Help??? Promoting Amazon.ca To Canada

Hi,

I am an American looking to join Amazon Canada's affiliate program. I realize that I won't be able to get a .ca domain unless I have a contact that lives in Canada, but believe that if I use Canadian hosting company with servers in Canada and use other domain names like .com or .net that they would rank just as well in the Canadian search engines? Is this a fair assessment? Also, for those who are American or outside Canada and have obtained a .ca domain, how were you able to do this and do you think it makes much difference with the Canadian public as opposed to a .com hosted on a Canadian server.

Additionally, I am also curious for anyone who promotes to Amazon Canada how exactly the taxes work here. I know I would have tally up the earnings made and report these to the IRS in the US; however, I want to find out what if any additional taxes I would have to pay for promoting Amazon Canada in Canada virtually.

    I am dual British and Canadian and have just returned to the UK after 30 years in Canada - with a little jaunt in the US..so I think I can speak to this. And I hope I am correct.

    What is the difference between Amazon.com and Amazon.ca? As far as I was aware it was only the value of the $$. I have had an Amazon account for years but I have never had a .ca account. When I travelled back and forth between Canada and the States I would sometimes get a popup asking if I wanted Amazon.ca (if I was in the US) and Vice versa. Even here in the UK I am still accessing Amazon.com. As for Canadians preferring .ca or .com, when I was in California my email had a .ca and my friends didn't believe I had actually left Canada! The US isn't the only country that does .com is it?

    And, I think Amazon ships out of Seattle for Western Canada...or at least they used to.

    I'm not quite sure what you think the problem is......
