How do I get links for an advertiser's program?

The most basic way to get affiliate link code for a particular advertiser partner’s program is in your publisher dashboard:

  1. Find the advertiser using the advertiser search box or by selecting Programs My Advertisers.
  2. Click on the advertiser’s name to view the advertiser’s detail page.
  3. Click the Links tab at left.
  4. Click on # of Available Links for the link type you want to use (e.g., text/email, individual products, banners/images), as shown in the example below.
  5. On the next page, find and tick the specific creative (link or links) you want. You can select multiple links using the check box to the left of each link, or select all links of that type by clicking the upper left check box next to Link. 
  6. Copy the link code for each link to the clipboard. You have several options to get the link code: a) Click Get Link for a single link, b) select Send All via Email to send the link code via email, or c) Export All to .csv to save the link code to an Excel file. Link code is shown in yellow highlight, below:

Notice at the bottom of the screenshot, you have several options for your link code including text link, email and open link in a new window. Learn more about link code options.

Alternatively, you can save time by selecting the link type in the popup menu when rolling the mouse over the advertiser name in the main Links page.

Available link types include: text/email, banners/images, dynamic rich media, search box, and product links. Note that not all link types will be available for all advertisers. For more information on the various link types, see An Overview of Link Types.

An advertiser may further group each type of link into promotional categories such as coupons, free shipping, hot products, best converting, logo, general promotion, seasonal, or other categories specific to their products. You can find the categories for each link type by clicking the Categories drop-down menu to the right of the link type.

Copy and paste the link code on your website pageusing Notepad or a similar plain text/HTML editor. Make sure that the code on your website appears exactly as it does in your Rakuten Affiliate account.

      When I post the link on my website, it is not being recognized as a correct URL. I get an error that says this site can't be reached.

    Topic: Thank God for Calvary Text: Revelation 1:11-18 The greatest battle ever fought since the creation of man was fought at Calvary. It was a battle between the forces of darkness and Light. It seemed as if darkness won, but 3 days later, Light shone. What We Should Thank God For: 1. For the Blood He shed on Calvary. Through this Blood, our sins have been washed away. 1 John 1:7 The Blood is still giving us victory over satan. Revelation 12:10-11 The Blood also gives us access to God. Hebrews 10:19-22 Everyone of us now have access to the Holiest by virtue of the Blood. 2. The Healing Stripes of Jesus. 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:1-5 Jesus took a stripe for diseases yet undiscovered in addition to the 39 He took for categories of diseases already existing. 3. The Name of Jesus. Philippians 2:5-11, John 14:14 The Name has given us access to God's provision and deliverance. John 16:24 4. Victory over death.  Since Calvary, death has lost its sting. 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, Hebrews 2:14-
