In my experience yes. A blog post which helps your audience and leads naturally on to getting the affiliate product as the ‘next step’ is much more likely to be effective than a banner. It’s worth thinking about your own behaviour too – how often do you click on banners, compared to links? Personally I rarely click on any kind of banner, but I click on links all the time – especially if someone has given me a really compelling reason to do so in the rest of the blog post! Lovely to connect with you here too 😀

Aw, that’s so good to hear Scott! Let me know how you get on 😀
