Hey there!

Today I have a training that was requested by the lovely Danielle. She asked me to make a video on linking a hyperlink to the same or a certain location on a page.

If you want to see what I'm talking about here's the post where I utilize this method in several different ways:

Its a pretty simple process but take a bit of coding. Please watch the video above.

My apologies for the quality because my screen recorder has been messing up. Despite that, I believe I've been able to show you the setup.

And tbh, it feels really good to have a request and making this video. So now that I've wasted enough time off topic, lets get into the deets ;)

What You Need To Know Before Linking To Your Page Position

Before you get started, there are a couple of things you'll need on hand.

1) You need to choose your ID.

This can be anything you want it to be. I like to use underscores to connect my words but you can use camel case or whatever is comfortable or you. I do believe it has to all connect though which means no spaces.

For the purpose of this example, I'm going to use "link_ID_name".

2) HTML Code for Text Link

<a href = "#link_ID_name">Link Text </a>

If you want to link from a different page to the page location, add the link and "#link_ID_name" at the end.

Example: https://example.com/this_page#link_ID_name

3) HTML Code for Link Marker

The marker is the place that the link will direct to. So instead of a page, or only a page, it will go to a page location too.

NOTE: There is no 'Link Text' in the marker

<a href = "link_ID_name"> </a>

Linking To A Certain Page Position

STEP 1:

Now that you have everything ready to go, view the page that you want to place your marker(s). Find the position and write some key words, headings, etc that you can search through later in the HTML code.

I like to position my markers one line under the actual position. Ex. I'll usually put the marker under the heading tag.

Once you have found the locations, go to your text editor and navigate to the 'Text' tab that shows all the HTML.

Now search for the locations you wrote down earlier. Read through the content to make sure you have the right section and place your marker.

Ex.

THIS IS THE HEADING

<a href = "link_ID_name"> </a>

This is the text.

Be sure that you save before continuing

STEP 2:

Now its time to create your links. There's so much ways to use this and its particularly awesome for affiliate marketing because you can skip all the extra text and direct the reader to the location you want them to see like your promotion or an area that convinces them why they need your product.

Ex.

This is your site content content content. And here is my list of xyz to solve your abc.

<a href = "#link_ID_name">1. Your Text </a>

Save before continuing.

Before you leave, always double check to make sure it works. I'm going to be posting a troubleshooting video later with some common errors.

But if its not working, one of the biggest mistakes I find is the hashtag (#) is in the wrong place.

I hope this video tutorial has helped. If you have any questions, comments or other feedback, please leave them in the description box below. If you use this type of linking, share with us how you utilize it too.
