How to add the verification hashtag “#ShareASale” to your Website
- Create a New Page or Post on Your Website
Log in to your website’s content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Wix, or any other platform. Once you’re logged in, create a new blog post, page, or article on your website. This can be done easily by clicking on "Add New Post" or "Create New Page" depending on your platform. - Title Your Page or Article “#ShareASale”
In the title section of your new page or article, simply write “#ShareASale”. This will show that you have control of your website and can publish content. - Write a Simple Message in the Content Area
In the content area of your new page or post, write a brief message. It doesn’t need to be long or complicated! Here’s an example of what you can write:
"This page is created for the purpose of verifying my website for the ShareASale affiliate network registration. I have access to and manage the content on this website."
- Publish the Page or Post
Once you've created the new page or post, go ahead and publish it to your website. Make sure the post is public and visible to anyone who visits your site. - Share the Link with Us for Verification
After you’ve published the post, copy the URL (web address) of that page or post and submit it through the affiliate network’s registration platform for verification. This shows us that you have access to your website and can create content.
