Article Marketing & Link Backs To My Site

Hi

I launched my first site about 3 weeks ago in a niche that I know well.

At this point the site is a splash screen to grab names and emails and I am offering a 150 page manual and 6 free videos for free.

I have been using article marketing to promote the site (ezine articles) and link exchange sites.

Traffic is starting to increase and I am currently grabbing 1-2 emails a day.

Now I know it will take consitent action every day to build up this list and I hope one day its 100,000 + and growing. I am using auto responders to keep in contact and I am broadcasting information and advice.

At this moment I have not send any offers which will generate an income. I was planning to wait until I had 500+ on the list.

So my main focus is attracting traffic at this time but perhaps starting to earn an income as well.

Currently I have a youtube channel page, facebook fan page and a twitter feed as well which all get updated every 2-3 days.

So here is my idea, and I wanted some feedback

1) I will go to click bank and check on affiliate products in my nice.

2) I will chose ones I like and then write a review of them in a new section on my site called Product Reviews. Each review will have a hop link to the product.

3) I will also start writing (every other article) a review of the product with a link back to my main review page on my site which will have more information and the hop link.

I am hoping that this will

a) start earning some income
b) help to increase my google ranking with more articles with links back to my domain/site
c) start to increase content on my site (at the moment it is just the static web page) by adding review articles with the hop links.

So I am asking if this is a good strategy or can you suggest something else?

Thanks in advance
