Clickbank wants you to put a Clickbank Trust Badge on any page with a purchase link. That requires custom code in the section of the site.
How do you do that in Wordpress?<

I used the Site Support, and got an answer that will work.

They referred me to a URL that's inside my wp-admin area. I can't reproduce that URL here; the system prevents it. But no matter!

I found I don't have to go through that URL. In Wordpress, go to Appearance/Editor and find the "header" section on the right. In there you can edit code right into the <head> section of the site.

I haven't figured out how to create a "Child" Theme, so if the theme gets updated I'll lose my work. But I'll risk it for now.

I found this YouTube instruction: Adding a badge to a Wordpress blog page

They use a widget to accomplish what you want.

Good luck

That's a badge image. Not the Clickbank Trust Badge, which is a hunk of javascript (I think) that has to go in the page's head area. I was hopeful, but, no. Thanks anyway.

Its not much help, but I don't know, there used to be a clickbank plugin that took care of that, but whether its still available or not, I don't know

I am using a lot of references on the web to become an "expert" in my niche. Some of these are published medical articles, others are sites like WebMD, and some are other peopl

Several different good questions here. Google will like it if you link to authority references - they consider it the "neighborhood" you think you belong to. Actually have a link to those places, but open in a new window - anything less will be very frustrating to your readers. Only cite authority sites, not just some schmuck's opinion. Hope that helps.

That's what I thought. I appreciate the confirmation. Thanks!

Hey Sam, just saw your question there and thought I'd let you know what I think.

Personally, I'd go with both! As you say, the article format will help with SEO, and if you include images and well-placed headings it should certainly help you rank, but at the same time the tables would probably come in handy for some readers!

Have you ever thought of offering the tables as a download? Maybe in PDF format or something? You could even use them to help you build an email list?

Great suggestions, David. Thank you.
Given that I only have two hands and 24 hours a day, I think I'll start with the "article" style, while I build up a compendium. Then I can launch the tables, many at once, so there's some sense in having tables at all!
I love the idea of making the tables download as a premium, or lead capture incentive. Good stuff, thanks again.
