    Can anyone tell me, if I promote amazon products and someone clicks on my link to amazon.com and that person is based in the UK and switch over to amazon.co.uk do I still get credit for the sale (when they purchase).

    no, you don't. Cause the affiliate-id is connected to a local Amazon site only, unfortunately.

    Thats what I thought. Would it then be better to have 2 affiliate links on the page, and send US visitors to amazon.com and UK visitors to amazon.co.uk

    If you're on Wordpress, you can use the Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer plug-in.

    If your visitor is visiting from the UK they'll get a link to Amazon.co.uk, if they're visiting from the US they'll get a link to the same product on Amazon.com.

    Nice tip on the Geo Location plugin. This has always frustrated me that Amazon don't provide a solution. But the fact is both accounts are completely separate.

    The same goes for accounts on Amazon.it, amazon.de, amazon.fr etc.
