What does writing online articles got to do with affiliate marketing ?


If you don't know this strategy by now, I bet you are missing one of the best traffic and website conversion rate idea ever thought of.

There are hundreds of what we call Online Articles Depository Websites on the internet. Check any one of them and you will realize they are nothing more than some sort of database friendly website keeping online articles submitted by their members.

These websites adopt the basic of designs. Some of them have advertisements on their web pages like random banners and even adsense. A few of them are plain looking.

All of them have categories where you can submit your articles to. It will also tells you how many times your articles have been viewed (not necessarily read), which members contributed the most articles and how many, how many times your articles have been ranked or recommended amongst other things. It all depends on the architecture of the administrators and the articles program.

The active members have submitted articles over tens of thousands and they keep on doing it. So you may be wondering what in the world are they doing ?

On top of that, these websites are never lack of visitors as they are swarmed with visitors every day. Here are the list of things they most probably do

1. Reading articles for information
2. Downloading articles to use for themselves

But those who contribute articles do it because what really want if for their website to be visited. Now how does this go about ?

You see, beside writing about something that is worth knowing and not blatantly considered as advertisement or info spamming, they will include one or two friendly links leading the visitors to websites they want to visit.

So, the articles writers would write in a way that it does not sound like advertising but curious enough for the visitors to click on the links to know more. The huge advantage is that these visitors are actually targeted audiences who in the first place reads the articles because they want more info on what the writer is offering. What happen after the click, I think you know what.
