Amazon Associates for USA and UK - How to target both countries traffic?

    I've got a wordpress blog running WP Review and am only using Amazon Associates UK. I've had the site up for a couple of weeks and this week started to do more to it, I made my first sale too! £1.80 commission. hahaa

    I was wondering, how would it be possible to target USA traffic as well with Amazon Associates USA?

    I'm trying to think of how I could do it, because at the moment I have an image of the product that is clickable to Amazon, and also two links per review saying "Buy this book, click here". At both the top and bottom of the post

    I'm trying to think of easy ways to make it so that both countries are targeted, but I'm a bit unsure on what would be best, I was thinking flags, but then that makes the site look too much like a product selling site, whereas it is for reviews, and I want the visitors to trust me rather than think I'm just trying to sell them something

    This is how it is currently. (remove star)

    All help would be greatly appreciated :) I'm a newbie to this and I haven't got a clue

    Thanks

    either include both links or use a geotargeting script to only show the right ones based ot the ip of the visitor

    Provide links to the countries you are targeting. Works great for me :)

    See this netbook review for an example.

    I've stopped using the built in Affiliate link option that came with the review plugin and using "Buy from Amazon.co.uk" and "Buy from Amazon.com" buttons instead now.

    I think they'll convert a lot better anyway :)
