This is how Amazon.com made me grab referral links last time I used the service:
| 1) Open my bookmarks |  |
| 2) Find my amazon associate’s link |  |
| 3) Search for the book |  |
| 4) Click |  |
| 5) Switch the link type to Text |  |
| 6) Finally, snag the link |  |
I never did understand why my Amazon.com consumer and Amazon.com Associate accounts were treated as discrete. These were two accounts with the same (notoriously smart) company and they never talked. It was like Camp Bezos viewed me as a schizophrenic.
I’m delighted to find something has changed. Logged in associates now have an Associate Toolbar at the top of product pages. So, today I got an associate link in a single click.
Making it 600% easier for your customers to become your sales force: smart.
