My site is almost ready. My last job is signing up to Amazon and getting affiliate links to put in my site.
However, I'm very confused about where to sign up, Amazon US, or UK.
Most people say to sign up both. I don't understand this.
1.If I sign up both, from which of them should I get the affiliate links?
2. If I get the affiliate links from Amazon US, then what's the use of UK?
3. While signing up both, should I use the same ID,e-mail,etc...
Thanks alot for your help in advance...

    Which site do you want to promote? If your traffic is expected to be primarily US-based, go with .US. If you are marketing to UK residents, go the UK route.

      Sorry, I have read alot about it but couldn't understand. Can you explain me how to use link localizer a bit?
      Should I sign up Amazon US and UK with the same ID and e-mail etc?
      For eaxample, I'm promoting a product and I want to take an affiliate link for it from Amazon, should I take it both from Amazon US and UK to make link localizer work?

    Have you personally used a specific link localizer? I've not come across any that appear to work consistently.

      Yes i have, not had any issues.

      Zonkow,

      You can use different emails if you want (i used same one) i also used same tracking IDs. When you activate a link localizer plugin you can add both tracking IDs for amazon uk and amazon.com.
