Amazon Affiliate Program

What is the Amazon Associates program?
Amazon Associates is one of the first online affiliate marketing programs and was launched in 1996. The Amazon Associates program has a more than 12 year track record of developing solutions to help website owners, Web developers, and Amazon sellers make money by advertising millions of new and used products from Amazon.com and its subsidiaries, such as Endless.com and SmallParts.com. When website owners and bloggers who are Associates create links and customers click through those links and buy products from Amazon, they earn referral fees. It’s free to join and easy to use.
It provides customers the convenience of referring them to a trusted site where they can immediately purchase the products you advertise on your site. And when they do, you can earn up to 15% in referral fees.

How does it work?
With our simple tools, you can choose several ways to link to Amazon.com and Endless.com from your site.
To add compelling content and enhance your site, you can customize Links, aStores and Widgets. Simply browse and select the type of product you'd like to add, then follow instructions to get started.

Add Widgets to your Site
