An Alternative Way Of Using Articles For Your Affiliate Marketing

We are all seeking for ways to increase traffic to our sites and preferably through free methods. One of the most popular ways of achieving this is by using articles submitted to article directories such as Ezine articles and Goarticles.

However this is only one of a number of ways you can use articles to drive traffic to your site, another way of course is by submitting your articles as posts to your blogs, but I want to discuss an alternative way of using article and that is a system I call affiliate explosions.

Play on words here, you may have heard the term affiliate land mines and affiliate bombs, well I had to be different and affiliate explosions is the term I use. So what's involved?

This system utilises a squeeze page and your starting point will be picking your niche.

The other things you will need is:

1. Domain and hosting

2. Web site called a squeeze page or landing page

3. A free offer of sorts to attract your visitors into providing you with their name and email

address.

4. An opt in form to collect the visitors personal details

5. An auto responder to automate the system

6. A series of follow up emails to make back end offers.

The above represents the basic requirements when implementing a squeeze page or landing page. So what do we do next? The first thing we need to do is determine our main broadest keyword term for the niche we are working with. Once you have done this you need to conduct some keyword research with your starting point been your main keyword. So these are the steps:-

1. We are looking for keywords associated with your niche that has 100,000 and less competing sites showing on google for your keywords. We are looking to focus upon the long tail keywords that are attracting searches but without the high levels of competition associated with the most prime and popular keywords in your niche.

2. Your aim is to find lets say 15 to 20 of these and write articles built around each keyword. You will need to either do this yourself, or hire some one to write the articles for you. Each article should contain your keyword in the title and once each paragraph, any more than this and you could be accused of keyword spamming.

3. You then link a site map from your squeeze page, on your squeeze page there will be links to each individual article page followed by an advertising link from your article page to your squeeze page.

In doing this the search engines love content, so you are creating a squeeze page and a content site all in one. You are also attracting traffic through searched but lower competing terms, in a short period of time your pages will get indexed. This is an alternative but complementary approach to using articles for your affiliate marketing promotions.
