    I have been doing alot of reading on these boards and I notice that while alot of people say its best to have a blog + landing page their are also others who just have blogs and give links straight to the sales page.

    Im a "new comer" with regards to affiliate marketing so I wanted to ask some experienced users here.

    Thanks in advance

    I always use landing pages. Direct linking is just about dead, in my opinion. It'll never work long term because of quality score and display URL purposes...A lot of people direct link on a new offer just to see if it converts, but I don't really think that conversions direct linking are any indication of how the offer would convert with a LP

    Ever since adwords changed the system to not permit duplicate URL's, landing pages have become essential.

    completely agree. Use the landing page to pre-sell them.
