OK it is this simple, all I did was add

A HREF="

to the front of our ugly link...
and

">Free eBook!

to the back of our ugly link

the last thing you have to do is add a bracket that looks like this < to the front and add /A enclosed in brackets like this < > to the back


It is that easy folks...

Don't be afraid of html - which is really simple - especially in this application. HTML stands for hyper text markup language, for those of you that are new to computers.

Quick exercise: We used the Volunteer eBook last time - this time let's feature the Troops

all you have to do is open your Notepad text editor, and modify the link :

http://www.mypowermall.net/cgi-bin/pd/pd.cgi?showmpmcard=11927730560.64422607421875.card
(which is the code for the Troops eBook)

to add the above code to the front and back

A HREF="

">Free eBook!

don't forget the last thing you have to do is add a bracket that looks like this < to the front.
and add /A enclosed in brackets like this < > to the back


THE Result:
