This is a question we receive
a lot, and unfortunately, it is a little like telling you how
to drive to work, it really depends on where it is and where
you are. Similarly, how to get banner code to appear in your
web page depends on who your hosting service is, and what if
any online tools they provide. If they don't, you will need have
the proper tools, and know how to use them. Editing a page can
be a dangerous thing if you don't know what you are doing, and
if you feel uncertain about doing so.
If you're new to web page development and/or maintenance, we'll
cover two possible general scenarios on how to copy the linkreferal
code so that it appears on your desired web page. We generally
encourage that you ask your specific web site support team about
editing pages, as the tools and procedures can vary between hosting
services.

If you are an affiliate
of a program like www.sixfigureincome.com or www.goingplatinum.com,
it is likely you cannot change the look of the page itself as
it is just their homepage with your referral number. |
