Whether you want text link or link with product image or both, you have to just select the corresponding code and paste it on your website. You can then directly share these links on Facebook and Twitter using this tool but if you want an edge over others,I recommend you use Amazon Associate's Link Builder. If you've created a website or blog with WordPress, then you can directly search for any amazon product from WordPress editor and link it to your site. The primary advantage of this tool is that it offers your visitors real-time access to the information of linked products.

Additionally, this will also convey to you the availability of the product as well as delivery details. Now,

| link-use |
Text, image, or widget are the options you have but I haven't told you which to use on your website or blog. So, choosing an appropriate display link and placing it in a less irritating location is very important. If you have a product review article, then text links work very well. Giving it just after primary information is preferable so that if a visitor is not interested in reading the complete article, the visitor can just directly go shopping whereas the banner link should be used in a promotional way when there is a festive season and Amazon is offering great Indian sales.
3rd tip is where to place affiliate links on your website?

| affiliate-links |
Search Engines do not like websites with affiliate links present on every page. So, limit the number of links to your product review page only and then internally link the main information page to the corresponding product review page. The
4th tip I have for you is email marketing.
 |
| email-marketing |
E-mails offer a massive ROI of 122% which is even higher than social media. You can get email addresses by urging visitors to sign up on the first visit. So, try to build a high-quality email list. Use the email autoresponder sequence. This will help you to contact subscribers with affiliate offers multiple times and it will automatically send reminder emails for weeks and months. Optimize both day and time so that maximum people open your email.

Use the link-type report to optimize the links. Amazon provides reports of how many clicks each link is receiving. So, use this information to optimize the location of your links to get maximum clicks. No.
6 tip is not all products guarantee a reasonable conversion rate.
 |
| conversion-rate. |
So, you may encounter a situation where many are clicking on your links but orders are less. So, the conversion rate is poor. Now, for tackling this situation, you can do many things like many customers look for Amazon products with no shipping charges or products with Prime logo. Amazon Prime offers free shipping. So, try to include this range of products in your marketing list. You should be familiar with the product you're promoting and you should have used it earlier rather than just revising the existing content from the internet right as an expert and give appropriate product recommendation.
7th tip is to use metrics.
 |
| monthly-metrics |
These are secondary indicators, which are very challenging to detect but simple statistic tools will help you improve your site performance. So, look for the interaction rate. It shows your number of shares on social media for every hundred page views. It helps you understand user engagement. You should look at CTR (click-through rate). It indicates the frequency of clicks on your affiliate links or banner. Third is website loading time. So, how much time your website takes to load. Faster it loads, the more traffic it will drive. You should also look at the lapse rate. Keep a check cancellation rate. You are gaining nothing if 50% of your conversions are getting canceled.
The 8th tip I have for you is to Present solutions to your visitors
 |
| website-visitors |
Many visitors are coming to affiliate marketing when they don't know what exact product they are looking for. If they know what product they want, Wouldnt they just go directly to amazon.com So, affiliate sites must present solutions to questions asked in search engines. for example, what are the best gaming laptops? You have to come up with detailed information based article as a solution to a user's query with those Amazon affiliate links for that product. Use AnswerThePublic or hyper suggests finding relevant questions.
The 9th tip is to create a product comparison grid.

Users may not be interested in reading your2000 words article. This shouldn't become a reason for your visitor to leave your site without clicking on the link. To avoid this create a product comparison grid at the end of your article, here you can compare six-seven products of that category in a tabular format so that visitors get an overall bird's eye view.In the last row, then give a 'Buy Now' button as a link for every product. Whichever product visitor likes, he will click on it and you make money on each link.

Amazon Great Indian sale, Amazon Festive season, Amazon Prime day are amongst the greatest online shopping events in India, and people across the nation wait eagerly for such announcements. When these events are announced, rather than just adding even banner to your website, do a lot of interesting stuff like add sub-pages to your website, featuring exclusive offers, bargains or promotions, send emails of upcoming amazon shopping events to your subscriber list.
The 11th tip expands your niche with multiple tracking IDs.

For every affiliate link, you create there is a tracking ID. If you are creating content, on say electronic gadgets, you will obviously provide affiliate links of products under this category and you will expect that you will get the conversion for the same category but sometimes you will be surprised to find other electronic gadgets also being ordered from the same tracking ID. Don't worry, Amazon will pay you even though they do not belong to your list of advertising products but you can use this feature to expand your content to other products and categories. So, when you are starting with a new category, use other tracking ID. You can have a maximum of 100 tracking IDs.
The 12th tip is the publisher bestseller list.

Friends, try to include a keyword in the URL of your site, this will help the search engine to understand the content of your page. Use headings h1, h2, h3, and add images in a compressed format to make your article more attractive. Use tools like Google Page Speed Insight or webpage test to check the loading speed of your site.
