Configuring SmartLink Options

The following examples are meant for people who have already installed SmartLinks on their blog or site. Once installed, you can pick and choose which links you want to become SmartLinks.

Example: Make any link a SmartLink

• All links can be SmartLinks. Simply add the attribute smartLink="yes" into the HTML of your link.
<a href="http://www.oprah.com/presents/2007/eatpraylove/eatpraylove_main.jhtml" smartLink="yes">Oprah's featured book<a>
Oprah's featured book
• This link now has a SmartLink, but since Oprah.com is not a supported site, the SmartLink is of a web page and not a book. See below to learn how to make it a Book SmartLink.

Example: Reference another link in a SmartLink

• To make this a Book SmartLink, set the smartLink attribute to a supported site such as Amazon. Notice that the link itself still takes you to the Oprah site.
<a href="http://www.oprah.com/presents/2007/eatpraylove/eatpraylove_main.jhtml" smartLink="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0143038419/ref=nosim/">Oprah's featured book <a>
Oprah's featured book
• For a complete list of SmartLink supported sites, visit here.

Example: Turn off SmartLinks for individual links

• To remove the SmartLink launcher from a link, just set the smartLink attribute to "no".

Monetize Your SmartLinks

Are you an Amazon, Barnes & Noble, eBay or LinkShare Affiliate? You can earn referral fees to these programs (and more) whenever your readers purchase items visited through your blog! Are you a member of other affilate programs? Email us and we'll help you set them up for your widget.

Skip this if you already configured affiliate options during SmartLink script or widget installation.

Steps

• If you're setting up your SmartLinks widget or script, open the Affiliate Options section and fill in your ID(s).

• The affiliate codes will be added to the script that you install to your blog.
• If you already have a SmartLink widget or script installed and simply want to add your affiliate codes, you can do so by adding the following javascript to the page (pick the appropriate one).
<script type="text/javascript">
     blueAmazonId = "my-amazon-affiliate-code";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     blueEbayId = "my-ebay-affiliate-code";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     blueBNId = "my-barnes-noble-affiliate-code";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     blueLinkShareId = "my-linkShare-affiliate-code";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     blueBooksenseId = "my-booksense-affiliate-code";
</script>
