    Hi,

    If someone goes to my amazon.ca affialite links, and then ventures off to Amazon.COM

    Will i get credit for the sale? OR do i need to sign up for Amazon.COM also - and just put AMAZON.COM links on my USA traffic sites?

    Look at your analytics program and see where your visitors are from.

    That will give you the answer.

    My earnings are about 30% non-US.

    You need a seperate Amazon.ca account. And you must send the visitors using the correct tags.

    i.e. sending visitors to Amazon.ca using your Amazon.com tags won't get you any referrals, and vice versa.

    Also if someone visits Amazon.com using your Amazon.com tag, and then eventually buys at Amazon.ca you won't get referrals either.

    You can use geotargetting to show visitors the right links.
