Note

Please note that the priority way of placing the product recommendations blocks on the site is to insert the DIV tag created in the PersonaClick account and fill it automatically with the PersonaClick library. The instruction below is intended for exceptional cases when an automatic drawing of the block doesn't give the maximum necessary functionality.
