    If I just want to link to a product on amazon with my affiliate id, and not display it on an entire page through html, then I just copy the href link from the html code, correct? Also are there any rules to anchor text? Can I use whatever I want to link to a product?

    So....

    <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00023ZYUQ?ie=UTF8&tag=trespi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00023ZYUQ">CytoGainer</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=trespi-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00023ZYUQ" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />


    would be....

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00023ZYUQ?ie=UTF8&tag=trespi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00023ZYUQ">CytoGainer</a><img

    Yes if you want text link that should work. You need to put the <a href=" infront of the url and take the image code off the end you left it on.

    Ok, so a text link would look like this....

    <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00023ZYUQ?ie=UTF8&tag=trespi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00023ZYUQ">CytoGainer

    ?

    why does the <a href need to be on the front?

    No need to use long url to make text link to a certain amazon product. You can use this url :
    <pre><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ASIN/?tag=AFFILIATE-ID">TEXT LINK</a></pre>

    Just replace the ASIN number & AFFILIATE-ID with your ID.
    Hope that helps.
