Amazon Product Links

  1. Click on the tab labeled "Links and Banners" displayed near the top of the Amazon Associates landing page.

  5. Choose whether you want a text link, image link, or text and image link combined to feature that particular product on your blog. For example, if your blog features a review about a cleaning product, place a text link for the product in a paragraph of your review, so visitors can click on the cleaning product link and be redirected to Amazon to buy the product.
  6. Scroll down to the bottom of the product landing page, then click on "Highlight HTML."
  7. Copy the code provided, then paste the code into the HTML editor of your blog. Visitors to your blog will then be able to click on the link, and buy the product from Amazon. Amazon Associates will reward you with a referral fee for sending visitors to Amazon by way of your blog.

Amazon Banner Links

  2. Click on "Banner Links" located on the left side of the landing page. "Banner Links" will allow you to feature banners on your blog that advertise certain Amazon product categories. For example, if you write a sports blog, you can add banners to your site that advertise sporting goods that are being sold on Amazon.
  3. Choose a banner category link from the options displayed on the "Banner Links" tab. For example, if you have written a blog post about your favorite type of jewelry, click on "Jewelry" to see a collection of banners that advertise jewelry.
  4. Scroll through the list of banners provided, then click on "Highlight HTML" below the banner of your choice.
  5. Use your keyboard or mouse to copy the HTML code, then paste the code into the HTML editor section of your blog. Any user who clicks on the banner from your blog will be redirected to an Amazon product page that features products for sale in the category you have chosen.

Tips

  • Write articles on your blog about the Amazon products that will earn you the highest amount of referral fees. For example, if you earn higher referral fees from visitors who purchase music downloads from Amazon, write a higher number of blog posts about music products to maximize your earning potential from Amazon Associates.
  • Consult with your blog provider directly if you need assistance with adding HTML code to the HTML editor of your blog. In most cases, you can add Amazon ads through your HTML editor at the time you compose new blog posts, or add banners to the HTML interface of your blog layout.
