Top of list:

If you want to promote multiple products in one article then make sure that you have inserted the links on the top of the article. This is because most people do not read the whole article. They just skim through the necessary details. So if you will add the links at the end it will not make visibility and eventually you will not get the required number of sales. On the top of the list, these links will be readily visible to reader and there is more possibility that they will click the link to buy the product.

Website space:
