Adding Amazon links to your website.

Hello Everyone. I spent a terrible 2 or 3 days last week trying to put links from amazon on to my site. Everything went fine with it until I viewed my site and clicked the link and guess what nothing happened even though the link was there. In the end the solution was so simple that I felt I should share it with you.

You go to amazon and grab the links HTML code I have grabbed one below for this .

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBCXGN8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00CBCXGN8&linkCode=as2&tag=briljeweandge-20&linkId=AAMRMRFQDM4U6O2N">JSC Jewellery Aneurysm Medical Alert Nomination Style Stainless Steel Bracelet

ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com="" e="" ir?t="briljeweandge-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00CBCXGN8"" title="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=briljeweandge-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00CBCXGN8" >http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=briljeweandge-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00CBCXGN8" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />

If you paste the above code into your link on your website it will not work because you need to delete this part of the code <a href=" as highlighted in bold above.

How you do this is in your page edit click where you have your link on your page and hit the link chain on the top toolbar when the link pop up box comes up delete the <a href=" and click update. That will take you back to your page. Just update your page and thats it. So simple when you know what to do the main thing to note is that your link always has to start with http otherwise it will not work.

A huge thank you to tonythorson for all his help on this.
