Hi there

is there a way to add a link to a amazon associates product into a email at gmail.

I have an amazon shop on my site but I want to send a specific item to a client of mine. I can see how to add a hyperlink but in amazon it only gives you html code and not hoplinks like in clickbank.

can you help

    As far as I know this link won't be tracked. It needs to be referred from a site that you've setup in your Amazon associates panel (you can't set Google as "your site".)

    so the only way to do it then is to add the book to my shop and then send her the link to the shop in the email?

      Before you do much email marketing with Amazon you need to understand that it is against their terms.

For example, you will not engage in any promotional, marketing, or other advertising activities in any offline manner, including by using any of our or our affiliates' trademarks or logos (including any Amazon Mark), any Content, or any Special Link in connection with an offline promotion or in any other offline manner (e.g., in any printed material, mailing, email or attachment to email, or other document, or any oral solicitation).

      You can use the email to direct folks to your web page which has the Amazon link.
