Amazon widgets for your blog
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
If you’re a Amazon affiliate it’s now easy to add a Amazon widget to your blog sidebar. There are several types to choose from.. In the Recommended Product widget below I specified books with the term “business blog”.
I’ve also added a banner widget with the books and the search term “travel Europe” to my travel blog. Initially I tried the self optimising widget on my travel blog. However as the most recent post was about airport parking, the links in the widget where to books about airports. Yon can choose from different sizes of widgets and play around with the colour palettes.
You have to play around a bit to see what works best for your blog but obviously the more contextual the links the more chance you have of readers of your blog clicking on the links and going on to make a purchase which will earn you commission.

I have an Amazon.com widget on my blog; looking for it to produce for me anyday now.

Yes Marcus that’s what we all want from the affiliate widgets, commission on sales. Hopefully if the widget is attractive and eyecatching showing useful, relevant products we’ll get more sales.

I agree Karen. Placing these Amazon.com widgets and AdSense blocks on blogs and/or websites require strategy which in the end equal revenue!
