shareasale links

[Ali]

I know there aren't supposed to be any dumb questions, but I feel like I am asking one!

I recently became a member of "shareasale", because they has a product I want to promote. Their site is much harder for me to understand than Cj and clickbank.

Basically, you get this report with links on it that you are supposed to use, but when I try to post them to my site (I even tried a blog), they just appear as text. I am really confused here, can anyone help?

Thank,
Ali

Hi Ali,

Yes there are no dumb questions. We've all been where you are at one point.

1st off when you say you got a report with links, that puzzles me and I wonder what you are referring to. Are you just saying you joined the merchant and there is a list or page of links?

Do you know how to do an HTML link? To get the link to be live on your site you need to use the following format.

<a href=\"http://www.greenwidgets.com/\">Best Green Widget</a>

Sorry it inserted \ backward slashes, delete use those.

Sorry if that's too basic, but it sounds to me like you are just adding the raw link:

http://www.greenwidgets.com

without the href /a> part???

Here's a good tutorial with more info.

Thanks, Linda...

That's probably what it is. I know just enough about html code to get myself in trouble and learn it all the hard way, but I will give that a try.

Thank you...I already love this place!
