Amazon affiliate banner ads

Shinrya

Hey guys,

I've just just signed up for Amazon's affiliate program and I'm having trouble getting the banner ads to display on my SM site.

Before when I was using B&H, I just copyed the text into an HTML box to display banner ads. With the code that Amazon give it's just a blank space.

Any ideas if I maybe need to modify the code to get it to display?

Can you attach the code here as a text file? I think if we can see the structure of the ad maybe someone can make a suggestion.

I found out the culprit....naturally it was Smugmug.

Turns out you can't embed tagged code into HTML blocks. Smugmug simply strips it outs. Slightly annoying as I was hoping to place an Amazon banner add at the bottom of my homescreen.

The html content block only supports basic html, like links, images, text formatting and fonts. Embeds, iframes, javascript etc. are not supported.

What you could do, is to add a static image with an tag and then to surround that with an tag to link to specific link to Amazon or any another site.

Thanks for the suggestion
I'll look into that, that's actually a pretty good idea.
