Banners & embed codes
IllusionCloud provides ready‑made banner images and HTML code so you can promote our services on your website or blog. Follow these steps to find and use them:
1. **Open your affiliate dashboard** – Log in to the IllusionCloud Client Area and click **Affiliates** to open your affiliate area.
2. **Browse available banners** – In the affiliate area there is a section labelled **Marketing Materials**, **Banners** or **Links** (terminology may vary). Here you'll find banners in different sizes (for example 468×60, 120×60 and 300×250) and formats (static images or animated GIFs).
3. **Copy the embed code** – Each banner displays an HTML snippet containing your unique referral link. A typical snippet looks like this:
<a href="https://yourdomain.com/aff.php?aff=YOURID"><img src="https://yourdomain.com/banners/468x60banner.gif" width="468" height="60" alt="IllusionCloud Banner" border="0"></a>
The `href` attribute includes your affiliate ID, while the `<img>` tag points to the hosted banner image. WHMCS uses special notation (`<( )>` brackets) in the dashboard to prevent code execution, but when copying the code into your own site you should preserve the standard HTML structure so the banner and referral link function correctly【448545886364298†L2760-L2778】.
4. **Paste into your site** – Copy the entire snippet and paste it into the HTML of your website, blog, forum signature or email template. Do **not** modify the `href` parameter or remove your referral code, otherwise the click may not track.
5. **Customize the appearance** – You can adjust the `width` and `height` attributes to fit your layout or wrap the banner in a `<div>` for styling. If your platform strips HTML, you can instead use a plain text link (see the “Find your affiliate link” page) and link the text manually.
By following these steps you ensure that your banner displays properly and that your affiliate referrals are recorded. Feel free to experiment with different banner sizes and placements to see which performs best.
