This lets you link to almost any page on our website, and can be accessed through your Awin dashboard once you\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/ui.awin.com\/merchant-profile\/12048\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">signed up<\/a> to the programme.<\/p>\n<h3>Step-by-step: how to add links and start earning straight away<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>From your Awin dashboard go to &#8216;Links and Tools&#8217; and then click on &#8216;Link Builder&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Enter the URL of the page on the Top Villas website that you\u2019d like to link to<\/li>\n<li>Add the anchor text that you\u2019d like your link to use (this is the text that your visitors see and click)<\/li>\n<li>Your unique affiliate link will appear in the box below<\/li>\n<li>Add this code to\u00a0your post and publish<\/li>\n<li>Send traffic to the post and track commission through your affiliate dashboard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Make your links relevant<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on your content you\u2019ll need to make sure your links are relevant. You can link to a destination, a resort, a specific villa and even certain date ranges (handy if you\u2019re promoting accommodation for an event). You can also add some of our ready-made banners\u00a0to your site to raise awareness of our offers and increase the chances of your content converting into bookings.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to include a special offer (which is a great way to generate bookings), making sure you link to the right page\u00a0is key. If you&#8217;re not sure that a specific property will resonate with every single reader, consider linking to a page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/orlando\/vacations\">like this one<\/a>, which shows multiple vacation options and invites visitors to quickly browse through lots of different options.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t worry if bookings aren&#8217;t instant<\/h3>\n<p>When a reader follows an affiliate link from your site to ours, they will pick up a cookie that identifies you as the source of the referral.<\/p>\n<p>This 30-day cookie gives you the opportunity to generate conversions for an extended period of time and get credit for bookings that you helped to create, even if a user decides not to book right away. Often, our villas are booked by large groups and it can take time for them to decide on dates and make the booking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once you&#8217;ve created unique,\u00a0engaging content, one of the most important parts of a successful campaign is using highly targeted affiliate links.
