What is meant by the resource box instead of the generic one?

Nov13

Reprint rights: You may reprint this article in its entirety on your web site, newsletter or eZine. You may not alter the contents or the resource box. The exception to this is that if you are a affiliate owner, you may put your own affiliate link in the resource box instead of the generic one. How do I do this? What do I have to do to put my affiliate link of another link

You have found an article that you can post up somewhere. However, you may not alter the article or the links that the article has. The links that are in the “about the author” or “resource box” (typically the last paragragh of the article) can be altered if and only if you have an affiliate link.

This means…

The author has an affiliate program. If you are a part of it, you will have an affiliate link. This is a link that you post up on the internet to generate traffic for the program. If your traffic buys something on his site, you get a commission.

The author allows the replacement of affiliate links because he will still get business if someone clicks on the links. It’s a smart tactic to encourage others to promote his product. Although affiliate marketing isn’t for everyone… Affiliate programs can cost money if they provide training as well. And if you don’t generate enough customers to pay for your fees, you lose out.

Generally, you should NEVER edit any links in an article not made by you. This is copyright infringement.

Hope it helps!

Sincerely,
Devin T.

    Most people will write articles to promote some kind of affiliate product/service.
    I guess this means that you can use the content on your own site/blog and replace the affiliate link with your own affiliate link if your part of the same affiliate program being promoted.
