Are affiliate links ok or are they against the TOS, it should be classed as solicitation correct ? I never really noticed it untill today, i click on several posts and they all contained links to amazon with an affiliate code in the URL, it looks like "&tag=xxx". It is against the TOS right ??
Yea, the 4 pages i ran across from this poster all had links in them to amazon. And also in the same post were the same 2 users with the exact same affiliate code in the link. coincidence ??

That is a tough one and context would make a difference. If the link goes to a specific item that was the subject of the question, I would let it go. That is unless all the users answers were that way. If it just goes to the affiliate page or the store front, that is definitely a violation.

I just want to promote affiliate links without all the fuss of emailing, blogging, joining heaps of safelists and different programs etc. The learning curve is too steep. Help !

Don’t go for pay-per-click unless you’re extremely confident about your product because you might end up spending a lot and not getting the worth of it.

Alternatively, you can go to forums and promote them there but really, on the internet, ‘reputation’ matters. And people judge your reputation by how good and popular your blog is.

So bottom line, there is no ‘easiest way’ to earn from being an affiliate link. What you can do is focus on one method and master it.

i sell a product on my site. Now i want to know the affiliates who are drawing the maximum traffic to my site.

while signing up for affiliates business with any network they will provide you all the important links through emails. You can try website analyser, sign up with a good one and paste the html code on your site. This way you can easily see the numbers of visitors to your site and from where they are coming.

Any websites or bogs, please help me!

what are the affiliate links? hwat does it mean when the guide of a website for submitting articles does not accept affiliate links?

To clarify, affiliate links are links to some sort of store or service, that were placed by a someone acting as a salesman who receives a commission from that store for sales or leads.

Affiliate links are identified by an affiliate I.D. code added to the address: an affiliate of TeddyBearPlace.com may provide the link: TeddyBearPlace.com?af=Wg6fgH6J32.

Yahoo Answers rules imply a prohibition of affiliate links: "it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain." Good answers citizens use the Report Abuse button to help reduce the proliferation of affiliate links.

To comply with an affiliate prohibition, an affiliate will create their own intermediate site or web page to submit to the article site, perhaps: TeddyBearLover.com that indirectly sends them to the store.

Certain devious browser add-ons actually identify when an affiliate link has been clicked, and will substitute the add-on maker’s affiliate code in place of the one the user had clicked, therefore stealing the commission.

"affiliate link with campaign ID" which link do I put on my website to get the commission? what is the difference in the two? Anyone out there familiar with this affiliate stuff?

I am guessing that the affilaite link is for most people but if you want to track the earnings from different campaigns (Adwords, Organic, Links from a particular website for example) then you would use the second of the two links.

I want to make a masked domain for an affiliate link but I am not sure how to go about it. Can someone please walk me through the procedure? Thank you!

I went onto GoDaddy, bought a cheap domain and set up forwarding. Go ahead and Google it

I use Google ad sense on hubpages but also heard ezine was good but wanted to know If I could use affiliate links and make use of Google ad sense

You cannot run adsense on ezine articles but you can advertise your affiliate link discreetly in your bio box.

You might want to try squidoo which is similar to hubpages.

I have been using html editor Nvu but suddenly it has started to trouble me. i am unable to upload affiliate links in my websites. In the place where the ads have to appear i type xx xx and then go to source and paste the affiliate links and it has always worked very well, but suddenly it is failing what should i do?

You need to reload it again.
