Anyone Any Good With HTML?

11 replies
Hi All

Very frustrated - Trying to finish of a small review site but have a hugely frustrating problem.

The affiliate product which I am promoting have some really smart banners which you can use.

However, all I can do is save them to my computer - I need to put them into my HTML editor so that when clicked on, they will go to my affiliate page.

How do I do this then???

Please help guys - really frustrated

    Usually you just copy the entire code for that banner add and paste that where you want it to show up on your site.

    To answer this question better we will need some more info like what are you using to build your site and are you hosting it yourself, do you have a page going now and want to ad to it or are we talking about uploading the entire site.

    Code:
    <a href="Affiliate Link"><img src="Direct Link To Image"></a>

    You must upload the image to your server first....then once you've uploaded it follow Summit Menon's instructions.

    Okay guys thanks.

    I have a 1 page review style site which has just been done for me. It's not been uploaded yet. I just need to add my review text and my affiliate banners.

    I have a domain name for it and my webhosting is with Hostgator if that helps?

    It depends on the Web editor you're using. With FrontPage there's an 'Insert' feature. First, place the cursor where you want the banner displayed. Then click on the Insert button and you'll get a drop down box with several choices. One of them is "HTML"

    From there you just paste the affiliate code into the field provided and save. Again, In FP you can easily view the page to see if it's placed where you wanted it.

    I'm not familiar with many WYSISYG editors but would assume they are similar. Good luck!

        NVU is buggy. Use Kompozer... It's basically the bug-free version of NVU.

    You need to copy the banner to your computer. Save it. When the banner is saved on it, go to NVU and from there, upload that banner to your NVU server.

    Dude, right click on the image > save it somewhere on your local machine > then FTP it up to a directory on your server.

    Then using this bit of code, point it to both the image and the affiliate link.

    <a href="put the affiliate link here" target="_blank"><img src="point this to where you have the image stored on your webserver"></a>

    Alternatively you can just leave the images where they are and cut and paste the direct link and put that in the img source.
