How to Insert an Affiliate Link in WordPress

November 29, 2010 by Shawn Collins

Q: How do I add a tracking code url for special sales or coupons for my affliates on my blog site? I am using WordPress.

Shawn CollinsA: The process for creating an affiliate link in WordPress is the same as creating any link for a blog post.

You can get a text link from the affiliate program you wish to promote.

Then you highlight the word or phase in your blog post you want to use with the link, and click “link” in WordPress.

This enables you to paste the affiliate link into the WordPress link tool.

If you wanted to include code from the affiliate program that includes and affiliate link and a product image or banner, you can past the entire snippet of code into WordPress.
