AWS Links

[r2d2]

Any tried building an AWS link recently? Just building a UK AWS site and it doesnt appear that you can now use the 'Buy from Amazon' add-to-cart image links - or at least they dont give you the code anymore.

Theres a bit in the help on Amazon.com that says use the 'code below', but there isnt any!

I've been looking at this also for aws4.
The format I have used on kids toys isn't tracking - presumably clicks should show up on the amazon associates website (even if there aren't any purchases?)

I have clicked through from products to amazon and even added to their cart but no tracking is showing up

can anyone confirm the correct link format?

<form method="post" action="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/dt/assoc/handle-buy-box=[ASIN]">
<input type="hidden" name="asin.[ASIN]" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="tag-value" value="[PARTNER-ID]">
<input type="hidden" name="tag_value" value="[PARTNER-ID]">
<input type="hidden" name="dev-tag-value" value="[SUBSCRIBER-ID]">
<input type="submit" name="submit.add-to-cart" value="buy from Amazon">
</form>

Tomek - thanks

how soon before the tracking starts showing up on the amazon associates site?

tomek, do you know what that code would be for amazon.co.uk, or where I could find it?

Is this the non-javascript part of the add-to-cart links you used to be able to get? What about the submit button image?

>how soon before the tracking starts showing up on the amazon associates site?
on the next day - just do a few clicks yourself and they should show up tomorrow

>do you know what that code would be for amazon.co.uk
just replace amazon.com with amazon.co.uk in the action attribute of the form

>Is this the non-javascript part of the add-to-cart links you used to be able to get?
I don't understand this question.

>What about the submit button image?
change:
input type="submit" name="submit.add-to-cart" value="buy from Amazon"
to:
input type="image" src="images/submit_img.gif"

images/submit_img.gif can either be one of your images or a hot-linked amazon image like this one:

I think I tried that, but it couldnt find the page. I may have been changing something else though... I will have a go later when I get home.

Cheers for the add to cart image link too.
