After you fill out the necessary information you can get the code you need to put on your website.

Click on the Build Links Button and you are given the option to create lots of different kinds of links.

Let's start out by creating a simple banner.

Select the Banner Links option then browse through the banners to see one that you like. Click on the get code button then you will get several lines of html code that looks something like this:

<iframe src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?t=-20&o=1&p=13&l=ur1&category=books&banner=1N4P1140VP34Z66KR2&f=ifr" width="468" height="60" scrolling="no" border="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Copy this and paste it into your website. It has code embedded into it that let's amazon.com know the web visitor is one of your customers. This way you can be credited with the sale. It is important that you get the whole thing. If you leave out any characters it will not be correct and you will not get the credit.

Here is what the code looks like when I pasted it here:

<-- Amazon Banner

Now let's get more specific and create a link to a specific product.

Open up a new browser window and go to amazon.com. You can click on the banner above if you want.

Now browse through Amazon and find a product that your web visitors would be interested in.

I have chosen a book. Make note of the ASIN Number of that product. It is a ten digit code. Write it down. This is the key to finding that exact product.

In my example I have chosen a Stephen King book and the ASIN number is: 0743292332

Now log back into your Amazon.com affiliate program and go to the Build Links then select Product Links. All you have to do is type in the ASIN number and it will create the code for your link.

Now copy the code and put it in your website. Here is what it looks like

<-- Link to a specific Product
