Taking the UGLY out of default Amazon Affiliate Links

I’ve always hated the default affiliate links generated by amazon. After many a sleepless hours of research I was pleased to stumble apon an article written by Lynn Terry that perfectly addressed the issue for me.

Lynn does an excellent job breaking down the basics of what is contained inside a default generated affiliate site and what needs to be done to create your own custom links! Her article can be found at HTML Tips: Anatomy of an Affiliate Link.

Taking it one step further I have created a C# application to streamline the process. All one has to do is paste the default generated affiliate code at the top, input a file name and directory if it is known, and hit generate to instantly create the HTML code to paste directly into your website!

I’m still adding features for my own use but I will probably post a link to the application for download in the future.
