Affiliate Marketing Articles – Know The Rules!
Affiliate Marketing is a a type of internet marketing where a business (or ‘merchant’) rewards others (‘registered affiliates’) by way of an ‘affiliate commission’ for each customer or sale resulting from the affiliates’ marketing efforts.
If you are writing for affiliate marketers, or are an affiliate marketer yourself, here are some tips on how to place and format links to ensure they are accepted by most article distribution sites:
- Write quality articles that provide real information about the topic
- Don’t include the ‘whole story’. You need to provide just enough information on the topic to encourage readers to click on your link to find out more!
- Where Resource Boxes are used, make the information you include relevant to the article. Don’t use the same Resource Box over and again, unless it relates to the article.
- Don’t put your life story in the Resource Box. Rather demonstrate that you have particular knowledge on the topic of the article.
- Place affiliate links in the Resource Box if one is provided.
- Ideally the author should own the linked redirected URL
- Some directories require that links be to the primary domain (e.g. http://website-name.com), and disallow links like:
- http://subdomain.your-company-name.com/
- http://your-company-name.com/page.html
- http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/page.html
- http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/
- There is no substitute for quality! If you cannot write a good article, get someone who can to do it for you!
Internet Glossary of Terms: What the @%!* does THAT mean?
Are you just beginning to get up close and personal with the internet? Is your interest a little more than using Google to search for what you need?
If your relationship with the internet now involves business, creating websites, earning money and internet marketing, then chances are you have come across internet-specific terms that leave you confused or frustrated. I know I did, and still do!
Well, it’s taken me a while to compile it, but I’ve created a glossary of terms called “What the @%!* does THAT mean” (named after a particularly time consuming search for the meaning of one of those (everyone knows what that means) words.
Simply add your details in the panel on the right, and you will be able to download this glossary of terms – no charge, my gift to my readers.
If you have any terms to add, I’d love to hear from you!

Well now they have not met Kerry Finch. Using Kerry's article writing and distribution service we hit page one within 3 weeks and we had not use any other SEO strategy at all.
To top that, she is a wonderful lady and so, so, so helpful.
My advice stick to what you know or what you do best, and let others do what they do best.
I very highly recommend Kerry to anyone looking to kick butt in any market on the net.

"I’m thrilled to tell you that your advice has made a huge increase in my income! You know that I had already fumbled around and found some useful information on my own, and had some money dribbling in.
But with just a few nuggets of your wisdom and advice, I’ve landed two long-term writing projects just this week! (I equate everything to bills- so these two projects
will pay our mortgage payment)
My next goal is to re-read Overnight Writing Income and find more golden nuggets to put to use padding my bank account!""
"I am new to internet marketing and needed some good articles and blog posts to get me started. Kerry was incredibly helpful, and her service was exceptional. Her articles and posts were not only well written but covered different aspects of the topic incredibly well. Publishing the articles according to Kerry’s suggestions has resulted in driving extra traffic to my site, resulting in increased sales of my eBooks. I couldn’t have asked for more! If you are looking for high quality articles, great service and speedy response, then Kerry is your gal!"
