I have asked this question at support but they can't answer it.

I want to add text links to the various categories - Books, Baby, Clothing etc etc. I could add banner links but I don't want my site flooded with banners which are anyway sourced externally. Anyone displaying the various wizards will know what I mean - it delays the page loading considerably.

I tried

1. adapting the banner links by exchanging the <iframe ... src="xxxx&banner=yyyy ...." > with <a href="xxxx.>Text</a>
2. adding the &category=baby to the default link

The first one clearly expects some JS and the second juts sends me to the home page.

Can anyone help?

Thanks starman.

Now I have text links to some 31 categories and no flashing jumping images fed from Amazon to slow my site down.

This means that my search engine can find them as well....:)

Funny that tech support couldn't point me to it!

Starman, do you know if there's a way of going one section deeper and still keeping your affiliate link into the product?

Say you wanted to link to all formats of "Lego Star Wars" game rather than just the PS3, or Wii version, how would this work?

Sorry for barging in mid way through helping someone else but you seem to know what you're doing!

Thanks for your help.
