    The simplest way to ensure you can view which products were clicked on and keep your links simple is to use this format:

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN/?tag=affiliatetag-20
    Code (markup):
    When you use the links generated by Amazon or their API they show up as 'Other' under the click report.

    I am registering on amazon affiliate program, and I always get warning: Please specify a valid URL in this field. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I tried with www. or just with http:// but it won't work. What am I doing wrong?
