Hi there
A good read about affiliate links may be found here.

To create links that look like real links, you might want to follow the instructions here.

It looks like you want to create an online store. Instead of giving a long-winded explanation, i recommend you read this

best,
dave.

hi
I just did a test page, following the add links instructions and it worked just fine – i had a link to the sd card.
Are you trying to insert the image, and use that as the link?

Hello again
I dug the test page out of the drafts and added your link to the earbuds on Amazon, first as a link, second as pasting the link into the html editor, then simply getting the image from Amazon as a URL, then making the image itself a link following the directions in the link i sent.

The result is here:
https://dave2swords.wordpress.com/test/

I too was unable to make the image a link as per the instructions. When selecting the image and trying to enter the URL it would not allow me to make the URL other than that of the image!

I have added the modlook tag to this thread to see if the WordPress folks know of any issues associated with making an image into a link, or if we both simply are not reading the directions correctly!

Please be patient, they are very busy people!

This earlier post by Staff may help to clarify about Amazon affiliate banners: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/amazon-banner-issues?replies=5#post-2888759

Let us know if you have any other question about this.

Ah!
However when i attempted to make the last image a url, the url was to this thread, perchance the Amazon URL was too long. Still did not work. The only url that seemed to be acceptable was of the image itself.

Should have mentioned that, sorry!

Hi –

Amazon embeds typically do not work because they use Javascript, which is not supported on WordPress.com.

To confirm, can you share the original code you have from Amazon? Does it have a <script> tag in it? More details on the code we support can be found in this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

Please remember that the affiliate links are allowed IF the site is creating original content. These links can be used within an original post, but you can’t just post affiliate links to the site.
