA?

I'm missing something here.

Have been wandering in affiliate link cloaking, and now I found this. Lucky I don't rush by submit articles to EZA (honestly, I intend to insert affiliate link into my articles).

First, I realized naked affiliate link won't convert so well, so then I have found out link cloaking.

Why use redirect link with .info? Why don't use direct link instead? How about cloaked link, is it OK?

Thanks

If you share this with people then it will soon be discovered by google and EZA and you will lose all the work you have done, but I wouldn't even do it if you told me, simply because it will get shut down, google and EZA invest a lot in making sure their systems are watertight and do take action when they are not. 15k people apparantly just got banned for posting affiliate based adverts so I am sure they will shut you down when they discover this... just do it legit and you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your work for a lot longer.

I just can't get my head around this fixation with direct or re-direct linking from articles!

Seriously...why bother?

There have been enough things happen over the last year to prove that large organizations like Squidoo, EA, and Google are not scared of making huge changes that have damaged a lot of affiliate/Internet marketers, so why take the risk?

Build your own websites people...it's easier now than it ever has been...and send any traffic that you generate from articles to your sites, and not to a direct or redirect link.

Having your own "presence" allows you to build relationships with your visitors, and this is crucial if you are to succeed in 2010 and beyond.

Be safe.

As far as this landing page idea....

Isn't that one more spot for them to click out of your chain of pages before BUYING the product? And why hard pre-sell every item like that? Maybe I'm a newbie with the clickbank thing, but as long as I can get the people to the sales pages motivated to "Solve their problems" by buying "this great book" why risk ruining it? Thats why we trust their gravity to the limited extend that we do. If lots of people are making sales - their sales page must be doing it's job or the gravity score would be very low (under 100).

I'd rather get 100% out of 1,000 people that do click the first link to that very good sales page rather than losing x% of them (how many ever that may be) with my poor ad copy or out of pure boredom.

I also thought I saw a few people suggest that you NEED a landing page or EA would ban you and make all your articles inactive. Maybe I misunderstood what was being said, but if there is anyone that was suggest re-directs would also get your account banned...
EzineArticles.com Editorial Guidelines: (AFFILIATE PROGRAMS):

Code:

Affiliate links will be allowed if the link is a domain name you own which forward/redirects to the affiliate link from the top-level of the domain name. For example, it is permissible to forward to an affiliate link from:

http://your-company-name.com/

...but it would not be permissible to forward to an affiliate link from:

http://your-company-name.com/page.html
http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/
http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/page.html
http://sub-domain.your-company-name.com/

Any article with an affiliate link that does not adhere to this guideline will cause the article to be rejected.

Nope, Ezine's cool with the 99 cent redirects.

And honestly once again I'm just a CB newb, but.... if you won't spend the .99 cents on a .info domain, you need to value your time much more than you do.

You would accept a job for 99 cents an hour? How many hours have you spent writing articles?

More importantly - if you are still willing to write articles for 98 cents a hour or less, can I hire you?

Think of how many domains you could buy working for me just for 1 day!

[see my horrible ad copy. This is why I don't do landing pages

Thanks

Lack of trust that I could write a better sales page than the people with very high gravity scores for products that aren't saturated with customers I suppose.

I'm being honest - I'll motivate them and move them but every sales page I've ever written has failed horribly.
