Amazon Affiliate Linker Wordpress Plugin

The Amazon Affiliate Linker Plugin allows easy linking to Amazon.com products by only using the ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number). It also allows you to embed your Amazon Associate link so that you can pick up affiliate commissions on your links.

Once downloaded and activated, the plugin needs to be configured by going to Settings -> Amazon Affiliate Linker menu item. In this page you can set your Amazon Affiliate ID and whether you want the link to be no-followed or to onen in a new window.

To embed an Amazon link with the plugin, the text for the link needs to be embedded in the following tags:
Test ASIN Link
This will link to Amazon.com with a product ASIN of 12345678. At present, the asin tag needs to be lower case.

For example, if I wanted to link to ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income, I would get the ASIN for it’s from Amazon.com URL:

Problogger Secrets Link

I would then embed the ASIN into into a post like this:
Problogger Secrets Plugin Link
Which would produce a link like this:

Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income

The attributes for the link are configured in the plugin administration and has my Amazon Affiliate ID embedded into it.

I have tested the link generation and there seem to be no problems with clicks being registered in the Amazon Associates stats report and I have tested the generated links in the Amazon Associate Link Checker.
