Amazon referals - am I doing this right?

Recently became a part of the Amazon affiliate program. Unfortunately, their link generating program gives you links for websites rather than forums, so I had to learn how to do forum links myself.

So here's an example of a link to the complete "Legend of the Seeker" series with my tracking id tacked on:

Amazon link if you want to buy the movie

Does this work? If someone followed this link and bought the product, would it be credited to my affiliate account?

Not being a Amazon seller or affiliate seller, I can't help you. Hopefully some other FF members can.

Sorry buddy doesn't work. It just leads to a page where you can buy a movie. There is nothing there about amazons at all. :lol2:

In case anyone is curious, I was doing it wrong. Here's a proper link for a comic book:



The key is the "?tag=evibab-20" or ?tag=youramazonaffiliateid-20 at the end of the url, whether full or shortened.
