Good plan! One suggestion though. On your landing page I would only put outgoing links that go to your money page, ie. your (cloaked) affiliate link. :) That way someone either proceeds to your money page or closes the site down. Easier to track conversions. If your landing page doesn’t convert well now you will know it is because you are not pre-selling well enough. :)

Thanks Oliver! I’d just be concerned that having a landing page on a blog, without it actually being a blog, would turn people off. I know when I see a page like that, I click away and don’t take it seriously. Do you think that it doesn’t matter?

I’m still in the midst of testing that myself but other people got it to work, so it is possible I think. It probably has to do with the mind set… if you find a blog when looking for information and the blog tries to sell you, you click away… if you come to the blog with the intention to buy, you buy.

If you can’t get blogs to convert you could still go with Squidoo landing pages. People get those to convert for sure. :)

That’s a good point - if the blog doesn’t convert well I can just go back through and change the link in my resource box for my squidoo lens.
