| Where to put the banners – Location, location, location |
You will definitely want to put your Affiliate creative somewhere where it will get maximum exposure. The most obvious place would be the top right corner of your home page. However, you might not want your home page to start with a banner to another page. Another place to consider would be the bottom of your home page. You can also choose to show a smaller banner at the end of your site navigation menu to the left or right of your page, we have many sizes, shapes and colors of creatives to choose from. Finally, don't forget about text links located in your content; we have seen a high click through rate on these links and better conversions.

| Text links and banners – An ideal partnership |
Most people on the net are after information, and not adverts. Banners are everywhere these days, and so are often missed. There are things you can do to help click through rates.
Top Tip: Combining banners with text links, integrated into the main areas of your site will really do the business. Often the banner will catch a visitors eye and additional text links will encourage a click. We offer you text links and banners, to help improve your sales. Text recommendations also work. Give it a try.

| Over the top |
| You want to make sales, and you want to keep visitors on your site. Not a problem!
Add the [target=”_blank”] code to your banners so that the link is opened in a new browser window, keeping your site open behind.
Example before:
<a href= http://www.affiliatelink.com/sub/affcode.html ><img src= http://www.affiliatelink.com/images/image.gif border=”0” width=”120” height=”600”></a>
Example after:
<a href= http://www.affiliatelink.com/sub/affcode.html target=”_BLANK” ><img src= http://www.affiliatelink.com/images/image.gif border=”0” width=”120” height=”600”></a>
That's it. If only the rest of life were so easy.
