Hello and welcome to another HostDime video tutorial, how to set up a banner advertisement
on your wordpress site.
A friend was kind enough to let us use his wordpress site
(surfwhey). We don't even have any advertisements on here just yet, but our goal
is to put a banner ad right here.
What I am going to do is sign into the
WP admin.
Ok so now we are in the WP admin dashboard which is the backend of any
wordpress site.
The first thing that you are going to do is go to appearance and click on editor.
One thing I like to do is open up a new tab and have my wordpress site open,
so we can test for changes.
Alright, so know we have our wordpress site up and we have our backend up. Your
next step is going to be to go to your header.php
which should be on the right hand side in the sidebar
and click on it.
Alright, you are going to see begin HTML and begin head. Since I want the banner above
the header,
I am going to go ahead and put my HTML above begin head.
I also want it centered, so I am going to put brackets
and the center HTML tags
forward slash center.
Your next step is going to be to go to the HostDime homepage
which is Hostdime.com.
Go ahead and log in to your core,
type in your email and password and click login.
Hover over services and click on affiliate program.
You will see sales reports and impressions.
Go ahead and click "create banners" under sales reports.
Scroll down, and
you will have your choice of four different banners,
so I am going to choose the small one which is 468 pixels wide.
All you have to do is click on it and the HTML will pop up.
Click once
and copy it.
Go back to your header.php file,
click in between the two HTML center tags, and paste.
Ok, now go ahead and update your file,
go over to your blog home page
and click refresh
and there it is. Now you have an affiliate banner on top of your website,
people are going to click on it,
and you are going to make some good money. That concludes our HostDime tutorial,
we'll see you next time.
