I have a question about placing affiliate links in an article or blog post. Would that be like placing a direct link to a clickbank affiliate banner on one of my sites into the text of an article? What I am wondering is if I will still get credit for the click even though they did not go to my site and then click on the banner from there, or if its something that is discouraged. Thanks!!
If a customer follows your hoplink and purchases the product, you WILL get the commission. It doesn't matter whether the hoplink is text ad or banner.
