You can already add Google’s Adsense to your blogger account, now you can add Amazon products as well.
If you’ve already got a well trafficked blog powered b y Blogger/Blogspot, this gives you a new way to monetize it with the vast Amazon product base and generate revenue. I’m sure there are many personal Amazon blogs that are talking quite a bit about products they love, so this is a good fit. It will create lots of pages that talk about products in the Amazon portfolio with reviews and information that never make it to the actual site allowing Amazon to take advantage of the social web (i.e. blogs) more to market their wares. I’m sure Google will get a nice slice too in addition to the benefit of enriching their own index of unique content.
Here’s the announcement:
Dear Associate,
Today we are excited to announce Amazon Associates for Blogger, a direct integration between Amazon Associates and Blogger. This new collaboration enables Bloggers to monetize their content by adding relevant Amazon products to their blog posts without interrupting the blog editing process. Amazon Associates for Blogger is available now available here on Associates Central. Amazon Associates who don’t have a Google Blogger account can set up a free Blogger account with their Associates ID and start earning right away.
The new tool allows Bloggers to add links and images to their blog posts in just 2 easy steps:
1.Bloggers highlight the relevant text and the Amazon Product Finder will search Amazon’s millions of products and recommend the ones that are most closely associated with the text
2.Bloggers can then insert a link or image to that product which includes their Associates ID, enabling them to earn up to 15% in referral fees from Amazon
Bloggers will also be able to show dynamic content in their blog sidebar using a new set of integrated Sidebar gadgets, such as gadgets for MP3 clips from the Amazon DRM-free music store, an Amazon Deals gadget, and an Amazon Search box.
Also as part of this new integration, Bloggers who don’t have a free Amazon Associates account can create one directly within Blogger so tell your friends that use Blogger how they can start earning with Amazon Associates today.
