Can I Link Directly To Affiliate Pages On EzineArticles.com?

The short answer to that question is absolutely not. You cannot add a direct affiliate link to any product or service on the ezinearticles.com web site. This is actually in direct violation with their guidelines and your article will not be approved for publishing. However, you most definitely can add a link to a domain that directs customers straight over to your affiliate product or service. This may sound a little confusing, but this high powered article web site really has no problem with you sending people to sales pages as long as there is content and they simply do not want thousands of people linking in to same site with a bunch of junk links and understandably so.

You Say I Can Link Directly To Affiliate Sites On EzineArticles.com So How Do I Do It?

The resolution to this issue is using a little known server trick called domain forwarding. You may have heard of this and just never known what it was or what it did. There are many different things you can do with a domain name. You can point it to name servers for hosting it yourself, you can park it and try to collect some revenue from ads or in this case you can forward your name to the affiliate link you are trying to promote. This action can be done by going into your registrar and setting up a domain forward. Most registrars will also allow you to mask the domain too.

This allows you to forward something like www.buycoolstuff.com to www.coolstuffsite.com/members/?aff_id=953 and when a visitor goes to your link they see the content delivered from the long address, but they will only see your short address in the address bar of their browser.

Why Does Linking To Affiliate Pages Directly Help?

This is a great way for affiliate marketers to send the readers of their content directly to the page that is going to pay them. However, depending on your own marketing plan it may be more important to build up your own web site’s popularity in the search engines. This is totally up to you, but either way now you know to add your affiliate link to ezinearticles.com without getting your article thrown in the trash. Hopefully this concept helps you grow your business and put some extra profit in your pocket!

To Success,
