just joined amazon, but I do not like any of there scripts - since it does not work as well as I thought, the only thing I use is the beta context ads I would like to grab a product and maybe ad my associate ID maybe after the link, the add link tool they have is cumbersome is there any easy way to take a product from amazon.com and adjust the link which will include my assoc id? I have seen it on some sites, but I do not know how they do it without the elongated amazon text link also, what tools do you use that helps you monetize your page with amazon?
I use the following URL structure for my links: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/asin/B00009QI5X/affiliate-id http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/B000CNESV2/affiliate-id replacing affiliate-id with my associate ID of course, and the 10 characters starting with 'B' is the ASIN (you can find this on individual product pages or by querying the web services).
