Is this a correct way to link a product?

HI,

I want to build affiliate product links by ASIN ids. I am going to use the following method:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/ASIN?tag=associatetag


Will it work?,

Thanks.

 

If you are in doubt, use the amazon associates tools to create your links. That way you can be sure. Don't risk promoting links that don't give you credit...

 

When you do ?tag= as part of the url, it will work, I believe. However, if you wish to promote links according to Amazon's product identification number, here's what I'm doing in my .htaccess file in order to create a virtual file.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^prod_ca\.php$ http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/%1/3554-20 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^prod_de\.php$ http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/%1/1477-21 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^prod_fr\.php$ http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/%1/1254-21 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^prod_jp\.php$ http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/%1/8874-22 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^prod_uk\.php$ http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/%1/1907-21 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^prod_us\.php$ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/%1/0009-20 [L]

Code (markup):

Just put the product id where the %1 is ... and following the last slash is where you would put your associate id.

 

Amazon has a link checker. I do the same as yours and check it with the link checker if I am in doubt.

 

When I doubt I use amazon link check. I think it's work, just have ?tag= in url.
