    Sorry i put this in the wrong category, here it is:

    Hi...am I allow to write an article, that explains my experience with an affiliate product and also promotes it, asking the readers to click on the affiliate link? Is this allowed in Articles...I know its allowed in Blog posts..but an article that I will submit to isnare and ezinearticles?
    If its allow...can anyone find any examples of this?

    EzineArticles specifically says no affiliate links and they have been pretty strict in enforcing this. If you want to promote an affiliate product with them you will have to create a landing page and point your link to that.

    Lots of other article directories don't seem to care, but then you won't get much (if any) traffic from them either.

    Thanks..after thinking about it for a bit...is this allowed:
    In the resource box, I will include a link, like www.abc.com; when the
    reader goes to that URL, they automatically get redirected to the affiliate link....therefore, all i would need to do is buy a domain and forward it to the affiliate link. Is this allowed in the resource box?

    I'd stay away from that...because you do want a good reputation and a good name in article marketing. Why not just create a landing page where you presell the product...something that works awesome is providing additional info and linking to choices (aff links for 3 similar products) (like 3).then you actually look like a nice person not a desperate affiliate. That's the approach I use....I'm sure there are others
