hey guys, just wondering how many links does a user have to go through before he makes a purchase on your sites? Just wondering because I am currently doing something like this: short article > lengthened article > review of a product > products sales pages my thinking behind this was that the original article will just prime the users to read the lengthened article and at the end of that i will say "and for even better tips i suggest XX product (users can go straight to sales page there) or you can click here for our in depth review on that product" what do you guys think about this? and then do you think i could put links throughout the lengthened article? so say if i say "great tips for this niche" in the article i could make this a link directly to the product? just incase any users dont need that much selling on the product? thanks for any replies and i hope i made what i meant clear enough for you guys
Your way is too long, and your user might not each the merchant's page... So instead write a mid article, then send a visitor to your review page and then sales page. It's proven to work. In regards of links, you shouldn't have any links in the body of your article, but you could use them in the body of your review.
cheers bl4ckman, the only reason i am thinking about going this way is because i am trying to incorporate a site i already have to be clickbank ready, it already has about 50 articles so i was thinking about writing some product reviews and some small articles to submit to ezinearticles to get traffic. but ill probably just link the small articles to the product reviews and maybe one or two to some of the articles to get some traffic to the site itself as well
well am not an authority to speak on this but common sense says to keep things as simple as we can, no to give to many oppertunities to the visitors to think or opt out ...
