How to Build Your Own Links



Build your own links to any page on the Llewellyn website by following these steps after you log in to your Google Affiliate Network account.

To create one link at a time with the Build Your Own Link (BYOL) feature:

  1. In your Google Affiliate Network account, click the Links tab, then click By Advertiser.
  2. Locate the appropriate advertiser. In the 'Action' drop-down menu, click Build Your Own Link, then click Go.
  3. Specify the appropriate link details in the fields, then click Build Link.

You can use Llewellyn book covers to create banners for these links by downloading the image for the cover or by referencing URL for the image source on our website.

We have several image sizes available. Use the links below to reference the appropriate image size by placing the product’s EAN number at the end of the URL.

60 px wide: http://www.llewellyn.com/_theme/product_images/60/[EAN].jpg

80 px wide: http://www.llewellyn.com/_theme/product_images/80/[EAN].jpg

100 px wide: http://www.llewellyn.com/_theme/product_images/100/[EAN].jpg

200 px wide: http://www.llewellyn.com/_theme/product_images/200/[EAN].jpg

All URLs to the landing pages for Llewellyn products use the following structure:

http://www.llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=[EAN]

Note: EAN numbers can be found on the product detail page. Click here to see how to find this information.

Want to save time? Use the Upload Your Links feature to create up to 2000 links.

To create links in bulk with the Upload Your Links feature:

  1. In your Google Affiliate Network account, click the Links tab, then click By Advertiser.
  2. Locate the appropriate advertiser. In the 'Action' drop-down menu, select Upload Your Own Links, then click Go.
  3. In the 'Upload Action' drop-down menu, select Create BYOL.
  4. Enter a confirmation email if needed.
  5. Create and save a properly-formatted bulk upload file (MSExcel spreadsheet) on your computer.*
  6. Click Browse to locate your file.
  7. Click Upload.

* Formatting tips:

  • If you need help with file formatting, click here to view a sample of a bulk upload file created using Llewellyn product information.
  • If you're creating links, leave the LID (link id) blank.
  • If you're deleting or updating BYOLs, you must provide the LIDs, which you can view or download on the 'Available Link Templates' page in your account.
  • You can update a maximum of 2000 links in your file.

Confirmation email and files:

  • After you complete the upload process, Google Affiliate Network will email you a file with the link ID and Link HTML fields populated.
  • If your upload processed correctly, you'll receive a file named Success. In the file, the 'Reserved' field is blank, and the 'Return message' field will display the word Success.
  • If some links weren't processed, you'll receive a 'Success' file and a second file named Failure. In the file, the 'Return message' field will display error messages.
  • If no links were processed, you'll receive a 'Failure' file.
