Help Add Links to Blogger.com Blog Posts
Adding affiliate product links to blog posts easily
When adding ad links, affiliate links, product links, banner links, or any hyperlinks on blogger.com it is very similar to adding affiliate product links to wordpress blog. The only difference is that wordpress.com and wordpress.org blogs have a little more options you can use to customize your links a little more and also make your links a little more search engine friendlier than blogger blog. You can still make your product links, affiliate links, or any other links search engine friendly on blogger. Blogger just requires an extra step of editing the HTML code of your blog post. So just read the following blogger tips on how to add links to your blog.
Remember anytime you are adding links on your blogger blog or any other blog or website, you want the websites or blogs you are linking to relevant to your blog post's content. You can link to other websites or blogs that are not relevant, but if you get too many of these you will start loosing your ranking in the search results for keywords and terms relevant to your content. So again, link to relevant websites, products, blogs, affiliates, etc. If you have a post about repairing computers, make sure all links leaving this blogger post are going to products or other websites related to repairing computers. If I have a website on computers, and every link on my website is going to computer parts websites, computer game websites, etc., then I will get moved up slightly in the search results. Now if I have this same website on computers, but all my links link to websites about photography, then I will start loosing rank for computer terms and get slightly higher for photography, even though my website has nothing to do with photography or photographers.
Now let's go over those steps to adding images to your blogger blog post.
- Login to your blogger account.
- Open the blog post you want to add links to.
- Highlight the image or the text you want to make clickable (into a hyperlink).
- Click on the link button, which looks like a green globe with a chain link on the top left of the globe.
- A pop-up window will open saying "Enter a URL:" and will have http:// highlighted in this box, type in the website address (URL) you want your viewers to go to when they click on this image or text link. You may also copy and paste the website address in this box.
- Now if this was text you made into a hyperlink (clickable) it will not show as blue and underlined. Now for a couple hyperlink options that blogger does not allow you to set using their user interface or WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor.
- Click on Edit HTML on the top right of the blogger post box. This will now take you into the HTML editor.
- You will see a code in this format:
<a href="http://website-you-want-them-to-go-to.com">text link that is clickable</a>
so we need to add an HTML attribute to this code to make it slightly more search engine friendly. We want to addtitle="some keyword phrase"to this HTML code to give this hyperlink a title. So now your code will look like:<a href="http://website-you-want-them-to-go-to.com" title="some keyword phrase">text link that is clickable</a> - If you want to make this hyperlink open in it's own web browser window instead of in the same one your blog is open in, so yours doesn't get removed, you can also add the
target="_blank"HTML attribute which tells the link to open in a new window. So now you HTML code will look like:
<a href="http://website-you-want-them-to-go-to.com" title="some keyword phrase" target="_blank">text link that is clickable</a> - Now you can save or publish your blog post. Example: If you are wanting to link to my website and have it open in a new window your HTML code will look something like this:
<a href="http://247-coach.com" title="affiliate business help" target="_blank">affiliate business help</a>which will create this:
