I had the same problem with my "TheSource" weekly expert articles on my site http://lowprice4u.com/TheSource/TheSource.asp.

Here's my suggestion and what i do...

1) Make sure logo and info are there so the vistor knows who is providing this good free service/information...

2) Simply added thumbnails with links and descriptions of related products and services to the right hand side of my page where the article is.

3) I also added send this page to a friend button with a description box (note I record everything that is put in the box and use it improve the site).

It will help with the conversion a little, but don't expect a miracle without high correlation you will never make much sales.

But on a positive note you can be building posiitve brand awareness which helps in the long run!!!
