One of the options for your site is to ad links to other websites you may have or links within your website.  This is used for many reasons but the most important is for your website SEO. By adding links to other pages of your site you are creating what is called internal linking, or if you add links to your other websites this is called back-links and both will help with search engine ranking.

Now just because backlinks are important you do not want to load your pages with to many links going out of your site, that is why there are only limited number of links you can enter. Remember this is an affiliate website and you already have many links from amazon and ebay items. If you put to many links on your page it will hurt your page ranking.

There are two section where you can enter other website links or internal. This is pretty straight forward but we have entered some examples for you. In both sections you have the title or description of the links. Don’t enter the site domain in this sections, enter some keyword string. For example if you have another website about iphones than enter something like “Get new unlocked iPhones at discount” This will help improve your iphone sites search ranking that search string or keyword.

That’s the basic, short version of how this links can help your site(s).

Currently you are able to enter some unique content on the site that will help with your website SEO.
Try to write a general article or review about your site but keep it to about 350 to 400 words. This unique text with show up on every page of your website. You can include some simple HTML but it is recommended to just use plain text.
If the text you entered does not show up it is probably because you have entered some characters that are not allowed, Check your text, remove any special characters you may have and try again.

On this page you can set your unique keywords that will be converted into your website menu, links and will be used to get item results from amazon and ebay.
For any changes on this page there is a 2 step process. First enter your just keywords in the “Top Menu Keywords” and/or “Side Menu Keywords” section then click on the “Save Settings” button, your keywords will now show-up on the title and description columns. Write a title and description for each new keyword line then click “Save Settings” button again.
The most important thing about this page is you need to make sure you enter a Title and Description for each keyword as this will help your website in the search rankings. You will notice that title and description for each keyword is the same as the keyword, you can leave as is but we recommend you enter your own unique title and description for each. Whether you are planing on optimizing the site for organic search or paid advertising, this plays a big role on your websites SEO (search engine optimization).
The title and description should be around 250 to 300 characters max, and the keyword should be included in the text.

As you try to navigate through the website configurator you may not understand what all the settings are or do, that’s not a problem as you do not need to go through every single setting but you do need to understand the main page. Website Configurator main page is where you enter the most important information such as you site address, contact information and most importantly your affiliate information. Let’s look at all the fields.

Site Setup:
The first thing you need to do here once you are loged in is enter your Site URL. There is already a default url that you need to change. So if your domain is “mydomain.com” then you need to enter “http://www.mydomain.com/” notice the trailing slash “/” at the end? If you do not enter that your site will not function properly.
Domain Name: Pretty self explanatory you need just the domain name “mydomain.com”. This will be used through out the site such as the footer, contact us page, tos page etc.

Contact Email: This will be used for the order form but it will not be visible so that it does not get spamed.

Site Title: This is going to be your default site title. You should come up with your own site title so it will be unique from other sites.

Enter Affiliate information:
This is where you enter all your affiliate and ad network information. If any fields are left empty, your site will not display results for that affiliate program or ad network. So if you do not want to display Adsense ads then leave “Adsense Pub ID” section empty.
When entering your affiliate info it is best to use copy and paste as you need to enter them exactly as they appear on the affiliates website or ad network. These are case sensitive and will not work if you just enter one of the characters wrong. If you don’t know where to get that information there are more detail instruction for each affiliate and ad network here, just search the site.
The site content is primarily from Amazon so you need at least enter your Amazon affiliate information.

What Ads to Display Where:
On this section you can select what ads to display where in the pages of your website. Although you need to keep in mind, Some programs do not allow other ads in the same page, such as Adsense. You can safely use Adsense and Chitika together but you must first check TOS for each program. This is very important as you can get banned from the ad networks.
You do not want to put to may ads all over the page as this also can get you banned. Example, Adsense only allowed 3 ad units on the page that is why we have only 3 sections where the ads will be displayed.

Side: This is the sidebar section of the page. The ads will be displayed under the “Related Sponsors” section.

Top: This is the header section of the page.

Middle: This is the content section of the page. It is the same section where your unique content shows up.

That’s it for the Site Configurator main page setup. If you have entered the required information your site will start to display product results and ads.

The advanced options help to further customize your sites appearance and uniqueness. Please feel free to add upon this tutorial if you think some things need a better explanation.

Most of the options are self explanatory but there are some options that need further explanation. We will explain in more detail of what these options are and what they do. Let’s start at the top, Website Advanced Setup;
Site Cache: This setting with help your site load faster by caching some content. Recommended setting is 5min. If you are making other changes on the site configurator you should change this to no cache then after you are done with other settings change it back.
External Links: Pretty self explanatory. As part of making this site SEO friendly the script is highly customized and a lot of hard work has gone into making it XHTML valid. If you leave this setting to open the links on the same page you site will validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict, if you select open links in a new page your site will validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
