Hi, I just struck gold and acquired an Amazon typos. I do not want to give the URL out out, but it is very nice and gets some traffic! My question is...I simply want to redirect it to the Amazon homepage, how do I do this, what affiliate code do I use? I have always just built links! Now I just want it sent to the Amazon homepage...I know how to redirect it using Godaddy...but what or how do i code the affiliate link? Please help!!
I would just redirect to page with the products not home page. If you make page with products i think it works better for Seo
I am getting a few thousands hits every few hours...its a very nice typos! This is my problem...I actually want to redirect my URL to the Target Store @ Amazon. What do I do...how do I code it..HTML?? say I want to redirect it to Amazon.com and my affilate ID is ABC123...what does the URL HTML look like? I need help with the coding...please help!
amazon will see your referrer and realise this is the case, read the tos, your not allowed to own a type domain of amazon or anything similar. I would not do this as you risk having your account suspended.
I guess the solution would be to forward the traffic to a personal website that has links to Amazon on it, or forward the traffic to an astore.
Amazon is going to find your sudden spike in sales suspicious, and will grill you about how you're getting your traffic before they release a check.
yeah i would definitely redirect that traffic to your own site first, instead of trying to pass it directly to amazon with an affiliate id. sure you'll probably lose some people, but it's less likely to piss amazon off.
I'd recommend opening 3-4 associate accounts on amazon, and when you setup your redirects change them on a regular basis to blend your profits.
You could probably offer to Amazon that you will sell it to them, adding a ref link would probably get in trouble, redirect to your own site is most likely recommended.
Use PHP to randomly go to one of 4 of your sites, all with diff amazon id's. or just take to a competitors page with your link.
As many have already stated, you want to change the referral address of how it would appear to Amazon. Majority of all affiliate networks do not allow you to bid on typo's of their web address or name. So you should set up a landing page for the adword clicks; then then have the users go to Amazon from there. So now the referral url will be your landing page.
You might try redirecting the traffic to a competitor like Buy.com. I don't honestly think Amazon would want such a site in their affiliate network, even if you just placed affiliate links on your site.
