If you are using clickbank to promote products, when you signed up with clickbank you got a username which is also your clickbank nickname.

When you go through the marketplace at clickbank and choose a product, under the product title are 2 links, you click on the one that states, get hoplink, and input your clickbank id, this will product the url you need to promote in order to receive credit for any sales made.

where I’m having trouble is on my own website. I am not sure how (or where) to add my clickbank nickname to a product I want to sponsor.

There are a few different ways to go about adding your clickbank url.

If you have access to your html side of your webpage, then you need to add the following code -

< a href="http://yourclickbankurl.com">Name of your product< /a>

This code will make the words – Name of your product – clickable by all visitors.

How can inexperienced folks get online without all of the headaches? Here are a few pointers that might come in handy. If you keep these three recommendations in mind, you don’t need to struggle to create a fully functional website, even if you don’t know the difference between HTML and URLs.

First, start simple. The nice thing about a website is that you can always rearrange it, repair it and expand upon it. Nothing is carved in stone. So it makes sense to start your web designing with a simple structure. There’s no need to worry about all of the bells and whistles right off the bat.

Second, use good tools. If there’s one thing that makes creating a website easier today than it ever has been before it’s the presence of great tools, many of which are free. These can make building and managing a website incredibly simple. The difficulties that used to plague novices are now avoidable thanks to these resources.

Third, ask questions. One of the best things about the Internet is the fact that there are so many helpful people out there who are willing to lend a hand and to supply good advice. Anyone who feels stuck while putting a site together can go to any one of many sites and forums to look for support and good recommendations.

Simplicity, tools and asking questions. Those three steps are all it really takes to make web designing easy for almost everyone.

There are many dos and don’ts you should follow when deciding on your website layout -

1. Headers – this is the top part of your website. Do Not make this huge and wild looking. Keep the height of this no more than around 100 pixels. This can be a graphic you have designed for you, or just a colored background with words on it.

2. Your Headline – use the h1 tags of html to write your headline, if you don’t know what this is, then ask your designer or learn it. Search engines look for h1 or h2 tags to tell them about the website. Your text should be easy to read, don’t make it fancy looking, keep the color usually to a red, this usually makes peoples’ eyes attract to it.

3. The body of your website – too many times a lot of website designers makes this way too colorful, and this makes it difficult to read. Most people want to know exactly right now what is in it for me, not all the fancy stuff. Keep your text family to one type, do not change this around. The norm for this is Times New Roman or Arial. You do not have to stick to these families but the important rule here is to use the same family for your entire website.

4. Images – please do not plaster your website with graphics! This is so annoying and distracting. An important rule to remember when using images on any website, is the size of the image, if your image is large it will take the site a long time to load and people won’t stick around to wait. Make sure that your images are clear and relative your website theme. Another important fact that most do not use, is the alt tag, this tag is inserted so if your visitor doesn’t have the ability to see images the words will display, also, search engines do not see images, so by using the alt tag within your image will tell the search engines what is there.

5. Buy Buttons – too many times I’ve gone to a website, read through it, liked what I saw and read; now I want to know the price? Scroll to the bottom to find the buy button only to see no price at all! Make sure that your price is clearly seen, the best place to put your price is directly above or below the buy button. Make it clear exactly what the price, no hidden costs! The fastest way to lose a sale is by not telling the purchaser how much they are going to pay.

6. Closing – make sure that your name is clearly at the bottom, people want to know who they are dealing with. Having a professional taken picture of yourself is the best, but if you either do not want to do this or don’t have one, then make sure your name is clearly there. And a way for them to contact you if they have questions. Do Not put your actual email address on your websites!! You can put the words Contact Me and have them linked to an email address. Do not ever put your actual email address on your websites. There are spiders out there that look for this format and will spam you!

7. PS – Always, Always, have a ps or two. Recap what they are getting and restate your price and guarantee. It has been shown that by having a ps increase sales, so use it!

By sticking with these steps you will get a better looking website that will convert much better. It really doesn’t matter what market you are in or what you are selling, by having the a good website layout will make all the difference.
