How To Create Effective Affiliate Links

Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective means of earning an online income. A lot of expert and newbie internet marketers alike are into affiliate marketing in order to make money online. The problem though, newbie internet marketers are not experiencing the kind of success that the experts are experiencing.

It is not really something rocket science that separates the experts from the ones that are new. It is as simple as creating the affiliate links correctly.

So whats with affiliate links? We should all remember, affiliate links are not created equal. Some links are better or superior than the others.

I am now going to spell the beans here and the experts are going to hate me for this.

When creating your affiliate links, you should not put the links as is or as its naked link as created from the affiliate network or product page of the product you are promoting.

The first step is to use keywords to represent your link. The keywords should be the one the user sees not the affiliate link itself.

 Not only because it is more beautiful to the eyes than the affiliate link itself but it is interpreted by google as representing the keyword itself. And if that KEYWORD is a highly searched keyword, more people would be drawn to your affiliate product because when people use the keyword for their search at Google, your affiliate link page maybe included in the search results.

The second step is to create links by commenting on blogs and other relevant articles.However, do not spam just for the sake of creating affiliate links, make sure your comments add value to the article topic itself.

In most blog and article comment system, you are allowed to put your NAME, WEBSITE and the COMMENT itself.

In doing so, do not put your name on the name field but the KEYWORD you are targetting, for example if your name is Arthur and the keyword you are targetting is "FIND A HOTEL", put the word FIND A HOTEL in the name field. Then the affiliate link on the WEBSITE field then your comment on the comment box. The affiliate page to whom your keyword is now linking would be more search engine optimized. Go ahead now, make affiliate links the proper way and make more money online!
