Amazon Associates
Hello everyone, this is just a short note to update a question I asked on March 20 2015 about having 2 Amazon Associate (affiliate) accounts at once. (See here)
The general consensus seemed to be that you cannot have more than one account and that I should close my .com account as I am resident in the UK. I contacted Amazon through their support area and this is the response I got.
“Hello Chris,
I will be happy to help you out by closing your Amazon.com Associates account for you.
However, before we do that, I wanted to let you know that you are welcome to have an Associates account for more than one of the Amazon.com sister sites at a time.
This means that you can have an Associates account for both Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com.”
So it appears that you can have as many accounts as you like. I am not sure how you would decide which account to link to or how to multiple link for one product when monetizing your sites. Another question, perhaps?
Thanks for reading,
Cheers,
Chris.

I have just done some digging and I think the plugin you need is easyazon v.4 and the link to their site is http://easyazon.com/
Check it out and see what you think
Hope this helps
Thanks for this Amazon update, and great of you to share this first hand information with the WA community. Now lets all have some more success with Amazon...!
There is a plugin which displays your goods in the relevant currency and also picks alternative products for you if the particular product isn't available in that particular country. I can't remember the name of it because I do not use Amazon but you should be able to find it if you search through the plugin site. From memory though I think you have to pay for it
Hope this helps
Thanks for that Terry, I don't mind paying for stuff if it solves the problem. I had a feeling that there must be a way to achieve this.
Cheers,
Chris.
