I think that's what Freddy was getting at. Mix it up a bit and see what works for you, links in the text, a big link at the end, maybe you make your own promotional button as such.
One thing that I think will put people off is adding those "Order Now" buttons to your review. You want to drive people to the CB page, they might read it, and then decide its worth a buy.
If its on your review, they might see you have to pay and be put off without even looking at it

Reviews should be 1500+ words, blog posts can be much shorter.
Ahhh, I see what you mean now.
While most people will not care what your reviews actually say, they will want two things from a review - it needs to be scannable with sub-headings so they can quickly get the idea of the product, and they will expect it to be LONG with a score at the end out of 10. My rule is reviews need to above 1500 words, with 1 pic per 500 words that is clickable through to the affiliate sales page.
I also advise that you have a conversational tone in any reviews/blog posts - try to connect with your audience on a personal level. You have a much better chance of a sale if you trip an emotional trigger in your visitors minds.
I stay away from "order" or "buy" buttons too - stick with "visit the official site" etc.

For everyone asking about how to "sell" on forums, see my screenshot below.
You can discount the fact they are already an established user as it shouldn't matter too much, however i'll leave you guessing where those link go:
EDIT: Can't post links yet
The post has had 114 views in just over 12 hours. A drop in the ocean..

I've found the opposite. My reviews aren't that long at all, but they are very personable. I added my own twist to this method, which has been working out quite well for me. My top 2 most-clicked article reviews are 671 and 494 words. They also get extremely good click conversions to the hoplink itself.
I sent you a PM a few days ago.

Did you do any split testing? In every split test I have done, a long review had a much higher CTR than a shorter version.
Apologies if I missed your PM, I get a lot of them - I will get round to it later today.

Out of interest, those of you who have been successful, how many links do you post a day?
The thing I'm struggling with is driving traffic to my site. Perhaps the weight loss/toning niche is far far far too saturated to produce any traffic (let alone CB traffic), however I suspect that I am not post enough or targeting the right places. I know weight loss isn't a hungry market and people don't want it right now - I'd probably have better chance at making money to be honest. There is a limit to where I will go though, I don't think I could try and sell money related things to people who are struggling with debt.
At the moment, I'm more concerned about driving traffic to my site than converting it.
If we were talking niches, I'm quite tech savy but I think this niche will cause issues, since most of those tech savvy will be able to spot schemes like this a mile off! If anyone wants to prove me wrong here, please do!

When I was doing this for my weight loss review site, I would sometimes post over 200 links a day on blogs/news articles and shedloads on facebook.
I would go through 50 pages of news results for the last 24 hours, open each page in tabs, comment where I could then move on to te next page and repeat. Then, I'd go through 30 pages of web results for my keyword and do the same.
Spending a few hours doing the above each day, I'd get over 1k+ visitors from them every day.
Post everywhere you can and you will get traffic - don't talk yourself out of it by thinking it's too saturated.

Interesting to know, thanks. Perhaps it's my search teams, as I do tend to struggle to find relevant articles one the niche, even though it's clear there are LOADS out there.
Seems to be a case of, you can find them when you don't want them, but can't when you need them

Today I've posted probably about 50 comments on blogs that relate to my keywords. It's not driving a huge amount of traffic - probably over the course of 5 hours I've had the following:
37 Sessions. 18 from some random source, 11 from Disqus and 5 from Glamour (some other randoms)
That in turn has converted to 4 hops but no sales, however my site has a 97% bounce rate.
At the moment, the stats are too low to gauge where I am going wrong, however I will check again tomorrow to see how the traffic played out over night.
I either need to up my game on comments, or do try another tact. I've been using Google Alerts (I know, I know) however I don't seem to be getting much through, even though we are talking weight loss!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean?
I've been using Google to search the web for articles related to my niche within the past 24 hours.
Has anyone got any good suggestions for management tools? Things that keep track of what you have done, user accounts, forum logins etc

You can search via the web, or you can select just news, which shows only the news sites.

I'm now getting a 39.9% click rate from people that have landed on my site to clicking on one of my hoplinks. I started commenting yesterday and I've had 183 uniques to my site so far. I dropped 79 comments today, probably about 30 or so yesterday. When I first started, it takes forever to find places to drop links and compose comments that stick and get approved. It goes get easier and faster with every hour that goes by. My goal for tomorrow is to drop 200 comments.
Still no conversions yet, but I'm not concerned with that; they'll come as long as I keep focusing on the comments.
I've come across some comments from people that are obviously doing the same thing, I'm not going to give away any details, but good job on taking action and getting it done!
For the fastest traffic, focus on facebook. But I do both facebook and google search because I want the stickability of links dropped on other websites.

Obviously I'm not as good with Google as I thought, since I can't even figure out how to get foreign sites in the results!
Just an update on my stats, however I've been working today at the office so haven't been able to post online:
Since March 1st.
86 unique page views
19 hops
0 sales
22% conversion rate. Really need to rethink, perhaps its the product -
$/sale: $131.94/75% | Grav: 8.50 | Initial $/sale: $52.60
I do have a question to those doing this though.
Lets say your niche is healthy cooking. How exactly do you go about promoting a product about healthy cooking for example, when your own website is full of information on health cooking. Aren't people just going to use this free information?
