AFFLOVE On The Internet

WordPress.org’s software is extremely customizable, but there isn’t an in depth user manual to let you in to all the little tips and tricks available to you. 

While there are a number of plugins available to streamline and customize your advertising possibilities, there are a few things that you can do for yourself.  No downloads needed.

Step 1: In your WordPress dashboard, open “presentation”.  There’s a toolbar that opens up saying “themes”, “widgets”, and “theme editor”.  Open “widgets”.

Step 2: You’re in a screen that says “Sidebar Arrangement”. If you don’t see a box within the sidebar template marked “text” or “text 1″, look below where you’ll see several little boxes that say things like “Meta” and “Pages”.  Find the one marked “text” and left click on it.  Keep the left mouse button down and drag the box into the sidebar.  You can drag and drop any number of items wherever you want them within the sidebar.

Step 3: To the right of the word “text” you’ll see a small box with a blue line at the top and 3 smaller black lines.  Click on this to open the editor.  If you hover your mouse over the box it should say “configure”.  If the editing box doesn’t open, try holding down the “Ctrl” button on your keyboard while clicking the configure box.

Step 4: Paste the HTML code directly into the box.  You can type title such as “Afflove Recommends”, or leave the title area blank.  Click the X at the top, right corner of the editing box when you’re done.  To the right you’ll see a button that says “Save Changes”.  Click it. 

Step 5: View your page.  Do you like where you placed the ad?  Did the code turn out correctly?  If not, go back and continue editing until your page looks just the way you want it.

 This method of inserting ads works with just about any HTML coded ad that’s available.  I’ve used it successfully with Adsense, Amazon, and several other affiliate companies.  Of course, you’ll need to sign up for an account with each of these in order to get the ad code and get paid.
