    It depends on which Link Tool you are using. Amazon code is actually not that easy to modify... and if you do you run the risk of dropping your cookies. Basic HTML is not always applicable. You can do somethings with CSS on your site. Make sure you use the best tool for the job and if it isn't perfect... you have to decide whether you want to risk running links that will send traffic but not pay you a commission. There is a "Test" feature in Amazon where you can type in your URL to make sure they are recording it properly. Check that out for sure even if you don't modify the code.

    It is well worth learning a little bit of HTML to help you in these areas. To make an image clickable, wrap the link around the image, like this:

    <a href="http://www.amazon.com/product">
    <img src="/images/pic_of_product.jpg" alt="Picture" title="Picture" width="200px" height="200px" />
    </a>

    What or where is CP your referred to?
    It would be nice to have a comment that is a little more meaningful and avoid using cryptic terms like org, url and cp. Some of use are not very technical.

    Since each blog post will be different and product link will be different too. My concern is how do you put the HTML Code For The Product Link within your blog post? Also, which link type would be the best? image with text, image only or text only?

    Sometimes people just post rubbish that doesn't make sense, to up their post count... so it is doubly confusing

    You have to create a new link for each Amazon product you are promoting. This has given me a good idea for a little WP plugin... :)

    I would link in the text definately, and also put images that link to the product.
