Quick Amazon Direct Link Generator

Tired of schlepping (spelling?) over to Amazon to re-familiarize yourself with how to set up a direct link to a single product? Try this little bookmarklet instead:

Create Amazon Url

It works as is, by clicking on it, or just left-click on it and drag it up to your browser's toolbar and it will be saved there for whenever you need it.

Once it's on the tool bar, right-click on its icon and left-click on the Properties menu selection.

When that comes up, you just have to change where it says "YourAmazonAffiliateIDHere", to be your actual Amazon affiliate id.

Shareasale launches PPC Management Tool

While LinkShare asked their merchants to send a "Terms Addition" to help manage the issue of PPC bidding on brand names and trademarks, it's Shareasale that have jumped ahead with a PPC Management Tool. Not only does this allow merchants to define what exact words and phrases they do or don't want their affiliates to bid on, it even allows them to set a maximum bid for those words. This means that affiliates and merchants can work side by side without driving up the cost and at the same time work to "block" bid on the top positions. All that's missing is a "Which PPC Engine" option as merchants don't cover all PPC systems in their bidding usually and it can be ideal to have affiliates tackle those that fall outside the merchants own coverage.

Amazon "Adsense" Advertising Network

Seems that even Amazon want a slice of the success that Google and Overture have driven through their CPC campaigns, I still remember when Overture initially luanched as Goto.com and people scoffed at the idea of people "paying" to be listed and ranked on a cost per click basis. Amazon now want a part of that business. It'll be very interesting to see whether they can make it profitable at all considering their margins, and also how it will interact with the affiliate program. Will the CPC system overwrite tracking? I can already see the future, with sites built of nothing but Amazon CPC Ads that could cost a small fortune for Amazon in terms of "look see" clicks.
