Article marketing is one of the best methods to drive traffic and promote affiliate products. I have relied heavily on articles to drive traffic to my websites for the past 2 years and I must say it has been working very well for me.

Till now, I have 1002 articles live on Ezinearticles.com, under a few different pen names. Those 1002 articles generated a total of 1,494,393 page views with 229,469 URL clicks.

If you are into affiliate marketing but have not been using articles to drive traffic, I strongly urged you to start doing so.

EzineArticles recently has a article writing marathon challenge: 100 Articles in 100 Days Marathon Challenge (HAHD). If you submit 100 articles under one pen name by 1st July, you can win yourself a special limited-edition EzineArticles #HAHD mug.

Personally, I feel that this serves as a very good motivation for us to write more articles and drive more traffic to our sites.

And I am sure that if you complete the challenge, you will see a significant increase in traffic to your websites.

If you do not have a website, do not worry. In my previous post here, I mentioned how you can use Squidoo and EzineArticles together to make money in affiliate marketing.

Create some content on the product that you want to promote on the Squidoo lens and point all your articles to your lens. Other than driving more direct traffic to your lens, you are also building your len’s link popularity which will help it to rank higher on search engine listings.
