Once you've received your Affiliate ID Name, you can immediately start creating links on your website to BookSense.com. You have the option of creating a link to a specific title and its product page on the BookSense.com site, or you can build a general link to the BookSense.com home page. The choice is entirely up to you -- you decide which option will work best with your website.

Link placement
You have several options in placing your links:

• From the BookSense.com logo on your Web page.
• From the jacket image(s) featured on your website.
• Or from your choice of text, such as "Shop Local," "Buy This Book," etc.

If the links you create are not from the BookSense.com logo, we still require that you place the BookSense.com logo on the same page as the link.

New! Two ways to link!
BookSense.com is all about shopping local, so we ask each visitor to tell us their Zip code so each sale is handled by the store closest to the buyer. Our Standard Linking method takes your visitor from the featured book jacket (or the BookSense.com logo) to a quick stop on our site to input the Zip code. Then the user is taken automatically to the information page for the book. If you wish to send your visitors directly to a featured book product-information page, thus bypassing our Zip code interstitial page, check out our new Speed Linking Option!

Standard Linking to the Product Page
Please use the following HTML tag to link to a specific title's product page, inserting the title's 10-digit ISBN in place of the words "actual_isbn."

http://www.booksense.com/product/info.jsp?affiliateId=your_assigned_affiliateID&isbn=actual_isbn

For example:

http://www.booksense.com/product/info.jsp?affiliateId=indivisible&isbn=0393050289

Remember, you'll need to replace the words "actual_isbn" with the ISBN of the featured book and "your_assigned_affiliateID" with the unique ID we email to you.

Standard Linking to the BookSense.com Home Page
Please use the following HTML tag to link to the BookSense.com home page:

http://www.booksense.com/index.jsp?affiliateId=your_assigned_affiliateID

Again, you'll need to replace the words "your_assigned_affiliateID" with the unique ID we email to you.

Speed Linking Option
We have created a form that collects your visitor's Zip code from your site and passes it to us along with the Affiliate ID. The form can be copied onto an HTML page, virtually as provided below, including the beginning and ending comment. You will need to change only the words "actual ISBN" and "actual Affiliate ID" to those actual values. PLEASE NOTE that when using the Speed Linking Option, the book jacket cover should not be linked as it is in Standard Linking, but should remain static. The code is in the form itself. Speed Linking is available only for linking to a title information page, not for linking to the BookSense.com home page. Advanced HTML users may alter the layout of this form to create a different look for the page, but the accompanying copy should remain as provided.

Here's the code: (Remember, you will need to change the words "actual ISBN" and "actual Affiliate ID" to those actual values.)

<!-- Start BookSense.com link Code-->
<form method="get" action="http://www.booksense.com/product/info.jsp">
    <input type="hidden" name="isbn" value="(((actual ISBN)))">
    <input type="hidden" name="affiliateID" value="(((your actual Affiliate ID)))">
    If you wish to direct this purchase to your closest independent bookstore 
    with Book Sense, enter your Zip code below before pressing the button. (If 
    you do not enter your Zip, a Book Sense store will be chosen for you at random.)<br>
    <input type="text" name="assignStoreNear"><br>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Buy This Book!">
</form>
<!-- End BookSense.com link Code-->
