Help, I need a Squidoo Amazon ad template

I tried the one that came with my purchase of Squidproquo but I didnt like it. Right now it looks like amazon threw up in my module. Does anyone have a template or can you recommend a template? If you want to see my ad issue, the link is in my signature below.

Any help is appreciated

    It's not that terrible! Not beautiful alignment, certainly, but I've also seen a lot worse.

    Doesn't Squidoo supply this, among its "Amazon modules"? (It used to, when I used them, but I admit this is probably out of date, now). :confused:

      There is also a free variant which is excellent. Takes a bit more work fetching the link info but you can configure the look of the ads, ad infinitum

    Doesn't look that bad, seen a lot worse as has been said. I use simple code for 3 product boxes and then 4 product boxes, looks pretty decent and the lenses convert ok. If thats the kind of thing you are looking for, PM me and i'll give you the code.

    @Alexa - I am an affiliate so I'm using my own ads and not the squidoo module

    @Mrdomains - Thanks, I didnt know they have a box builder. I used them to convert the amazon ads to a squidoo format but I missed the part where they had a building tool for the boxes.

    If all else fails, I will use the squidproquo template. Thanks for the replies all.

    Try Squidcrafter. This is based on the Squid Pro Quo template but it does the alignment for you so that everything looks more level.

    You may also want to shorten the product names so that they are level too.

    Here is an example of what it looks like with the Squidcrafter template:

    I would be interested to know what you think - of the template, not the lens, lol.

    Also -I think more white space is needed in your text - ie break up your paragraphs into small chunks so that people are not blinded by a wall of words. Just my opinion

    I agree get yourself the Squidcrafter software it will make life a whole lot easier and also give you more layout options for future lenses

    By the way, nice lens despite the formatting issue
