What am I( doing wrong?
When I put an article on my website, I add a an affiliate link (pretrty link) to a website I am going to promote.
Doesnt seem to work!
When you click on the pretty link it just takes me back to my own website instead of the affiliate offer sdite.
What am I doing wrong??

Hey Braveheart28,
You need to get the url for the place you want to promote, then highlight the text in your article you want to link from, hit the chainlink in your menu (top of page) Put the url in the place it asked for. It's simple once you've done it. You can also google your question to find out more.

I have had problems with adding links.
I paste the link, then highlight it, then type what I want it to read.
I have also highlighted the words I want the link at, then click the chain icon on tool bar, a window opens, I place the link in the window and hit apply (looks like enter key). Pretty Links
Try bit.ly these never fail. It's a great and customizable alternative to pretty links. Open it in your browser, paste long url then bit.ly will shorten it.
You can then edit it for instance bit.ly/braveheart28 (you'll have to change each new one) just an example.
Hope this helps

Hi Kevin, I don't actually use a plugin. I just go to my Affiliate company, find the product and copy the link in short text(Amazon gives you this option)
Then I go back into my post in wordpress, click and highlight the words where I want my link. Click on the chain icon and paste the link and click on the blue button to add. Done!
I do go back before publishing and check that it clicks through to the Affiliate.
Hope this helps.
Lily 😊
