Placing a sales link at the end of every article on the site.

Should this be done if your selling a product?

Hey guys:)

I'm currently writting alot of articles for my site. I will be selling a product and was wondering if i should place a *link* to the product i'm trying to sell at the end of *ALL* articles of my site?

I was wondering because if i have the *linking text* along with the similar *sales text* over and over in articles won't this be seen as "duplicate" content?

For example:

<p>.....blah blah blah...If you are interested in Widgets and need help with repairing your
<a href="widgets.html">Widgets</a>
this site offers this service. Try our service.</p>

>This will be modified somewhat of course but if placed on alot of pages will it possibly be seen as duplicate content since it probably can worded only so many different ways before you run out of different variations.

Q.2. Am i right? I've done quite a few pages and i'm not sure if i can reword it anymore without it sounding the same or looking somewhat the same.

Can you guys advice as to what do?

>>Q.3. Should i only use it on a few pages? I wanted to place it at the end of every article on the site to provide more areas for sales.

>Also i thought i read somewhere that you should not place your sales info and link on every page.

Not sure what to do. I need your guys expert advice. What do you guys to to sell your products? Sales info in every article on your site or not?

Well guys...Thanks for your advice:)
I really need it!
I wanna sell on every page:)

Thanks again fellas.

Don't worry about duplicate content in this context.

Duplicate content is where a large block of text, usually a page, is substantially the same.

If each of your articles is unique, the inclusion of a sentence or even a paragraph at the end will not be injurious.

Heck, if it were, most of us would be zapped for having standard copyright notices at the bottom of our pages.

Oh, as as to whether you should place your sales link on every page - good grief yes!

After all, why else are you writing the articles?
