How to Place Advertising Code Into a Blog in HTML

1. Open the web page of the URL (website address) to which you will link your HTML code. Double-check the page to make sure the URL desired is the exact one being placed into the banner code.

2. Choose the image to be used. The image source URL is determined by right-clicking on the desired image, and selecting 'copy image location.' A variety of web resources offer to host images at no cost for those who use their own images. Other images can be found free, to lease/use, or purchase. The image used must be one that falls within the user's rights. Using intellectual property that belongs to another is at best unethical, and at worst illegal.

A banner ad can draw attention on a blog.

Insert the target destination site (yourdestinationurl.com) and image source URL (yourimagesourceurl.com) in place of the generic examples in this code:Copy that code with the cursor, and paste within the text editor of the blog program. Upon publishing the individual post, all the code is saved as is, and viewers see the designated image as a link within the content. When viewers click on this image, they are taken to the designated URL.

Increased banner links equals more web traffic.

Preview the resulting page, if possible. If this isn't possible, test the banner code on a personal web page, such as a social networking site, before posting it permanently on the page for which it is aimed. The image within the banner likely will not show up while the text editor is open, even in rich-text mode.
