Direct linking is when an affiliate advertises on search engines like Google through "Pay Per Click" traffic without any website of their own.

A direct linker will send traffic direct from their Google ad, straight through their affiliate link, to the website of the product you are promoting - with no review or pre-sell page.

This has several benefits. For a start, its a massive time-saver. You don't need to set up any site for any new campaign you promote.

This has a knock-on benefit: it makes testing a quick and painless process, so you can quickly disregard the losing campaigns, and focus on the winners, perhaps actually going to the trouble of setting up your own website for the top performers.

Another benefit of direct linking is that there is almost no learning curve. You are literally just writing a few Google ads, choosing some keywords, and keeping your eye on the bottom line. There's no techie knowledge required to code, design and upload web pages or write any "sales copy". In short, direct linking makes affiliate marketing a piece of cake.

Of course, not every direct linking campaign will be successful - and there are several issues to watch for here.

One point is that all keywords are not created equal. For example, buyer keywords such as "buy fat loss guide", or the keywords of actual product names (eg "Fat Loss 4 Idiots") are likely to perform extremely well.

A great example of this is a campaign that we ran recently promoting a hosting company, which netted over $16,000 affiliate commissions in the space of a just a few weeks. This was a pure direct linking campaign, and the incredible news is that we were able to generate over $500 from just ONE keyword. This is the power of direct linking when done correctly.
