The above code is what you would enter into the promo page in the &#8220;Visual&#8221; tab, because you want the affiliate to see the actual raw HTML code that she can copy\/paste and publish on their web site.<\/p>\n<p>So when the affiliate views your promo page, they would not see an actual image that is linked to their affiliate link, but the raw HTML &#8211; just like what you see below &#8211; which they can copy and publish on their web site.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&lt;a href=&#8221;http:\/\/YourSite.com\/dap\/a\/?a=1234<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>&#8220;&gt;<\/strong>&lt;img src=&#8221;\/path\/to\/banner\/image.jpg&#8221;&gt;<strong>&lt;\/a&gt;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Obviously, you don&#8217;t want them to directly link to the image on your site. So you just tell them that they need to download the image\/banner and upload to their web site.<\/p>\n<p>The same can be done for email copy too.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s how simple it is.<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\"><strong>%%AFF_LINK%%<\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAP lets you create a &#8220;Affiliate Promo Materials&#8221; page that has ready-made, ready-to-copy-paste banner images, HTML code, and email copy, that includes the affiliate link of the affiliate viewing the page, already readily embedded and customized just for her.
