Membership Sites-Another Place to Place Your Articles
Where you place your affiliate links on your website can really make a difference on how many clicks you end up getting and, since every click means a potential sale, this is an important aspect of internet marketing.
Research has shown that the most effective affiliate links are text links. Yes, plain text links. Not big flashy banner ads like most affiliate website are filled to the brim with. What happens is, you write a great article (or have one created) about the product or something related to the product and stick the link into your text. This allows interested readers to see the link as they are reading and click on it.
Of course, your article and your link have to work effectively together to make this happen. A bad article and an unrelated link to an unknown product are not likely to make the profits roll in.
So the next time you are out to choose an affiliate link, try placing a relevant link in a great article that is well optimized for search engines and see how it works out for you.
Article directoriesare not the only place you can submit your article. There are places called private members sites. There are some sites that do not require you to belong, but most insist you be a member in order to submit.
Submitting to private members sites can help your articles become more valuable to you and your sales. The competition for attention to individual articles is not as fierce at a private members site as it is in popular article directories. This will make it more possible for your article to have greater views.
Individual membership sites will have seperate guidelines for posting articles. It is important to read the guidelines and follow to them exactly when submitting an article or you may find yourself banned from the site.
Some membership sites have a seperate area of their websites specifically for the articles. Others have forums in which they allow you to post directly to the boards. It is almost mandatory to belong to these forums if you wish to post. Always watch for a chance to get your article out there. Read the small print as often the information for submission is placed there.
Some membership sites offer the chance to have your article syndicated. You will need to add a small piece of HTML code to the site page where you want the article. This will further increase your exposure!
Sure Fire Wealth at www.surefirewealth.com is a place where non-members can post articles, as long as they aren’t really sales letters. If you have an informative article, you can not only submit it here, but also make it available for syndication.
