Banners are placed across the top of your website, under the header.
That is a little different that inserting an image into the Sales Offer which displays on the sidebar.
For a banner across the top or bottom you do it in the Ad a Banner Ads section at the bottom of the Ads & Banner Setup page.
Here is a picture:


You can title it, but this title will not display on the website. It's just for you.
Ad Placement and Type are set at Top and Banner by default. Change them if you like, but don't worry about it.

The next section is "Advertiser or Website URL" This is where your affiliate link goes. This is the link that you want people to be directed to when they click on the banner.

Then you have to insert your image. Use "Banner URL" if the image is online somewhere. Paste the link in the field.

Select "Upload Banner" if the image is already on your computer. You get a browse option. Go to the file you want.

Click Add Ad.

These banners will not always render in every theme. If you create a top and bottom banner and try different themes, you'll see when it will and will not show.
