Amazon: Creating Affiliate Links Manually Quickly

To create affiliate links manually, you need to know the extension assigned to you. You can find this after successfully setting up your affiliate account at partnernet.amazon.com and it will always remain the same. If the ending is known, the format looks like this:

• An affiliate link results from the original URL to which your individual ending is appended, i.e.: https://www.amazon.de/Sony-KD-55X7055-Fernseher-Dynamic-Schwarz/dp/B0845KBDYS/?tag=IhreID
• It is important that after the product URL there is a "/" followed by "?tag=" - this structure is universal, just like your own identifier or ID, which is always the same.
• Theoretically, you can thus copy & paste the suffix "/?tag=yourID" to quite a few product URLs to create affiliate links to many different articles.

But keep in mind that this manual approach is only one of many possibilities. This one gives you full control, but is not necessarily the fastest solution. For example, there is the SiteStrip plugin for the browser that allows you to create affiliate links with just one click. You can choose between text links, image links and a combination of both.In the backend of the PartnerNet account you also have other options. It's worth taking a look at all the options and also trying them out to better understand and get to know the different methods.
