Enter a description of the image (the keywords, this will be in add an alt tag to image for SEO>)
did that



Now you will see a string that looks like:
< img src="bannerurl" alt="keyword" />

Highlight the whole string and click Link in your wordpress menu.

Now, when I click link here it prompts me for another url , should this be where I put my affiliate url?

When finished you will see
< a href="affiliatelink">< img src="http://bannerurl" alt="keyword" />
(had to add some spaces to get url string to display

Then when you publish or preview you should see the banner and
when you click it should go to the merchant.
It does

Always test your links though to be sure they are tracking.
So after you click, log in to affiliate program and be sure the click showed up.
Sadly, this merchant has horrible tracking , no click counter or anything, its a small operation and I have been getting good traffic to it with so far only one purchase that didn't convert because they claimed that the person abandoned the shopping cart twice in two different attempts 7 days apart. I emailed them about this and they seemed as though they knew all the information the person had typed in but all they told was that it looked odd and that all other affiliates had been converting properly. So, I think I 'll try to get a conversion for a few weeks and if nothing then switch.


Thank you very much for your help. I am sure with the title many others will see it and be helped out, so it was well worth the time and I greatly appreciate it.
