    Hi,

    I had a quick technical question, when you href something and want to point it to amazon to get the commission, what do you do so that you get comission, or do the cookies automatically do this... Thanks. So much so confusing!

    You have to sign up with Amazon as an affiliate first and you have to put your PayPal details in as you sign up. After Amazon confirms that you are now an affiliate, you can get the codes for the products you want to promote or use the widgets on your site.
