Thanks Connie. I’ll look at making that optional in a future version.

This is an awesome plugin! Love love love it! I only wish I could have an option that when the product isn’t found, it won’t default to a similar products page, but will stay on the original link. I’m a writer and occasionally my books are offered in amazon in some countries like the UK and not in others, like the US even though readers can order from across the pound if they want to. But the links going to similar product pages keep them from getting to order from a different Amazon store.

Still, great plugin for that time when my books are available everywhere.

I LOVE this plugin. I have it on many sites. But I would also love for it to have a way to hide the affiliate link itself. Like have it look like yoursite.com/whateveryouwant. Is that possible on an update?

Hi, yes it will work fine in that circumstance.

Hi
Can you tell me how this works in relation to existing affiliate links?

I already have amazon.com affiliate links on my site, complete with my amazon.com affiliate id. Will this plugin re-direct, e.g. a Canadian visitor to amazon.ca and a Uk visitor to amazon.co.uk or does it only work on plain, unaffilliated amazon links?

thanks

After talking to Pete about this, and thinking it was not working after running some tests, it turns out Amazon.ca and Amazon.co.uk are reporting clicks coming from my sites, so it seems the plugin is in fact working fine for real visitors.

So, guys, don’t just rely on using web proxies to change your IPs in order to test whether the plugin works, the best thing to do IMO is to install and configure it, and wait for real data from Amazon.

Thanks a lot for this great plugin, Pete!

Hi Phil, no I’ve not heard any reason why this would be frowned upon. As far as I can see, it’s not in breech of the terms and conditions, and I don’t know of anyone having had a telling off/banning for it.

hey pete.

i recently got word that amazon has banned some affiliate accounts because of their link cloaking practices, and was basically told to not cloak any amazon afflinks.

is your plugin something that amazon frowns upon? i hope not.

can you just clarify this, as i would like to continue to use it without worrying about my amazon account getting banned…

cheers.
