    Hey everyone,
    I'm back - and this time I'm taking action, but I'm still taking the free route. I'm going into article marketing with affiliate marketing in mind instead of AdSense ads. I have now completed my first article [I started today] and have an action plan for the future, however, I have confronted a problem head-on.
    EzineArticles [the king of all article marketing] is now allowing me to post directly to my affiliate link, and I can't write a blog about this article because I have no experience about it and it'll decrease my clickthrough rates.
    Are there any alternatives? At the moment, I was thinking of Buzzle and Suite101 [both are very sophisticated and the clickthrough rates to the site won't be as much as Ezine, but at least they won't get lost] until I am able to buy a domain for every article I submit [or something else comes up.] Buzzle's member registration is down [does anyone know if this is temporary or not?] and Suite101 is pending my application.
    I want a website that will allow me to post directly to my affiliate link or forward to my affiliate link. Any suggestions are welcome, thank you.

    no one will allow you to submit direct affiliate links .you must redirect you visitors to your own website where you can use affiliate links.

    I recommend you create a landing page based on your specific niche and insert your affiliate link in it, after that just send the traffic your article gets to that landing page, which will be used to convert ur traffic.

    Unfortunately they dont allow affiliate links in sigs, so I believe this is the most efficient way.

    I think nobody will allow you to submit affiliate links.

    Create a splash page and fill it with your affiliate code on.

    contentcreat0r had given you the best solution, and that is what I do. A .info domain+cheap hosting. Make a page for every product you want to sell and add a redirect to your affiliate link. Simple as that.
    Cheers and good luck!

    You should want to use a redirect anyway. That way you can switch out vendors if your current offer doesnt perform as expected or perhaps one day you will find a vendor that has a better payout.

    no one will let you post your affiliate link directly. create a landing page send your article traffic there then to your affiliate link.

    I know you can usually do a re-direct with no problem at : go-articles and articles base. It honestly only takes a few minutes to set up a re-direct once you've bought your domain name.

    buy a domain name from godaddy $10 .com or $1.00 .info's
    and just mask your affiliate link. Now you won't have a problem
    submitting your article to ezine articles.

    It is very difficult task to get the affiliate links as most of the sites don't offer such facilities. I am sure only paid links will be available.

    I don't think Ezine will allow a re-direct - even if its masked. @ Lucky Adam: You need to apply to either clickbank or some CPA networks to get affiliate links.

    Exactly.... No need to buy a domain name for every article, especially if the articles are on the same subject/niche.
