How to make a button


To make a affiliate button, you need a image thats 88x31 pixels. (88 wide 31 tall). You could use Paint or other image editing programs like photoshop. Ideally, you should add a border to the button so it doesn't merge with the background of your or other peoples sites. i myself use black for borders.

your site name should be visible in it! It's very important to have the site name be somewhat readable so people know theyre going to your site. For example, don't put a white text on yellow backgrounds!

Your images ideally should relate to your site. if your site is about anime, you should not put a character in it that doesn't relate to anime at all!!! same goes for pokemon sites, use a pokemon in your button! people will click on something with their interests on it faster than something that is just a picture or just text!

Once you have your image, you should put it on a page where people can see it. (like this one!) then you need to make a link for it. You can use the code below, just change the URL and the ALT text to your site name.

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com"><img src="http://www.imagesite.com/buttonimage.png" alt="Your Site Name" border="0"></a> if you have it hosted on another site.

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com"><img src="buttonimage.png" alt="Your Site Name" border="0"></a> if you have it in your sites root.

You should put your button on your site so people can see it! do tell people to upload it to their own sites to save bandwith.
