By Anson Hall

There is no doubt that article marketing is one of the best ways to promote your affiliate products. You will be writing informative articles related to the products you are promoting. You will put one to two links in the articles and you can promote your products with these links.

As a matter of fact, a lot of affiliate marketers love article marketing. This is because it is very effective in terms of promotion. It can help to drive traffic to the affiliate websites. This will in turn help to make more money.

You will probably need to submit your article to various article directories. In most cases you will be submitting to the free article directories. As a matter of fact, most article directories will not allow you to put affiliate links into your articles.

Even if you are allowed to put the affiliate links into the article, the reader may still be able to remove your affiliate ID from the links. In this case you will not be able to make money even if the reader purchase from the merchant.

As a result, you should try to avoid putting affiliate links in your articles. Instead, you will put the urls of your own websites in the articles.

Regarding the content of the affiliate sites. Most affiliate marketers will write informative contents related to the products they are trying to promote. Of course you may also start a business directory in your site. Both ways will work well. However, you should always remember to mask the affiliate details when you put the affiliate links in your site, so that the visitors cannot remove your affiliate ID.

If you have a free ebook in your website, you can consider putting the url of it in the resource box of the article you submit to the article directories. Again, you will put your affiliate links in the ebook. When the reader feel interested, they will click the links and you will be able to make money if they follow the links and make purchase.

You may also be trying to build your own list. As a result, you may put the url of the subscription page in the articles so that you can encourage the readers to subscribe to your list.
