Overview
The short-lived integration between Blogger together with Amazon.com, back inward 2009-2010-ish, way at that location are a set out of ways to link your weblog together with Amazon - together with the tools that Amazon provides way that at that location are a wide achieve of products you tin larn exhibit together with functions your tin larn homecoming to your readers.You powerfulness exercise this simply to laid upwardly your weblog human face to a greater extent than interesting, or to laid upwardly money past beingness an Amazon Associate together with recommending their products to your readers.
Basically, thence far inward Blogger's life at that location receive got been four options for putting a link to Amazon inside your blog:
- Use i of the Amazon widgets works in Blogger's gadget menu.
- Use the Amazon Product Finder that was available when you're using the Post Editor in Blogger - but this is alone available if you've added it previously - you tin larn no longer add together together this to your blog, since Blogger / Amazon integration has ended.
- Log inward to the appropriate Amazon site, abide by the production that you wish to link to, together with pick out "Link to this page", from the site-stripe at the exceed of the page.
- Log on to the appropriate Amazon site's Associates page, together with usage either the Links & Banner, or Widgets tabs.
Options 1 soundless industrial constitute - but you receive got no way of linking the gadget to your Amazon Associates ID. It lets you put:
- Amazon gadgets into whatever identify that you tin larn laid a regular Blogger gadget (header, footer, sidebar, etc),
- Links to individual products from Amazon inside Posts or Pages.
Option 2 is no longer available.
Options iii together with 4:
- Can concord out used with any Amazon site (ie Amazon.com
, Amazon.co.uk
, Amazon.ca
, etc), no thing what you did with Amazon previously.
- Let you laid the code into your blog inward the same way that you install whatever 3rd political political party HTML into your blog.
- Give you the full code for their widgets (ie gadgets), thence you tin larn put these gagdets into posts. This is different gadget/widgets that you teach from Blogger, which cannot concord out laid into posts - at the 2nd anyway.
- Can also concord out used if you wish to laid Amazon links inside other types of weblog or website that allow you to install your receive HTML/Javascript.
Further details for each of the options are listed below.
Option 1 - adding an Amazon gadget inward Blogger
- Go to Design > Page Elements > Add a Gadget.
- Choose i of the Amazon gadgets from the list. (use the search item at the exceed of the listing of gadgets to simply teach Amazon ones).
- When you receive got configured the gadget (eg entered a title), press Save.
- Then drag-and-drop the new gadget to where you wish it to appear.
I strongly recommend alone selecting gadgets that nation "By Amazon.com" underneath their description (because I simply don't trust 3rd political political party gadgets).
Also, concord out careful that the gadget(s) you pick out don't conflict with whatever other tools that you receive got - for example, inward you are using a Google Custom Search, i of the cost together with atmospheric status is that Google is the alone search provider on your site, together with this may think that you should non usage Amazon's search gadget.
Option 2 - using the Amazon Product Finder
This alternative is no longer available, because Amazon / Blogger integration is over.Option 3: Using Amazon's Link to this Page
This gives you a existent quick way to teach the HTML you take away to laid a product-link into your blog, which you tin larn then put into your weblog inward the green way.It's particularly useful because it lets you link non alone to a product, but also to other pages, for example, together with upwards to engagement listing of Amazon sellers who are currently providing a particular production - Example of a link to used copes of HTML Dog's XHTML / CSS guide
See Amazon's article explaining the site stripe for to a greater extent than information close this.
Also, if you usage widgets, remember that it's tardily to change the tracking-code that they are associated with, without having to re-generate the widget.
Option 4: Using Amazon's receive code builder
If you teach to the Affiliates page on the Amazon that you receive got signed upwards for, at that location are a set out of ways (top menu, sidebar) to teach into their code building tools.These tools are fairly intuitive to use: choose the options you want, imitate the code, and install it into your blog.
