Affiliate text links

[richardjamesh]

Hi guys, I managed to add affiliate links to each of my pages.


In my blog I spoke about "stumbling upon blue voda" .

How do I link those words "blue voda" so that they are connected and linked to my affiliate program if that makes sense?

Cheers,

(I don't remember VodaHost rules about keyword usage, but..)

As part of content, Blue Voda can be fully described as a website creation/builder utility (or tool) offered free as part of the VodaHost "package" if you will.
You can also mention it is offered to anyone without obligation to open an account at VH...which is great for self-discovery in website creation skills.
The more you connect Blue Voda to VodaHost, the more opportunity you have to link text to your Affiliate destination. You could even pose a linked invitation, like "See for yourself"...or..."Check it out now!"

And, of course, toward the end of your content, you could simply link VodaHost similarly....

>>> To link text to your unique Affiliate destination (with tracking code intact), right click on your supplied banner to view the HTML coding, usually found by clicking on "Properties" which will then display the custom HTML. There are 2 parts to the code: the unique tracking and destination, and the creation of the image, so you will need to know the difference.

Here is an example of an affiliate banner from my online mall with my unique coded HTML:
<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Xh4dFPEgWqQ&offerid=102786.10000007&type= 4&subid=0" target="new"><IMG alt="LNT Logo - 8831" border="0" src="http://www.lnt.com/graphics/promo/lnt/LNTlogo_88x31b.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Xh4dFPEgWqQ&bids=102786.10000007&type=4&su bid=0">

Hopefully, you can see I highlighted the destination and tracking, and included the instruction that opens a new browser target="new".... this is what you need to identify EXACTLY to copy and paste to the hyperlink tool: you will always be able to find it after the <a ahref=" section of the script....be careful not to copy any quotation mark at the beginning, and to definitely include them at the end of the string....

You asked a great question, for not too many people see the relationship between content and relevancy in ranking websites, either with links or content, and this is the perfect blending of both, favored by SE spiders!

How you decide to compose your content will create the desire for visitors to use your provided link, but then, that's marketing!

Re: Affiliate text links

PS: If you are having trouble with some of the links not opening in new browsers (pop-ups, which is preferred practice), try using target="_blank" instead of target="new"....some link systems use either, and I've often been frustrated having to go back and rewrite all the html strings just to get this to happen normally!

Don't forget to always leave a space before "target" ...and to place the understrike before "blank"...and to always have quotes around your target: new, _blank, or top.....

PPS: Don't forget to read all the "Stickys/Articles" by VodaBot in the Affiliate Forum. They are useful to formulate a basic understanding of Affiliate Marketing.
