Affiliate Marketing: Can You Promote
Your Products Through Articles?

Writing by Nick Stamoulis on Wednesday, October 8, 2008 Comments (2)

Article marketing is a good way to drive traffic and build links as part of your search engine optimization efforts to any website or property online. But what is the most effective way to use article marketing to promote your affiliate products and services? If you promote your affiliate companies directly then you are building links for them, not for you. And you miss all future marketing opportunities because you have no private information capture.

While you may make more sales by sending buyers directly to companies whose products and services you want to promote, you’ll probably make more money by capturing e-mail addresses for marketing to those buyers directly in the future. That’s why I recommend setting up a landing page for each product or service you want to promote and using articles to drive traffic to that landing page. On that landing you page you can capture e-mail information for future marketing purposes AND close the sale. In fact, you should ask for the e-mail address at the point of sale before sending the lead to the company with the product for purchase.

Of course, your landing page should be highly optimized, as should your articles. But this is the best way to promote your affiliate programs with articles.
