Dynamic Amazon Affiliate link! [Generated automatically depending on page]

by GBM
9 replies
Does anyone know how to set up a dynamic amazon affiliate link that's generated based on the web page?

For example:

Bob goes to amazon-shop.com/skateboard
It gives an affiliate link to a skateboard on amazon

John goes to amazon-shop.com/computer
It gives an affiliate link to a computer on amazon

I would REALLY appreciate any help.

Thanks

    Seems like Viglink may be what you're looking for. It automatically affiliate every outgoing link on your website once you installed it. Check it out.

      Not exactly what I was looking for (if you read my examples), but on a side note that looks really nice!

      Do you know if VigLink takes a cut of your affiliate sales? (I'd imagine so because it's free). If so, how much?

      Thanks

        Is this going from website to Amazon?

        For example, Bob is on your site and he click on "skateboard" and you want the link to be your affiliate link for "skateboard"

        and John is on your site and he click "Golf Ball" and you want to the link to be your affiliate link for "Golf Ball".

        Depending on how the person is arriving at Amazon page, there are few ways you can do it.

        How are Bob or John arriving at Amazon pages? From your website or some other place?

        Thanks

          Picture this...

          You can go to any page on my website. The page will create itself...

          Someone could go to my-site.com/iPhoneCases and on the website it would automatically have an affiliate link to an iPhone case on Amazon.

          Someone could go to my-site.com/RedWagon and on the website it would automatically have an affiliate link to a wagon on Amazon.

          You get the idea..

          Basically I need my website to do this:

          1. Takes the url (whatever's after the slash) and searches it on Amazon to find the most relevant product.
          2. Gets the affiliate link for that product.
          3. Produces the the product description along with an image and the affiliate link.

          I won't be marketing this website by itself... it will be a tool used for other stuff that I need.

          Thanks

        They definitely do - the industry standard is that they take 25% of your affiliate sales. They also have a competitor called Skimlinks but i personally prefer viglink.

          Are you asking for a plugin that creates a page/post on your website on the FLY? And then plugs in your affiliate link to amazon for that product?

    Azon click magnet plugin does this, but not in the post it puts the product link in the side bar with an image.
    You just set up different Campaign for each of your categories product range and it shows the right products for that page.
