Include Affiliate Links in your posts
One of the easiest ways to increase conversions in your affiliate content is to link to the same product multiple times. Unfortunately, many affiliates go for the one-and-done approach.
The key is using enough links to improve conversions without looking desperate or spammy!
To increase your affiliate link density, try some of these tips:
- Link directly to reviews instead of only the product page.
- Link to a return policy or shipping guidelines.
- Reference the product using different anchor text, such as “this product” or “great reviews”, and not only the product name.
- Present the link in different formats, such as buttons, lists, and in-content links.
Here’s an example from Health.com where the first product in their roundup includes three identical affiliate links, all visible at the same time:
You can also include your affiliate links earlier in the article.
One of the key affiliate marketing mistakes that bloggers make is writing their article first, and adding affiliate links second. Instead, structure the article in a way that it’s logical and natural to include your affiliate links early on.
For example, including a “summary” at the beginning of the post of the key recommendations throughout the article. This is not only useful to the reader, but saves them trying to skim the post – which could be thousands of words long – just to find out your recommendations.
Here’s an example from The Spruce covering the best types of vacuum cleaners for different needs, early on in their article:
But be sure to balance this with context. Before you promote too many affiliate links, make sure the reader has had a chance to get to know you first, and see you as an authority on the topic.
