Creating Links:

Path, from the left navigation menu: ['Promotional Tools' section] > Create Links

Links to your site are incredibly important as they not only mean 'more sales' but also affect the ranking of your website within the search engines. You need to be sending out as many links as possible to maximize both your sales and rankings (inherently linked, of course).

To load the Create Links page, in order to create links for promotional purposes, you need to select the link entitled "Create Links" under the Promotional Tools section of the left navigation menu, as shown here:
