Amazon launches Contextual Links!!

Posted on 27 March 2007 by Vipul

Amazon has just announced that it has released “Contextual Links” in Beta!

This was a long time coming…. They should have done this ages ago… anyway..

This means that you can insert a simple javascript code into your websites and it will automatically find relevant amazon products to link to on your website ANd you earn the commission!

Here are the 4 simple steps to follow:
1. Visit Associates Central->Build Links->Context Links
2. Specify the maximum number of links you’d like on each page
3. Optionally customize the display of the links with a couple clicks
4. Copy/paste the generated code into your pages

You have the following customization options:

the number of links on each page

which portion of the page will be linked

which Amazon product categories are linked

the matching of exact product names only

if preview windows will appear when your site visitors hover over the links, and the style of those windows

the options of single underline, dashed underline, and double underline link formats to indicate to your site visitors that they are Context Links

You may see some links here –> to Harry Potter dvds.
