    Ezinearticles do not allow affiliate links, and many article directories follow the same policy.
    Which article directories allow us to put affiliate links, especially Clickbank hoplinks?

    Not sure if any of the main ones allow this, but what you can do is buy a cheap domain. Perhaps something like richineverysense.info and through your domain tools with when you buy the domain (dont even need hosting I don't think) you can redirect the domain to an affiliate link / clickbank link and Ezine articles do accept this - as long as it is from the top level domain, so for just a couple of $s to buy a .info domain this can be a decent option.

    They explain this better themselves:
    http://ezinearticles.com/editorial-guidelines.html
    (scroll down to section 3 at the end)

    Ezines definitely do - here are their official guidelines + I have submitted some there like this very recently myself:

    zineArticles.com Editorial Guidelines: (AFFILIATE PROGRAMS):

    Affiliate links will be allowed if the link is a domain name you own which forward/redirects to the affiliate link from the top-level of the domain name. For example, it is permissible to forward to an affiliate link from:

    http://your-company-name.com/

    ...but it would not be permissible to forward to an affiliate link from:

    http://your-company-name.com/page.html
    http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/
    http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/page.html
    http://sub-domain.your-company-name.com/

    Any article with an affiliate link that does not adhere to this guideline will cause the article to be rejected.

    I believe you can get up to five free domain names from Co.CC and then re-direct them without hosting.

    What if you have your own domain name and it's a sales page? It's a real domain, not an affiliate, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?

    They are right, use a top-level domain to redirect to your affiliate links.

    I do this in Ezine, GoArticles, ArticleAlley, ArticleDashboard, IdeaMarketers with no problem.

    Yes, those are the rules at Ezinearticles and they will reject your article if you do not adhere to those rules. Your best bet is to have your own domain page and then redirect your affiliate links from there.

    You can use Affiliate links on Ezine Articles as long as they are cloaked. I recommend using a php redirect script

    Use simple cloaking plugin like ILWP for wordpress, but for the best use website instead.
