I have long promoted Amazon as an Amazon Associate. I’ve cashed in many a gift certificate with my earnings over the years. A book here, a gadget there. Nothing big or exciting really. I would have promoted Amazon products more if it had only been easier to grab a link on the fly.
(Edited to add: I just got another email from Amazon Associates. They’ve discontinued the gift certificate payout option – just want to let you know in case you look for it.)
Those of you who have been promoting Amazon links know what I’m talking about. The process of grabbing an affiliate link was long and gangly.

The fresh revamp of the Amazon Associates website and the introduction of the new Site Stripe feature is just the sort of easy access I’ve been looking for.
Now you can quickly grab a link to a specific product or page. You can also add a specific product to your aStore.
I’m a happy affiliate :) I’ll be promoting more books, gadgets and home products, thus monetizing more of my content.

Kelly,
Wow that is great news. Thank you so much for sharing that. I had no idea they had revamped it. Like you said now it will be much easier to be an affiliate and promote more of their products.
When I received my Amazon Associates email this morning, I did the happy dance! It’s been such a struggle to make money as an Amazon Associate – this new feature will help tremendously! It’s been a long awaited change!!
