    Honestly, if all they have to do is copy/paste - what's the difference? Do you think one is easier to copy than the other?

    And before you ask your 1562nd question:
    - the URL in the href is missing the http//: - there is NO url without http:// only for Microsoft morons in Word...
    - before com (in the red portion) there should be a dot not slash!

        It will improve the look of your affiliates' pages because not including the dimensions in the code can cause their page to "jump" around while loading. For strictly correct HTML, you should always include dimensions with IMG tags.

        Including the dimensions actually increases page load time, as well. Since the browser already knows the dimensions that you have pre-set, it can 'set' a place that exact size into the proper place on the page, allowing it to move on to displaying the rest of the page while the image is still loading.

        What this means to the visitor, if it's a large image, is that the browser will continue loading the rest of the page as well now, instead of waiting for the whole image to load first, then the rest of the page.

        Otherwise, the visitor might be stuck sitting there for a minute waiting for the graphic to load, with nothing else happening underneath. Some people, such as those using dial-up, won't stay on the page long waiting for the image to load if they can't just scroll on down and start reading the text parts immediately.

          Agreed, no harm done if you leave out the dimensions.
