How To Link Products To Amazon

When I first began to promote Amazon products on my web pages, I thought that the only way to link to Amazon was to use the Link generator, Banners, Widgets, and aStore tools. But, filling up my pages with little boxes of Amazon products, banners, and widgets didn't look all that good and did not allow me to link a product with just a word or picture.

But, if I just had the HTTP:// with my affiliate code in it, I could link a word or image with that link, and get credit from Amazon for it when, and if, someone clicked on it.

For Example: The Kindle DX from Amazon. If I wrote a page about it, for each time I wrote the word Kindle Dx, I would want to make it a link with my affiliate code in it. That way, should you click on it, I would receive credit for the lead. They are easy Amazon product links. Same with an image of the Kindle DX. Should you click on that, I would receive credit as well. Just Click on the Kindle Text or Image to See...

How To Become an Amazon Affiliate:
Before you can create a hyperlink to Amazon, you need to be an Amazon.com Affiliate. Then you can link keywords and images to Amazon, with your affiliate code in them, for affiliate traffic credit, and cash if an item sells via your lead.

All you need to do, is to go to Amazon.com, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Join Associate link. Or, just click on the "Make Money Advertising Amazon" image below, follow the steps, and fill out the easy sign up form.

Now that you are an Amazon Affiliate, not only can you use the tools that they give you, like the banners, item boxes, and aStore. You can start to link to Amazon items and pages on your topic items in your pages. I am going to stick with the Kindle Dx as my example for this simple tutorial.
After you sign in to Amazon with your e-mail and password, you are going to find a nice new tool bar at the top of your page. It will look like the one above. It will have a "Link to this page," "Add to aStore," and "Your Earnings Summary" buttons on it, as well as a few others.

If you do not see the new "Site Strip" go to your "link and banner" page to turn it on.

Now, let's say that you want to promote the Kindle Dx, after you get to the Kindle Dx page, right click the "Link to this page" button. Then, click on "Open in new window". (I do this so as not to lose the item page that I will be useing again.)

Now this should bring you straight to the "Customize and Get HTML" page. You may have to fill in your pass word again to get here, but you will get here.

Looking at the page above, please take note of the Blue dot next to "Text and Image" in the "Select Link Type" box. You want to take that Blue dot and move it into the "Text Only" circle.

When you place the blue dot into the "Text only" circle, it will change your page to a similar page, but the HTML in box #3 " Get HTML Code For This Product Link" is what we want.

You do not want All the code in the box! Just your link and info. Highlight, right click, and copy the "http://" link between the first two quotes ( " ) This link has your affiliate code as well as the product link together that you can use to link your text and images with.

That is the HTTP:// link that you will use to link your Keywords and Images with. To find out how I do this, Read on...

You can even do this with "Search Result Pages" on Amazon. If you mention Ipods on your page, do a search for Ipods in Amazon, for the page that comes up, hit the "link to this page" and copy the 'http://" link between the first two quotes ( " ) and link the word Ipod to the Amazon search page.

Do not forget to link all of your images as well... I try to link to Amazon with all of my keywords and images.
Need an Ipod? Just click on the image.

This can work for just about any topic you talk about. Be it a person, such as Obama, or just about any product that you can think of. Even a Snot Sucker.

Linking your text and images is pretty easy. To do this, it helps to have a page creator that will generate HTML code for you as you "compose" your page. I like to use Blogger to do this. Why? Because it is free and most of the HTML code that it creates works in other sites.

With Blogger, I can add text and images that I can link with a few clicks of the mouse. The images can be placed left, right, or center. Made small, medium, or large and have it all next to the text that describes it.

After I compose my page, check the spelling and links, I hit the HTML button, copy the HTML, and then paste it in places, like this lens....

If you wish to use Blogger, after you sign up, it will bring you to your Dashboard. From the dashboard, just click on "New Post" and it will bring you to the Blogger Create Page..


For those of you who know how to do all this, please excuse the rest of us. I am going to try to break this down as if I was explaining it to someone who has never seen this stuff before.

From here, we go to the two main buttons that we will use...

The Two main buttons we will use are the Link

And the Add Image

First. Fill in your text and images that you wish to use.

After you have your Text and images, go retrieve the link you wish to use. Mine was for the Kindle DX. Now just Highlight the Text or click on the Image you wish to link and click on the "Link" button that I gave a picture of above.

A Hyperlink box will appear, Paste your link into the hyperlink box. Right click over the already blue "http://" in the URL box and then click "Paste." Or, if image or word already has a link, you can replace it with the one you have. That is it. Your Text or Image is now "Linked."

To get all the text and images that you linked to above in HTML format, all you have to do is click on the "Edit HTML" box. Left click inside the box with the HTML, then Right click. Hit "Select all", (This will turn it all blue) then Right click again and click on "Copy."

Now you can take this to your Squidoo Text Module and Right click and "Paste" it there. Hit "Save" and your Hyperlinked text and images will appear there.

If you just want to make an easy link or two, but do not want to go through all the work shown above, just use the MySpace Link Generator.

Just place your keyword, or the word you want to link, in the block that says "Name". And place the Link you want to use in the "URL" box. Hit "Generate Code" and it will make the HTML you need to copy and paste into your page.
