3. Add affiliate link details
Adding your affiliate link details is like adding the final sprinkle to your favorite recipe.
First, enter the keyword you want to link across your blog.

Next, make your link even better! Toggle the Options you want On or Off.
Here’s what each option does:
- Add rel=”nofollow”: Tells search engines it’s a paid link. This helps your blog stay in Google’s good graces!
- Add rel=”sponsored”: Another way to let search engines know it’s an affiliate link.
- Open link in new window: Keeps readers on your blog while they check out your favorite cookie sheet!
- Append disclosure: Adds a quick note to tell readers it's an affiliate link (keeping you legal).
- Prevent auto-linking: Stops the link from popping up everywhere if you only want it in certain spots.
Want to make it more eye-catching? With Tasty Links, you can also add a featured image by pasting the image URL in the Featured Image box.
Once everything looks good, hit Save Draft to double-check or Publish to make it live. And just like that, your first Tasty Link is ready to serve! 🍽️
