Question About Article Marketing and Clickbank

Just so I get this straight...

Could I have www.MyFavoriteProduct.info forward to something like Vendor Home - ClickBank (not a real hoplink, btw), on Ezine?

I find EzineArticles to bring more traffic to my site than other article directories so worth the effort -buying top level domains to redirect your aff links.

This isn't necessarily true...you can't say that having a landing page will automatically increase your conversions as compared to not having one.

Before you decide whether to directly link with a redirect or if you want to create a landing page, you need to decide what your goal is. Do you want to make easy sales, or do you want to build a list and sell to them later, or do you want to have a presell or review page?

Direct linking is easier because it takes away the vast majority of the work. If you write a good article, give it a good title, and have a good call to action in the bio box, then your job is done and the product's salespage will do the rest.

On the other hand, creating a good landing page will, depending on what kind you create, either build you a good list that you can market to over and over again or increase conversions by reviewing or preselling the product so that the customer can make a more educated decision.

Making a landing page can be tough because you've pretty much got to write a mini salesletter. You need a persuasive headline. You need good bullets. If you're building a list, you need a good incentive for the visitor to opt in. If you're reviewing or preselling something, you need to hook your reader.

So which route should you choose? It really depends on what you feel like doing and what your skills and resources allow you to do.

this still works well with ezine articles, just buy a .info domain from godaddy for 99 cents and your good to go
