How do I add my custom affiliate link to text or a graphic?

In addition to our banners with ready-made links, it is also possible to add an affiliate link to your own text or images. You can copy links from our partner program platform and add them to your site in a similar way to adding our affiliate banners.

Adding the custom General link

If you’d simply like to share a link to our main site, for example in an email, you can just copy the “General Link” provided on the Partner Program home page. It can be found on the very top of the page. Simply copy and paste into an email and when a recipient clicks on the link the tracking code will be triggered.

1. On the Partner Program home page, copy the General Link at the top of the page.

2. Paste the link into the main body of your email message.

Adding links to your own text

If you’d like to add a link to some text on your site, follow the same steps as above, but this time you’ll need to select the text on your website that you’d like users to click on, and then add the link.

For example, if you have a line that says “we highly recommend the Open Arms and Level Head Course to all of our puppy owners”, you might like to add a link to the words “Open Arms and Level Head Course” you would follow these steps:

1. Selecting the text within the webpage builder.

2. Paste the copied affiliate link as a destination URL for that selected copy.

How you add the link may vary depending on your webpage builder provider. Here are some how-to articles for some popular website platforms:

Adding links to your own images

Similar to adding text links, you can also add affiliate links to your own images.

1. Simply select the image within the webpage builder.

2. Paste the copied affiliate link as a destination URL for that selected image.

Again, how you do this, may depend on your web hosting provider. Here are some how-to articles for some popular website platforms.

Adding links to your own images through HTML editor

You can also manually add a link to an image through an HTML editor. You would use the following code:

<a href="insert custom affiliate link"><img src="insert image location" title="insert title" alt="insert image description"></a>

You would replace the text that reads “insert custom affiliate link” with your custom affiliate link.

Then you would replace the “insert image link” with the link to the image you would like to use.

Next you would give the image a title in the “insert title” section, and a image description (for screen readers) in the “insert image description” section.
