Before creating your first box, follow these best practices to avoid common mistakes and improve conversions.
Use Square or Near-Square Images
- Recommended ratio: 1:1
- Avoid very tall or very wide images
- Use clean product images with neutral backgrounds
This ensures consistent layouts across templates.
Standardize Your CTA Text
Pick one main CTA and use it consistently:
Examples:
- “Check Price on Amazon”
- “View on Amazon”
- “See Today’s Price”
Consistency builds trust and improves click-through rates.
Do Not Force or Fake Prices
- Only show prices if they are accurate
- Avoid outdated or misleading pricing
- If unsure, hide the price field
Trust beats urgency in the long run.
One Box Per Section
Avoid stacking many boxes together.
Recommended:
- One box per section
- Place boxes after key informational paragraphs
This keeps the page readable and avoids banner blindness.
Preview Before Publishing
Always:
- Preview on desktop and mobile
- Check spacing and alignment
- Click the affiliate link to confirm it works
Following these practices reduces misuse, improves performance, and increases conversions from day one.
