    Does anyone know if Amazon or anyone offers a reseller program. We are looking to sell products online using someone elses model. I would like to run their info in a framed page and then looking for a kickback. Anyone have any suggestions? We have our own products and we will have our own products page, but I want to provide to certain parts of the US market. Thanks for any advice.

    Bottom left area of the Amazon.com navigation, you will find their "Associates Program".

    Have you heard any feedback on their product? I just received confirmation from Kingston to incorporate their handy little tools into my site and I heard they are fabulous. Any experience with Amazon?

    Personally, I don't care for their affiliate program. Their cookies are session only, so if the user closes their browser, you don't get credit after that. Most other affiliate programs give a 30 day cookie. But it really depends on your target audience. I'm sure there are some amazon.com affiliates that it really works well in their site model, and probably are making $100k/month. But for me personally, it doesn't work that well.

    They have the ability to serve up ads/products based on keywords which is nice (I run a few here as alternate ads to AdSense), but it would be really nice if they were contextual like AdSense, and you didn't have to figure out keywords on your own for each page.

    from everything I've heard about affiliate programs the best results are usually very, very targetted ones- targetted well beyond something automated. pages designed around the theme/products, etc.

    There are a lot of sites/merchants offering affiliate programs.
    You should check places like commissionjunction and linkshare.

    Their cookies are only session? I'd think they'd atleast be fair and make them 24 hours...
