1.is this true:"the great thing about Amazon is that you don’t just earn a commission on the product that you lead people to, but anything that they buy once they’re at Amazon." 2. can you tell a aff link: http://concreteloop.com/2008/07/dvd-releases-city-of-men-in-stores-now#more-28266 at the bottom of that blog post there are 3 pics of the DVD covers that when clicked on lead to amazon, are those aff links for sure? or is the person actually just leading to amazon just because, how can you tell? Every book on this post is an affiliate link he makes money from right?:http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/06/17/5-influential-books-all-bloggers-should-know/ 2. whats an astore? its just your own mini amazon.com site with a different domain name and usually a specific niche, right? so to make money from amazon you can make an astore, refer people to products and what else? what are all the ways to make money with amazon???
1. Amazon uses cookies so once they click on your link there is a cookie with your id in it. So anything they buy on that site gives you a commission. The cookies only last for 24 hours (or less if they delete it). 2. Yeah you can tell if a link has an Aff. link in it.
Yes, one can tell if they know what to look for whether a link is an affiliate link or not. The average person surfing the web can't. You are also right on what an astore is. With Amazon, you have to refer people to them either through text links, widgets, astores, or using scripts. Those are the main ways - all earn you the same commission rate.
