Hi Wendy,

Have you had a look at the following training? When you copy your Amazon affiliate codes from your Associates account, some of the links will be just images. The images are "clickable" and they will include your affiliate link.

If you're after a link, then you'll want to choose a different affiliate code that will display a link on your page.

I can definitely see the image on your Wealthy Affiliate page but as you mentioned it's not linked.

Here's my suggestion...

Do not add affiliate links to your site just yet because you do not have enough content. Google does not want to see affiliate links on your site until you are getting ranked regularly. It's common to want to put affiliate links on your site, but there is no point in doing so until you are getting traffic.

On your "Wealthy Affiliate" page, you should have a WA affiliate link, not an amazon affiliate link.

As for why your image is not linked, You'll have to go back into the affiliate area at Amazon and re-check that you've copied the correct link because it should include an affiliate link back to your site. Also, make sure that you paste the amazon affiliate code within the "TEXT" tab of your website editor.

You're not quite ready for affiliate links until you're getting regular rankings and traffic though. Google will take longer to rank you if they see affiliate links before your site is "trusted".

Hope this helps,

Carson

Mahalo so much I feel relieved someone is listening. Where do I add the way link?

Hi Carson but I would still like the affiliate link for WA to link back to my site so WA knows the person that clicks my link will tell WA to give me the commissions

Thanks you so much Kathy

Here is some training that might help. :)

my website women.siterubix.com - I am trying to add the amazon link into my website. I can capture the amazon link but where do i put it on my site?

Hi Sky high, I got as far as the "text" box but when I click on it it does not give me the option to add into a new text box?

Btw I am creating a link to link to my way account so homely clients will click and be brought to my site

Actually I missed a step. After you click on text, a box should open. Down at the bottom of that box, you will be allowed to open a new text. Place your code there.

Hi James I decided to start all over from the beginning. I think I have missed or forgotten a lot of info. I originally read it in Oct. I hope I can ask you for help or the community. Much Mahalo for all your help.

You can ask me questions. I have no problem with that. But I know that it would be best to post your questions to the entire community. Because you may ask me something that I may not know, but someone else in the community might know the answer. There is a lot here that I am still learning. But please feel free to ask.

Go to your WordPress account and go down to Appearance on the right side. When you put your cursor over appearance it should give the option to click on widgets. Click widgets and scroll down to the box that says text. Click on the box and it should allow you to put your code there.

Hope that helps.

James

Mahalo.Sky high you gave me step by step instructions. I really like that since I am not computer literate. I hope I can call you in the future. Friends Wen

Feel free to IM me anytime.

James, everything works perfectly except when I touch the text button no box appears underneath. Am I failing to do a step?

Hi Wen. I'm sorry I couldn't respond earlier. I'm not sure what our time zone difference is. But, the sequence should be this: Go into the editor's section of your WordPress acct. Then Appearance - widget - text box - add widget - insert code into text box - save. This should be the sequence. I think I've covered every necessary step.
Hope this helps

Mahalo James. I can't get into my computer yet but as soon as I can I'll give your suggestion a try. Thanks again for being so patient with me. Wendy

I need links to my account. Its the last time to website?

I embedded my WA affiliate link but it's not linked to my website. Help

Are you talking about affiliate links that link from your account? Then you can get your WA links by clicking on WA Affiliate Program and use the link tool to put them on your pages and posts. You can get links from Amazon and CJ.com and ClickBank.com, etc. To links back to your site, use the social functions on WordPress. I use the plugin called Sociable. When you post to Twitter and Facebook and such, the link will point back to your site. John

A lot of great a t info TJ. Thanks you so much. Wen
