Unique Web Traffic: Use Articles to Increase Affiliate Sales

by Mark Desmond

The questions that need to be answered are, how do we get these articles and then how do we use them to make money or affiliate sales?

Getting the articles isn't that hard but depending on what route you take is either going to be time consuming or very expensive.

The time consuming option is to write the articles yourself. For articles to be effective, you will need to write about 200-700 words . You want to give your visitor a decent amount of information in the article itself so that he gets valuable information from it . To write a 200-700 word article, depending on how knowledgeable you are about the subject and how fast you can type, can take a half hour to 2 hours or even more. You're going to want to write about 10 of these to have any kind of decent traffic come to your site. Then you're going to want to write at least one every day to add to your site. Search engines are looking for sites with good articles to really give them a good ranking. But that's a lot of work. Isn't it?.

The expensive option is to buy these articles from a freelance writer or from a company that specializes in article writing. Most of these companies will probably have articles on just about every subject imaginable. The problem with going this route is unless you can find an up and coming writer who works cheap, you're likely to pay as much as $25 to $50 per article.

But all this work and/or expense will pay off in the long run. Once your site starts moving up the search engine rankings you will begin to see visitor counts that reach thousands per day. The amount of money you make from sales will be more than what you spent on articles.

But how exactly do we use these articles to make money?

Well, there are two ways.

The first way is simply to make sure that the site where the articles are posted has links to your sales page and a sales pitch somewhere on the page. You want this to be clearly visible.

The second way is within the article itself. You can simply add a little pitch at the end to showcase your product or if you want to be really subtle, just put a link to your sales page at the end of the article in the section "author bio." Of course, you can do a combination of both of these ways.
