I've got hosting with bluehost.com

I dont want to work with wordpress etc as it
seems kinda pointless to what im wanting to do.

Ive been working with photoshop for about 6-7years now
and i consider myself a somewhat guru i guess, so i was woundering
if someone could explain to me how i would beable to fake a coded
site(Basicly just a big picture that looks like a site) then have my 1 link
wherever that says "sign up" or "click here" etc and have it link to wherever.

I find that this would be MUCH easier than working with wordpress, trying to mess with all the plugins,menus, pages etc.

Better example.
Have a wordpress site,
Make a screenshot of the website
Make a "Click here" button on photoshop.
Coded the wordpress site onto my domain as just
a big picture then code the "Click here" button as a link to my offer so to say.

Basicly what Pop-ups do(PPV)

How do i edit the main i guess you would call it index.html?
Or if i make my own index.html where do i replace the old one?

Not sure what you want to achieve. If you want to create a graphic button you can do something like <a href="http://your-aff-link.info/goes-here.htm"><img src="/image-path/image-name.jpg width="some-width" height="some-height" alt="really Big Button"/></a>

If you want to create whole website as "clickable link" (???) than the same as above, just put it in the body of the HTML document and set dimensions.

Anyway, basic HTML is just a week of learning, you should try.
 
I appologize i should have explained a little better...

Basicly what im asking is how do i implement that onto my domain?
I've tried making my own index.html with the img src inside, dropping that into my
ftp manager but then my site gives an internal 500 error of some sort?
 
Upload your image. Your File Manager probably got Upload option. Just use it, you don't need anything more for one image you want to upload. I assume you got index.html ready, so use Edit File option and insert image into the body of HTML document.Make sure you got your source path right.
 
Do you normally promote clickbank products using a normal landing page without sidebar or do you promote Clickbank products using a normal wordpress blog with sidebars included.And if yes do you promote using wordpress posts or just using wordpress single page and making it the front page
 
If you're running PPC to this you're in trouble...if you're trying to SEO this you're in trouble. You should really dump PS and learn WP and all the other normal things that ppl use for landing sites. Not sure what you're trying to use this for. But to answer your question PS can export your design into an index.html file...then just upload it to the root of your site. ... Hope it all works out for you! :)
 
Yea you guys are right, i guess i was just looking for a quick and easy way...

Also i've got another question about the landing page aspect,
other than the fact that you can run many of your offers on one page
and have a review style aspect whats the point?

I mean from my personal experience when i click on something i want to go directly
to that place and do what i intended, not click on this, have to goto this page, then click on something else etc. If something doesn't take me to what i click on i exit out.

&& I know you guys probably arent going to beable to answer this but what are some good tips on how to justify when to use direct linking and a landing page? Just split testing?

Thanks for any and everyones input!
 
Yeah, just split test that shit.

And also, I'm not sure what they're talking about above, but if you want to make it super easy just make the background of your index file the picture you want that you made in PS (just make sure it's centered if you want with 0 margin). Then create a 'div' tag located over the button (the button in you PS picture) you want them to click on with an "invisable" button (just a regular .png file with nothing in it, clear). If you need help with the coding let me know. Also, one image takes longer to load than slicing things up a bit. But you should still be fine doing it this way.

Also, if you wanted to create different links in your PS image you can place a 'div' over each link with the same clear image sized to what you want and with the source of the link you want to direct them to.

+1, Google Adwords is going to see your page as adding nothing for the user as its crawler can't read into images. Thus your going to have your ads disallowed.

Same problem with SEO, no search engine is going to give you a good ranking as all their crawler can see is one image and a link to an affiliate product. You might have the most informative site ever, but if the spiders can't read the content...
 
Exactly what Ulixes said, although if you make a photo in photoshop that you want to use, just leave the content out (a blank space), and then use 'div' tags to fill it in through HTML and it will be perfectly fine. The more content you leave out of the image the better. Again, I'll show you how if you need help.
