Affiliate links can be placed on blog pages either in a sidebar position, at the top or bottom of the blog page or in the body of a post itself. Generally, the most effective position for an affiliate link is placing them within the content of your blog or web site.
Blog or web site affiliate links can be text links, image links or text links embedded in videos. If you have content about a broader subject and you want to lead a prospect to a specific product within that content, a text link is a good way to go. If you are talking about a subject directly related to that specific product or doing a review, an image link works well to give the reader a feeling of possession. Videos can be used to pre-sell the reader on the product and lead to greater conversion rates.
Videos on video sharing sites
Video sharing sites such as YouTube, can be a great way to showcase affiliate products without even having a blog or web site.
