My Affiliate Journal - Goal $50,000 - 12 Months or Less

EzineArticles does not allow you to link directly to the merchant site. So you can not put a tinyurl in your author resource box. EZA only allows a top level domain:

e.g. www.yourdomain.com (A link in this form WILL be accepted by EZA)


they do not even allow sub domains on your own top level domain.

e.g. www.yourdomain.com/redirectpage (A link in this form will NOT be accepted by EZA)

So what you need to do is register a domain, then you create an index page which redirects your customer straight to the merchants site through your affiliate link. This will also allow you to add some tracking code to the page which will allow you to track exactly how many visitors are visiting the merchant site through your affiliate link and where they came from.. Now when someone clicks on www.yourdomain.com they are redirected to the merchant's site.

An interesting thing to note though: If you do not want to register a domain and create a redirect page or landing page, you can simply create a squidoo lens and promote your affiliate products from there. EZA allows you to link to a squidoo lens from your resource box. Simply use the squidoo lens as your "landing page"

 

Are you sure? I've had two articles accepted last week by EZA that linked to top level domains AND sub domains such as www.domain.com/something-else.php

 

Im defiantly following this thread im just starting out myself with all the internet marketing and everything and ive heard about making digg and squido pages for the articles can someone expand that alittle more for me? Also wondering how people pump out all these articles i can barely even get one a day if that lol.

 

any updates with this? how are you doing now
