Article Marketing for Affiliate Sites

May 09, 2008

Creative Article Marketing has a post up about the best way to write your articles (for article marketing) to drive traffic back to your product-based site (which, if you're like me, means an affiliate site that focuses on tangible, physical products rather than infoproducts).

I've been doing a fair bit of article marketing for the past six months now, and this was the exact problem I mulled over initially - if I wanted to get backlinks to a site that promotes shoes, for example, what kind of article should I write?

It always seemed so much easier to me to write articles related to sites that either promoted infoproducts - which typically help solve a problem - or and Adsense-based site, which also typically helps solve a problem.

The approach outlined at Creative Article Marketing (which is the blog for SubmitYourArticle) is what I use now when writing most of my articles for article marketing purposes. It's a good write-up, and should help to inspire you if you've been trying to figure out how to write an article for physical product-based affiliate site.

Hi Belle,

Thanks for the mention--glad you enjoyed the article. :-)

You're so right--doing article marketing for a product site in the way we've outlined is much more subtle (and requires a tad more thinking) than just saying "buy my product!", but it's totally worth it.
