Is There a Way to Tell the Referring URL of Amazon Sales?

    Besides setting up tracking ID's, is there a way to tell what URL referred an Amazon sale? I'd love to have this information but can't find it anywhere in my Amazon affiliate account.

    The only way to track sales is by creating tracking ID. You can upto 100 tracking ID's.

    I generally create just one tracking ID per website - so I'll know which affiliate site sent the buyer. This is critical information to know!

    Then, using the Wordpress plugin 'Prettylinks' - I can track which links on the site are being used the most by visitors.

    Thanks for this info. Prettylinks sounds like a helpful plugin.

    There must be a way because Squidoo somehow does it. Any thoughts?

    There are some cloaking tricks that may be able to do what you're asking.
