I am an Amazon Associate, which means that have an account with Amazon that allows me to put links from my webpages and blogs to Amazon and get paid a commision (very small commision - about 4%) is someone buy the product I am linking to. Ussually I use it on my children's books blog to link to products I am reviewing or quoting from or otherwise mentioning in some fashion. For example I have a list of the Newberry Award Winners from 1986 to the present as a blog post and link to each of the books on Amazon. I have a notice of the new Harry Potter book that you can preorder from Amazon and thus have a link to it.
Amazon has come out with a new product for us associates to try out - context links. The way it is supposed to work is that I embed some html code in my blogpost, and Amazon will automatically add links from the text of the blog to something relevant that you can buy on Amazon. Consider this post a test. Except for the link to the MadLuck Books Blog above, the rest of the links in this post were created automatically by Amazon. (If there are any???)
Edit - so far no links apparent let me go back to the drawing board...
Edit2 - I've added the script to the template as well (which should add links to the whole page maybe? - might be a problem with this "new blogger") Also may take time for links to show up so I will be patient...
