Amazon can't generate affiliate link

    Hello dear people,

    I have the following Amazon product I want to create an affiliate link for: http://www.amazon.com/Ergon-GP1-Grip/dp/B001MSJHIU/ref=pd_sim_sg_6

    When I generate the link by the ASIN: B001MSJHIU I get "We were unable to find exact matches for "B001MSJHIU".Please modify your search and try again."

    How can that be?
    Can't I affiliate for this product?
    Will I still get the affiliate fee if the customer is directed to Amazon from my site?

    Anyone had similar issues?

    Many thanks for your help

    That is odd that is shows as not found on amazon search.

    The link type such as
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MSJHIU?tag=YOUR_ID_HERE-20
    Code (markup):
    does work and goes to the correct page tho, and you should still get paid for it.

    Use this format instead:

    /exec/obidos/ASIN/B001MSJHIU/YourAssociateCode-20/
    Code (markup):

    Thank you both for your help. I will try that out.

    I was actually looking for some Amazon support page where I could contact Amazon employees and get some answers to my questions but I could not find a thing. Do you know such a page? is there some official Amazon forum I could use?

    Thanks again

    https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/contact

    or when you are in the Associates area, at the top right there is a link marked "feedback"

    Thank you Vagrant for your help!
    I guess I was blind or something not to see the "contact" page. Where I come from they say: "If you can read, you certainly have an advantage" ;-)
