    that you can. You can use any method you want. As long as your content makes the product seem interesting enough to buy or is related it should be a great way to do things

    Aside from original content describing the product you're promoting, make the blog look nice, find a nice blog template

    Blog is better place to explain products in detail but and only serious people read blogs for what they are looking for. The problem is to write a lot of articles to support the products

    You can use a blog, but I don't think you can use the free Wordpress blogs to promote affiliate products. The last I knew they were flagging/removing any free Wordpress blogs that linked to affiliate products (unless that's changed now). You can use a Wordpress blog if it's hosted on your own domain though.

    Wordpress Blog is a good method. With Wordpress, there is some very useful plugins to add like "all-in-one-seo-pack" and "google-sitemap-generator".

    Wordpress is a good platform, but register a domain and host your Wordpress blog on one of the paid web hosting. You also want to consider the following for your new website:

    1. Keyword research
    2. Search engine optimization
    3. Site architecture & usability
    4. Web analytics

    I only use blogs to promote affiliate products - I love Wordpress (html is way too tedious for me). I always create a landing page on my blog though to send article marketing traffic to (could also use this for PPC).

    Yes, you can use wordpress blog instead of the static website as a landing page.

    It has some privilegies, but it has some disadvantages in the same time.

    It actually depends what your goals are.

    First of all, you have to decide on which template to use. Your template is the first thing that people will notice so if your template is boring, they may think that your blog too is boring. Find an impressive template and make an impression on your blogs and that will surely be hit.

    Yes you can do it, what type of product are you marketing?

    This works best best for some niches but doesn't for others.

    Hi,
    A self-hosted wordpress blog is great for promoting affiliate products. I wonder what kind of blog template is impressive that it will leave a lasting impression and suitable for promoting products.
