For a site like yours that is sort of like a shopping mall where multiple types of products are sold, I would write articles for each category your have and then have the link in your resource box go back to either your main page or the page that lists the items in that specific category. For example, I would pick a category at your site, such as “Travel/Vacations” and write an article entitled “The Top 10 Vacation Destinations for Christmas” (or something like that). In the article, you would not write about specific affiliate products you have at your site, and you also wouldn't be able to give any affiliate links in your resource box, but you would be able to give a link to your website and from there a reader could click one of your affiliate links. That is a way to write an article for a product based site–you could do other articles like that to address different areas of your site–Jewelry, Apparel, Bags, Electronics, Automotive, etc–you just have to come up with an idea (and occasion) as to why someone would be buying it, and then craft an article that addresses the occasion, rather than tries to sell the product. I hope that helps! Hi Jake,

Would it be more beneficial to write an article about one niche or writing an article about a few others? Just a concern I have being that the nature of the website is a affiliate shopping mall and carries a few different product categories. Just looking for some advice. Thank you very much for this article. This is very good helpful information and guidelines for writing article about many different subjects.

Anything overly short or long can have limited appeal to publishers. Generally speaking, ezine editors and other publishers are not looking for articles that are much shorter or longer than this. This length fits into ezines well, and looks about right on web pages too. I hope this helps! Hi Kevin,

Lee, you have different areas of merchandise at your site, consider writing articles for each area--you have to get creative with this! If I were in your shoes, I would pick a category at your site, such as "For Pets" and write an article entitled "The Top 10 Gift Ideas For Pet Lovers". In the article, you would not write about specific products, but list 10 types of products that you have on your site, such as plush pet beds in designer colors, artistic dog bowls, pet carriers that make humans look stylish, etc... You would not mention your own site in the article, but could say "I've seen dog carriers that look like designer purses--any stylish pet lover that has a small dog or a cat would scream for joy if she received one of these as a gift." Then in your resource box you could say, "Looking for the ideal gift for the pet lover in your life? Visit [link here] and receive 10% off your first order." That is a way to write an article for a product based site--you could do other articles like that to address different areas of your site--Electronics, games, collectibles, etc--you just have to come up with an idea (and occasion) as to why someone would be buying it, and then craft an article that addresses the occasion, rather than tries to sell the product.
