Viewing Amazon affiliate link

Amazon affiliate link



User: Anita W. 4 years ago
I am trying to add an Amazon affiliate HTML snippet, but nothing shows up in Everweb (not even the frame--it's completely invisible), but nothing shows up at all in Safari, or just a gray box with a frowny face in Chrome. I am using the HTML snippet widget. Am I doing something wrong, or can I just not be an Amazon affiliate with Everweb?

Hi Anita,

It should work fine.

Can you show me what you are entering in the HTML Snippet Widget?

This is the html that Amazon created through "SiteStripe".

<iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anitawoodsmid-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B07CLKM5L8&asins=B07CLKM5L8&linkId=e27e57318c6564dc755c5e76957f9a9e&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

To get it to show in EverWeb or locally you need to add https: to the file path like this ...

<iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="https://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anitawoodsmid-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B07CLKM5L8&asins=B07CLKM5L8&linkId=e27e57318c6564dc755c5e76957f9a9e&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

Hey that worked, thank you! It previews fine in Safari, but I can't see it on the layout, so have to preview every time I add another link, adjust spacing, etc. Is there a way to get a frame or something to show in Everweb?

If it won't show when viewed on the EverWeb design canvas, add a background color to the iframe styles so that you know where it is.

<iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;background:black" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="https://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anitawoodsmid-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B07CLKM5L8&asins=B07CLKM5L8&linkId=e27e57318c6564dc755c5e76957f9a9e&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

In the first line you will see I added "background:black" - without the quotes. This will allow it to show on a white page. If the page is black, set the background color to white.

You can either delete it before publishing, change the background color to "transparent" or just leave it. If left, it will show momentarialy in the browser before the add appears.

Thank you very much, I actually ended up changing frameborder="0" to 1, and that gave it enough of a border for me to know where it was in Everweb, but doesn't change the finished link much. Thanks for your quick and generous help!
