How To Make Category PowerLinks

Category PowerLinks are similar to Search PowerLinks, except that the visitor links to a Music 44 product category instead of a search result. Keep in mind that our parent categories are publishers. That makes it easier to display a publisher's product line in a given series.

A Category PowerLink is a good choice, for example, when you want a link to display all "Essential Elements 2000" books, or all "Suzuki" methods, or all "E-Z Play Today" piano books, or all "Guitar Signature Licks" instructional book/CDs, etc. On the other hand, if you want to include items from multiple publishers (to show ALL "easy piano" books or ALL "violin method" books), a Search PowerLink is for "easy piano" or "violin method" is better.

Before you create a Category PowerLink, you must first locate the category code. How to find category codes:

1. Navigate to the product page of a product in the category you want to display.
2. At the top of the product page is a "Category Tree" that looks like this:
   Home > Alfred Publishing (Warner Brothers Publishing) > Instrumental > Suzuki Methods > Suzuki Piano School Piano Book - DR. SHINICHI SUZUKI - Volume 1 (Revised) - keyboard Series
3. The last link in this series is a link to the page you are currently on. Click up the category tree one level. In the sample above, you would click on "Suzuki Methods".
4. The category page "Suzuki Methods" will be displayed. Read the SearchTool keyword at the left side of the page in order to find the category code, W7IJ.
