How to implement Amazon Associates
The Amazon Associates program has been around for years, bringing income to affiliates via commission per sale. Sales can be low as 1% ranging to 15% on electronic products/downloads.
The main benefit of the program is that you can link to any of the products in the catalog, placing your referral url and then implement the code on your website. They also have regional versions in local languages so Japanese and China customers (via Jojo) can be targeted.
Implementing the Amazon code is easy, there are Javascript, text, graphic and flash options to use. As well as:
- Recommended Product Links
- Search Box
- Context Links (Text)
- Slide Show
- Widgets
- Site Stripe
- aStore
Payments range from paper check, direct deposit into a checking account or Amazon.com gift certificates. All payments are made in U.S. dollars and there’s a minimum payout amount of $20.
