Does anybody know if Amazon links its affiliates?

Hi everyone

Just in case there were others who wanted to know the answer - here is the response I finally got from amazon.

Take care

Greetings from the Amazon.com Associates Program.

I apologize for the delay in responding to your e-mail message. We are currently
receiving higher than normal contact volume to the Associates Program Customer
Service Department. Please be assured that all of us here are working very hard
to provide a thorough, personal answer to each of our Associates as quickly as
possible.


Thank you for writing into the Amazon.com Associate Program. I am sorry for the
misunderstanding about your Amazon.com and your Amazon.co.uk accounts. When a
customer clicks on your Amazon.com link on your web site and doesn't order
anything and then goes to Amazon.co.uk and places an order, you don't get those
referral fees. If you have an Amazon.co.uk link on your website and an order was
placed through that link, then you would get the referral fees. If you want the
referral fees from orders placed on Amazon.co.uk, I would suggest that you put a
.co.uk link on your site as well. This will open a door for all your .co.uk
customers.

while you are at it - there are also amazon programs for germany, france and japan. you have to apply seperately.
maybe there is even a chance to show the best affiliate link dependiing on geo-location?
