    Haven't you looked around your associates pages?
    There are tons of ways to link where ever you want.

    Change the text in the code.
    <a href="xxxxxx-xx-x-xxxx-">CHANGE THIS TEXT</a>

    You don't have to figure out where to put the associate ID. If there is already a text link available, like say:

    <a fref="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_/102-2114675-1884919?url=search-alias"> THE PRODUCTLINK</a>

    Just change "THEPRODUCTLINK", to the text that you want to appear, and the link will be the same, with the text of your choice.

    I am a big fan of Amazon.com and have been for a while. They have the best prices online and I think they are great at marketing. In addition to their amazon seller accounts, they also team up with associates who have websites that are literally selling amazon merchandise. I think the idea is great and it will only generate more revenue for amazon. Rather than linking to amazon directly, you could look into becoming a strategic partner with them, where everything within your site is related to Amazon. Check out OnlineMallDirect.com as an example. Hope this helps.:)

    I still don't think you understand me..I already have the text i want on my page. It is nice big font all i have to do is link the text i already have on my page to the amazon book page. The way you keep trying to get me to do it is by having amazon create a link for me with text .

    i can create my own hyperlinks with any word on my page i just want to know how to embed my amazon id in the link.

    or lets say i have a picture of me and when someone clicks on it i want it to take them to the amazon book page and i want to get credit for any book they buy..how would i do that?

    here is my site www.nursingschoolstore.com

    Change the text I have highlighted in bold, and delete the part that I have in italics,(everything after, "</a>") you don't need it. It's that simple.

    when i say take the text out I mean get rid of it...so i am left with just the url with my id in it..

    i dont want the text i want everything else..I already have the word i want to use on my page.Does that make sense?

    I don't need amazon to make a link i can do that on my own..I just want to know where to put my id number in an amazon url some say just put it on the end others say take everything away after the front digits..

    I don't know how to explain this any simpler. The part that I have put in bold, IS YOUR AFFILIATE LINK, WITH YOUR AFFILIATE CODE IN IT!
    Do with it what you want. the rest of that string of code is if you want to display text.
    Other than that...use it for images, symbols, different text...what ever you want.

    You are yuppie0f-20 correct?
    Do you see where your code is on that string...then that is where you want to place it on every link. In the same spot...following the same string of characters.
