Instead of creating an amazon link that includes the photo, can I just download the photo onto my computer, then upload it to my website and then tie it to the amazon text link

Hi there, did you get it fixed jet?
Let me know..
Tom

Hi Tom, what I decided to do was to find the picture that I want to use and save it to my desktop. I then uploaded the image to the post, clicked on the image and added the link to it. To me, that seems like a pretty primitive way to go about it and I'm sure there are visual editing plugins that I can use but I am just too much of a rookie at this point I guess. Any and all advice is welcome, thanks for asking, Jim

I am having the same problem

Go to your Amazon account, choose the product you want to display on your website, at the top of your Amazon account you have the Amazon Associates Site Stripe tab, and then the Get Link tab with the choices of "text", "image", "text + image".
For me, I choose the text and image link because it displays both picture and the product description. Copy the Text+Image Link created below after pressing the text + image link.

I've got the part about what link to use and where to get it. My question is, I would like to know where to put the link. Does it get pasted into the code portion of my website on wordpress? Not sure where it goes, thanks!

In case your question is not yet answered. Just place it on the widgets.

Here is where Kyle tell you how to do just that: I hope this clears it all up. If it's not in this one, then let me know and I will look a little harder for it. I know it is in one of the lessons in Level 3 that I have already done. It would be in the video where he shows how to add the link to pictures.

For some reason it seems like the keyword tool is not working for me...not sure why

Mine is not working either. At first, the keyword phrases I used before (and came up with result) now says there is no results. Then now I get an error "Did not receive a '200 OK' response from remote server (HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Service Error)". I was wondering new Jaaxy feature has something to do??? I am sending the ticket to support (but then I found yours) Hopefully we get some response!

it works now, how about you?

No, still getting an error.. :(

Try it now, I think WA integrated it somehow with Jaaxy and now we actually have more functionality within the WA platform with Jaaxy and it's no extra charge. I just completed some training as well.

Still getting an error message... :( I even deleted the cookies. I have sent the message to the support but it ended up classrooms. I used to be able to send the message to the support and they responded to me. Strange!

Ok, now it looks like working! Thank you!

Here is some code for an affiliate link that I want to link to a photo of a book that I am talking about in my post...



I would first recommend going into Word Press, then to your blog post on the book. Underneath the photo type in "Get Your Copy", or "Get This Book Here", and then click & drag your cursor to highlight those words, then right click and select Insert/edit link button. From there, just enter the URL of your affiliate link and hit enter and you should be good to go. Don't forget to save/publish after!

For further assistance, check out this guide:
https://easywpguide.com/wordpress-manual/adding-html-links/inserting-an-html-link/

You can add it anywhere you like , just click the link tab in the tool bar and then click apply or you can click on the photo and add the link that way too, good luck.
Daniel

Wow, I'm confused, when I typed this question I pasted just a bunch of code and it actually changed into the link itself, LOL. I couldn't get that to happen with my website

This is what they say "the answer lies within the question itself".... LOL!!
Cheers!

Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

I have been writing all of my posts by going to siterubix and signing in on site manager. This takes me directly to the back office of my site. I then click on either add pos

I write all of my content from site content editor. This way I can keep track of posts, word count etc. I also find it easier than to write everything in Wordpress.
With Grace and Gratitude
Karen

That's interesting experience and a question to be answered. I haven't use yet the Site Content so I'll wait for their answers.

Uh...

I never used site content, except for privacy policy

neither did I until today and I moved about 12 posts over into site content so I could get the stats on it. It wasn't too big of a deal since I only had a dozen posts

I was also a bit confused about this at first, but I believe what you should be doing is creating all of your content by going to Site Content. Edit any content by going to Site Manager after you have created it.

I'm not sure if what you are doing actually poses any problems, but when you use Site Content you can use templates built in there as well as the grammar and spell check functions built in there. How are you doing spell and grammar checks of your content?

If you made it to a rank of 257 with 15 articles primarily created under site manager, I'm not certain if that really is connected to rankings if content is created in one or the other.

I've always been obsessive with spelling and grammar, LOL. My main concern was not so much rankings within WA but with the google rankings of my posts. I've not had any of my posts rank yet but I've also been told that it takes many months for that to happen. I think that going forward I'll just be sure to create the content in site content and I may go ahead and try to copy some of the articles over to site content as well. Thanks for the help!

Hi, how do you edit content on Site Manager? I edited it through Site Content then realised it didn't update Wordpress. So I edited through Wordpress then it didn't update the post on Site Content. Am I missing something? Appreciate some clarity around this. Thanks!

No I believe you are 100% correct. Either way I have had to edit copy on both word press and site content. Unless someone out there knows something that I don’t which could very well be the case, LOL

To use Site Content, you have to click on SiteRubix and then select Site Content. It appears you are clicking on Site Manager to get to your site to create new posts.
Jerome

Discontent allows you to build your articles and has more options to use when doing so. When you are finished writing, you can publish your content. Word Press (through the back office) is good for editing your content once it is published. Make sure when you do, that you also make the change in SiteContent in case you ever loose something and have to go back and re-publish something. This can happen if you change themes, for example. I hope this clears things up for you a little.

The "proper" way to manage your content here at Wealthy Affiliate is through SiteContent. This is how your content is monitored for WA statistics, audit/inventory such as the number of words or articles published, what is published and unpublished etc.
It's just a management tool to monitor your writing with a few bells and whistles such as grammar check etc.
David

What if I were to copy all of my articles over? do you think I should do that or would you just use it going forward?

To be honest I had the same experience when I started.
I am not absolutely sure but I don't see anything wrong with copying there, using "ABC" grammar check and saving them.

Just don't publish them again.
You can probably copy the "corrected" articles over to WP editor after the grammar check...if necessary.
Your articles may now be audited by WA and you may get some ranking boost...not sure.

Going forward with the new posts/pages will be the real beginning of monitoring etc



David

It shouldn't be but I use SiteContent to write all my articles. I think of it as two things. My sketch pad where I begin my article ideas. And it has a grammar/spelling checker which is a little more in depth then the Wordpress backoffice.

Yeah, also I'm not getting a picture of my writing stats

That's another aspect about SiteContent that I like. I made myself personal goals with the amount of words that I write, so I know I am adding a lot of content. I don't know if it's theme related, but one time I uploaded my post but wanted to add another sentence I wanted underlined and couldn't see an option for that in Wordpress, but you can in SiteContent.

Okay so I think I'm getting what you are saying...so each time you finish a post in site content, you then upload it into wordpress? Is that what everyone does? I would have thought that both were linked and it would upload to wordpress automatically...

And on another note, I just finished up a post in site content and I can see the difference between the ability to keep track like you are saying and also the ability to spell and grammar check.
