Affiliate links to Amazon author page

If you have an author page, you can just add your affiliate code to the link to the author page, like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Harvey-Chute/e/B00A4KLTOW?tag=kbrds-20.

Make sure you use the "bare-bones" link to the author page, ending with the pseudo ASIN, then a question mark and your code.

Perfect, thank you! this is exactly what I was looking for!

>Make sure you use the "bare-bones" link

I wonder whether you can add it to any link if you include a forward slash. Like this:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Al+Macy&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AAl+Macy/?tag=almaau-20

A tip: I add my affiliate link whenever I put a link to amazon, whether it's on this forum or elsewhere. I have a keyboard macro: whenever I type the letters #ama the macro types out "/?tag=almaau-20"

Thus, if anyone follows my link, then buys a refrigerator, I get a little money.

I was keeping it simple, but if you are using a link that already has a question mark in it, like the one you used, Al, you need to use an ampersand instead of a question mark. Or at least that is what I understand.

Though, of course, links on KB using affiliate codes other than our own is not allowed.

I didn't know that, either. I will stop doing it.

BTW, I don't want to brag, but I've made four cents through my affiliate program. Yay!

Yay! Your sig, if you use our tools, will automatically have our codes.
