Her steps are:-
1. Find a good and reliable product/services, ebook or anything
2. Write 3 to 5 high quality (according to her pay attention to content first, keyword second) article.
3. Leave the article author signature section with a link to the the landing page (affiliate link must be cloaked - better results)
3. Submit those article to 20 top directories.
4. Wait.
5. Sales comes in periodically, but when you have various product and article, it tends to be almost every other day...
I believe this will work, but I am not sure how much the conversion ratio of sales...
Anybody have done like this before...

Yea...I'm doing it now with the birth control blog. You get better results if you can keep up the pace of adding a couple of article a week and you have multiple sites.
The secret in in the keywords and the number of article you submit per product/affil. It ain't really gonna work if you write 1 or 2 articles. The more you've submitted the more chances you have at geting click thrus and someone using the artcle on their site.
The article will show up in Google really fast and stay a high in the rankings but they but they don't stay on the first or second page forever, thats the reason you want to keep submitting articles centered around the same non-competitive keywords. Over time the content on your site (if you linking to a site as well as an affil) takes the place of the articles submitted to directories.
The problem to over come is writing articles associated with products you don't know anything about! I'm struggling a little with writing number of articles I need. My case is specific tho'...I can't link to a store to sell prescription drugs from the article...it's a rule that a lot of places enforce (I didn't know that when I started)
Ezines has a very strict policy about putting product names in article titles...they reject them and then you have to fix it and resubmit. In my case I'm pointing the link to a "product info page" that has a link to buy at the bottom and one of the "reviewers" had a problem with it...I waited a while and resubmitted
I've never linked directly to an afill page or a page to purchase a product in ezines. I would think they don't like it but I'm not sure...other article directories are less strict.
As with all things the devil is in the details...If your not a copywriter, getting 3-5 articles submitted then submitting 2-3 a week for as long as it takes to get the machine running can be a hellish experience and a lot of folks give up.
