How do you put an affiliate link on your blog?

[organicgirl6]

I am putting my first affiliate link on my blog and I am using Word Press. I went to the widgets and added a text widget....when I paste the html code into the text box and go to my page, I see the link is not in the right place. It's cutting into my blog post. How can I fix this so that it is placed right? Please go to my page to see what I mean: toxicbeautyblog.com

Thanks!

Looks like you placed the widget in the sidebar instead of footer?

[organicgirl6]

Yes, I did put it in the sidebar. How do you put it in the footer?

Already went to your blog. I think the problem is a size of banner you used. It is not suitable with your widget size.Hope it help

[ellabram]

of course i did it

[Rully]

It will be good if you put at your footer

[organicgirl6]

Rully-
That is what the company sent me. Thanks!

[organicgirl6]

How do I put it on the footer? I don't see this as an option in the dashboard.

[Rully]

Here is an idea. Put that link at bottom of your article (single post).then make your google adsense at your sidebar and choose a suitable format of adsense for sidebar.

Or if you have right to choose affiliate link format you should choose a suitable one. Hope it help :-)

Thank you....I'll try that!

Rully-

I tried to put it in the blog post on the bottom. It does not appear as a link, you can see all the code....Ugh I am so clueless.

[Rully]

On dashboard, go to the editor panel and choose a single post.php Then put a link just before a comment formation. But btw who's put that google adsense code ?. If you can find a singlepost.php the problem solved. Keep trying ok I believe you can do that :-)

I do it manually instead of using widget. Since it will be only one time, so I think it is worth the effort.

I think you can put your Adsense on the sidebar. If you know html, you can add the Adsense code under the sidebar.php for wordpress.

Same with the affiliate link.

If you really need help, you can PM me your sidebar.php with your adsense code and the affiliate link. I will help to add it in for you.

You want to place the adsense in the footer of your blog all you have to do is go into themes for wp then go to edit once you do that you can just go to footer and add in the adsense code you would like. I am assuming that it is your adsense not really an affiliate link.

I can so totally can relate to what you are going through, i have so much information to digest, great people have explained to me exactly how to make money online, but i still don't know how to put an "Amazon" affiliate link on a template webpage or other common things...I just submitted my first article to ezinearticles and i'm waiting to hear...

[fthomas137]

This was a very insightful thread. Simply because I've been working on a wordpress beginner to intermediate video course and I've discovered that I've been assuming too much.

I have to remember that I went through all the same trials and tribulations too!

So, thank you very much.

PS, I hope you got all your questions answered. If not, please shoot me a reply or a PM and I'll be glad to answer.

Hey mate,

Take a look at this link WordPress › AVH Amazon WordPress Plugins . It's a plugin designed for just this task in wordpress.

Good find! I know, I've posted well over 4,000 posts in the past and I still try to put html code on the visual tab and not the html tab.

Frank.
