Copying Banners

How do I copy banners from a CPA site creatives to use in content campaigns? I can't seem to be able to figure out how to save them as gif files to upload.

    Most of them will supply a code for you to use and the image will link back to their own hosting so you need not worry about it. Some cpa networks do not supply this, so you just right click on the banner image and click "save as" to put it on your hard drive. Then, you need to upload the image to your own website hosting and link to that image on your own hosting when you post the banner somewhere, and of course create a link from the banner itself linking to your affiliate link.

      If that doesn't work hit the Print Scrn key on your keyboard and paste it in photoshop. then chop it up. ( only non-animation.)

      When I am uploading my banners it comes from the browse function to get from my hd. I then put in the destination url. I don't see how I can use the cpa's creatives in this manner. I am wanting to do testing on both my own lp's and direct links. So far I have been making all my own banners, but would like to figure out how to test the ones given as creatives. Especially like to see how the animated ones do.

    If you are saying the banners are in html then you can drag the banner onto your desktop and then you will be able to save it.

      To copy an image from a website, you right click it. A drop down menu will appear, pick "save image as" and save it to your computer. So you can view the banner on the CPA site, right click it to save the image.

      When you build it into your webpage, you will also need to copy the linking code from the creative on the CPA site and use that as your link destination in your webpage.

      If you copy the creative from your CPA company, you can insert it in your HTML code on your webpage. It will automatically download the banner image from the CPA network and it will show up on your web page.

      If you are using the banners on your webpage, its a lot simpler to copy the entire link and just insert it into your webpage's HTML language.

      Im not sure if thats what you are asking, but thats how to do it both ways.

      BINGO. Sorry to be so naive, but that was the trick. Just starting out doing banners so learning the ropes. Really appreciate all the input.
