Writing articles is an excellent way to not only build your reputation as an expert in your field but also a good way to build profits into any affiliate program you are promoting. The key is to write an informative article without having it sound like an advertisement.
There are several ways to incorporate your affiliate links in an article submitted for publication. The most common and acceptable way to do this is by including a short bio of yourself as author of the article along with a link to the site of your choice.
This will usually include you expressing yourself as an expert and suggesting that your readers go to a certain site for more information. You can also just tell readers that as an expert you highly recommend this certain product and have used it yourself.
This is called the author resource box and is standard practice with almost all article directories and submission sites. If you are submitting to individual sites make sure to include a disclaimer along with your article that the resource box must be included if the article is to be republished in any blog, ezine or newsletter.
But another, albeit sneakier, way is to write a review of a certain product or service and tell the reader that they can have a look at the product by following the link in the article.
Many article directories will allow up to three such links within each article as long as the article itself is not just a blatant advertisement for said product.
This can work to your benefit as you may join several different affiliate programs within the same niche and do a comparison between them and include your link for each.
Another approach that works great is to weave your affiliate links into your articles by simply being creative with the wording.
By just describing a product or service within your article and using an affiliate link to take your readers to a page as an example that can better describe your points will more likely be accepted and also greatly increase the chances of the readers clicking your them.
Research has proven that the most effective affiliate links are text links. They far exceed banners and flash animations when it comes to click through rates. By adding these links into your articles and distributing them across the web and also using them on your own sites and blogs you will see more clicks and more affiliate sales.
