Hi,

There's probably a really easy solution to this but I just can't figure it out lol.

I have my blog at Blog | The Lunch Box Diet - Best Weight Loss Dieting Plan - How To Lose Belly Fat and I have my opt in, facebook etc, but I just want to put a image in there with a link to my product.

I guess it's effetively an avert. It would be great to track the clicks etc, but i could do this using pretty link which i already have installed. Any idea how i would get an image in the side and just add a link to it?

Thanks

Simon

    You need to add a text widget to your side bar and use this code

    <a href="http://www.yoururl.com" target="_blank"> <img src="yourimage.gif"> </a>
    fill the url and image section with your links

    No reason to overcomplicate this with ad serving plugin if it's just a single sidebar item. @Ken above has it right - just drop an image link in a text widget....done.

      You can't track clicks with a text widget. That is why I responded with what I posted. It's not "overly" complicated. Install the plugin, create your ad and drag the widget in place.

        OP said they had installed pretty links and could track with that. A text box is really all they need then.

        Don't get so wrapped up in making money that you forget the important things in life.

          And there are lots of ways to track links without using an ad tracking or serving plugin. Starting with a simple link ID appended to the url, google analytics conversion tracking, etc.

            Geez, I was giving the OP a simple solution that had everything built in and worked out of the box.
