    A Quick Recap of the 12th "2 Minute Approval Tip" - Affiliate Marketing - Affiliate marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice where businesses pay affiliates for each visitor or customer brought in by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. The affiliate acts as brand spokesman who spreads the word about the product. Affiliate programs use affiliate links to track the number of visitors brought in by each affiliate.
- Section 3 of the Editorial Guidelines - EzineArticles accepts affiliate links in the Resource Box of articles as long as they follow Section 3 of the Editorial Guidelines. Read and become familiar with these guidelines if you plan on taking part in affiliate marketing.
- Link Ownership - Affiliate links are allowed if the link is a domain name you own which forwards/redirects to the affiliate link from the top-level of the domain name. So, if the link redirects from a top-level domain that you own, like your-company-name.com, and it goes to your affiliate link page, that's okay. However, if the link redirects from a domain that you do NOT own, the link and the article won't be accepted by EzineArticles.
- Subdomains and Subdirectories - We don't accept affiliate links that redirect from a subdirectory on a site that you own, like your-company-name.com/affiliate-page/, or a subdomain, like affiliate-page.your-company-name.com
- Standards and Expectations - Affiliate marketers are held to the same standards and expectations set up in the Editorial Guidelines as for all Expert Authors. They are expected to provide quality, original content in every article they submit.
