Re-Direct text link example

Hello all,

A quick heads up as to how easy it is to create your own links for the Ancestry.co.uk affiliate programme.

Use the code below - together with your correct PID value - and you can create links to any of the pages under the Myfamily.com umbrella... Here's the code -

REDIRECTING TEXT LINK

So, for example if I wanted to create a link to the trees section of Ancestry.co.uk and my PID number was 1111111 the link would look like -

Enter whatever text you need here!

Thanks

New Interactive Search Banner

Hi All,

The Ancestry.co.uk affiliate programme now has more advanced interactive name search banners. The most important additions are the detailed Civil Reg and Parish & Probate search banners that allow you to search by years, counties etc.

I'll also be adding in specific Census search banners to take advantage of the large UK interest in censuses.

A great addition to look for is under the content links section. Take a look at the Census table that's been added. A great fit for any website.

Do you have a valid email database collected through your site? Then look further into the content link section and you'll find an email ready and waiting to be sent.

Do keep checking back and remember that if you need any creative at all just let me know.

Thanks

Paul.
