Hello Fellow Readers,
on the last days I had people saying me that I should hide my affiliate links, but, I have to admit most of the time I prefer to use the affiliate links, so let me explain why!
The first reason is, even that my blog has lots of free information and tips, I am a seller, and when I sell I don´t have to hide myself…
But the main reason (and you should read this one) is that not hiding your links can be really powerful! Why?
Well, google and some other search engines do not like redirect links and not hiding your affiliate links its a good way of having them indexed…
Let me share and example, back in May (day 7) I had a post about a report on “List Building” from my friend Gabriel Aguiñaga, (Click Here To Check The Post) and even that you don´t see the ref link, I am not hiding it… The report is 100% Free but has some backend sales that when my referrals decide to buy I get some commissions…
Now, since I am not hiding the affiliate link, and only as an example, you can visit google.com and search for “criticallistbuilding” (I know its not a keyword other people will search, but its only and example) and you will see my affiliate link as main result:
I am not promoting that same product for long time, and still I can get lots of members signing under me…
Remember that I have told you that the site is free but some members can buy some backend offer?
Well, without promoting, and cause I don´t hide my affiliate links I had $20 in commissions from “Critical List Building”, I know is not much, but its almost 3 month since I promoted it:
I can also understand why people hide their affiliate links and don´t have nothing against it, in fact in some posts can be a good way of doing things, but you should not always do that with all your affiliate links!
With Success
Pedro Sardinha
