Hi Kevin!

You would paste the html code that you copy from the amazon link on the amazon site inside the <td style="border: 1px solid black;">paste your code here</td>. You also need to make sure that when you are editing your page, that you are in text mode and not visual mode, otherwise the links won't work. Give this a try and let me know how it goes. If you would prefer, you could send me a private message if you don't have any success and I can try and give you a more detailed example.

Good luck!
Shawn

Kind of you, Shawn, to offer the PM. I'll try this and see how it goes.
Many thanks!
Kevin

My pleasure Kevin!

Good to talk with a fellow Canadian! I also signed up for amazon.com initially, but then signed up for a number of the other amazon sites after the fact. Thankfully, this BestAzon plugin will determine which site to send the visitor to.

Let me know if you have any issues when you try it this weekend.

Shawn

Having trouble with Brazil because I can't read it! Lol. Is there a way to do it in English?

Thanks Shawn.

Hi Kevin,
I have the same issues with a number of the amazon sites I've signed up to. I'm not sure what to say, but I thought there was a translate option with each one of them, but maybe not?

Thanks Shawn. Yeah, I looked around for a translate option, thinking that would be likely. It wasn't immediately apparent to me, but I'll go back into and see.

Thanks again for your help!

Kevin

My pleasure Kevin! I hope you're able to find something.

Hey Shawn, after I've installed EasyAzon and put all the affiliate IDs into the settings, do I have to go back and edit the links I've already put in previous/existing blog postings on the site?

I installed the plugin on one of my 3 sites, entered in the IDs for the affiliate programs and saved it (I didn't tinker with any of the advanced settings at the bottom). I then went back to the site and clicked an affiliate link in one of the posts and it still took me to Amazon.com (I'm in Ontario, Canada).

You're being incredibly patient with me. Thank you very sincerely for your help.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Tell me which site you've installed the BestAzon plugin on and I will check some of your amazon links. I also live in Ontario, so if they are amazon.com links, they should render to amazon.ca.

My pleasure, happy to help out! Don't thank me until we get it working, lol.

Regards,
Shawn

Lol. Our time is valuable. I'm grateful you'd share some with me, Shawn.

This site is my least-built of the 3 I have. I thought it'd make the best 'test' in case something went wrong. Lol. But there's not a whole lot of Amazon on there.

However, these posts both have Amazon affiliate links in them:

Hi Kevin,
I tried the amazon links you had from both sites and they went to the amazon.com website instead of going to amazon.ca. Try and save each of those pages again and see if that makes a difference. To be honest, I don't remember if I had to redo my links after installing the plugin.
Let me know if that does anything. If not, I'm afraid you may have to redo the links.

Thanks for taking the time, Shawn!

If I replace the links, do I do anything differently? Or just go back to Amazon.com, get the affiliate link and create it new, now that EasyAzon is installed and activated?

I'll try it there and with the other sites too. Not sure I'll get to it tonight, but I'll get there.

Thanks again. I'm very grateful!

Kevin

My pleasure Kevin,

You shouldn't have to do anything differently. Just make sure your affiliate link(s) that are imbedded in the html code from amazon match the one(s) in your easyazon settings. You should be good to go.

Just to confirm, you're using EasyAzon rather than BestAzon, right?

Good luck!

Shawn

Yep. EasyAzon.

OK

Hey Shawn! It worked! Lol.

Off to update my other sites now :)

Glad to hear it worked Kevin!
Good luck with your other sites.

Hi Icee!
If you're still following the training, it should explain to you how to add content to your web pages. It also shows you how to add a video or insert photos into your pages/posts. I would be happy to try and explain it in more detail for you.
Regards,
Shawn

Hi fhagstrom,
Do you mind sharing what plugin you use , and how is it different from the one mentioned by Shawn?

You mentioned , "the plugin author uses their own affiliate link for that country and will get the commission". that is really very scary the question is does this normally happen? and I'm not sure if Shawn or anyone else has done a thorough testing whether , the affiliate links for these are re-routed to the Plugin's auther. Can anyone shed some light on this.

thanks ,
Haji

Hi Haji,
The plugin I use is The Amazon Link Engine which also requires a Genius Link account to set up. It is limited as to the number of hits you can have in the free version.

The only reason I am using it is because it seemed to be the best one at the time that at least had a free option, however, since Shawn's excellent tutorial, I am seriously considering switching it out and going with his recommendation so, Thank you, Shawn!

The thing about the plugin authors affiliate link, I wouldn't worry about it too much. This only happens when you leave a country blank.

For example, if you decide not to join Amazon Brazil and leave it blank in the plugin, then the authors affiliate link will be used for Amazon Brazil only.

This is very common and they all do this. Perhaps this isn't done with a paid plugin, I'm not sure. Maybe Jovo can come back in and shed some light on that.

My pleasure Jovo! I hope it proves to be useful to people out there.
