LINKING METHOD FOUR:
Have your Visitors Add Products Directly to the ArtScroll.com Shopping Cart
You can build a store of recommended items, and let visitors select them without entering our product pages. Granting the convenience of a shopping cart button on your own site will endear you even more to your regular visitors.

Pick your favorites and tell the rest of the world about them. Providing quality reviews that your visitors enjoy is the best way to get repeat traffic to your site. When they are ready to buy, let them add the product from your site (which places them in our shopping cart page) and then click the "back" button to return to you. They can go back and forth as often as they like and not lose the items they've placed into their carts.

Note: There are two ways to configure your shopping cart setup.

1. Have all links go directly to the shopping cart page. The link from the graphic image and from any linking text, such as "buy it now!", will place your visitor right into the shopping cart page on our site.
2. Use an "Place in cart" button. The link from the graphic image and any linking text can go to the regular product page, but a button on your site places the visitor directly in the shopping cart page.
   

Here's how to place visitors directly into the shopping cart page:

http://artscroll.com/linker/your_associates_id/add/ArtScroll_catalog_number

Replace your_associates_id with the unique Associates ID that you will be assigned. You will receive an e-mail containing your unique Associates ID after your online application is approved.

Replace ArtScroll_catalog_number with the ArtScroll catalog number your customer will place in their cart. You will find the catalog number listed on the individual product page for each items on the ArtScroll.com site.

Here's an example of how the link might look in your HTML document:

<A HREF="http://artscroll.com/linker/artscrollassoc/add/SACH"> Add the ArtScroll Siddur to your Cart</A>

The following example shows how the link might appear next to a book cover you obtain from our site. You can link directly to the image on the ArtScroll.com site, or copy the image to your own website for faster page loading.

Images are available in 3 sizes:

1. A regular-sized gif that can be copied directly from the product page; or
2. A large-sized jpg image that can be used as a zoom in image - linked from the above gif image.
3. A thumbnail sized gif with the same name located in our thumbnail directory: i.e.,
   catalog_number_lowercase.gif .
   
   There are multiple thumbnail directories, each one containing all the thumbnails for the products with catalog numbers starting with the same letter of the alphabet: ie
   http://artscroll.com/images/nails/first_letter_of_the_catalog_number_lowercase/
   
   For example, if the catalog number is SACH - the ArtScroll Siddur, then the complete location of the thumbnail image file is http://artscroll.com/images/nails/s/sach.gif

To copy the image to your own web site, do the following:

1. Locate the product graphic that you would like use copy.
2. Place the pointer over the ArtScroll.com product graphic.
3. Save it on your computer's hard drive by clicking the right mouse button (the one you don't normally use) and choosing the option to save the picture.
4. Refer to your Internet service provider's online documentation for instructions on uploading graphics to your Web pages.

Here is a sample "Place in cart" button that you may use:

To download this "add to cart button," do the following:

1. Place the pointer over the "add to cart" button.
2. Save it on your computer's hard drive by clicking the right mouse button (the one you don't normally use) and choosing the option to save the picture.
3. Refer to your Internet service provider's online documentation for instructions on uploading graphics to your Web pages.

Here is how the code would look in your HTML document:

Replace your_associates_id with the unique Associates ID that you will be assigned. You will receive an e-mail containing your unique Associates ID after your online application is approved.

<A HREF="http://artscroll.com/linker/your_associates_id/add?SACH"><IMG SRC="http://artscroll.com/images/siteimages/Place.jpg" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"></A>
