Conversion Guide

Choosing Where to Place Affiliate Links (So They Actually Convert)

Most affiliate pages fail because the link is placed in the wrong spot, with the wrong wording, at the wrong time. Use this simple framework to increase clicks and sales without “pushy” copy.

The Golden Rule

Don’t place an affiliate link until the reader has one clear reason to click. Every link needs a “why now” sentence right above it.

Example “why now” lines:
  • If you want the fastest setup, this is the tool I’d start with.
  • If you’re in the USA and need a compliant option, this works.
  • If you only pick one, pick this — it’s the easiest to use.

Best Link Placements

  1. After the first benefit (above the fold).
  2. After proof (results, screenshot, demo, quote).
  3. At the end as the “next step”.

Tip: 2–4 links per page usually outperforms 10+ links.

Where NOT to Place Links

  • Before you explain the benefit
  • Inside a wall of text with no CTA button
  • In a giant “link list” with no context

Avoid: “Click here” with no reason = low trust, low clicks.

Words That Convert (Without Sounding Spammy)

Good CTA button text
  • Start Free
  • Try the Tool
  • See Live Results
  • Get Access
Better “why now” lines
  • This is the simplest option for beginners.
  • If you’re in the USA, this is a safer choice.
  • This is the one I’d use first to avoid headaches.
A high-converting mini-structure:
Problem: What the reader is struggling with
Solution: What your recommended tool does
Proof: Quick reason to trust it
CTA: One clear button

Top Mistakes That Kill Conversions

  • Too many links with no “best pick”.
  • No CTA button (text links alone usually convert worse).
  • No trust cue (who it’s for, what it does, why it’s safe).
  • Sending traffic to blocked offers for the visitor’s location (USA is strict).

Paste-Ready Link Box Template

Copy this template into your pages whenever you recommend a tool.

✅ Recommended Tool
Why: One sentence that explains the benefit.
Best for: Who this is ideal for.
Next step: What to do after clicking.
Tip: If you use traffic exchanges, keep it simple: 1–2 buttons, one clear promise, no popups.
Next step
If you want something visitors actually come back for, use the scanner + alerts — then place your best link using the template above.
