Hi All;
Are you an Amazon Associate? If your answer is yes, have you ever tried to submit an Amazon affiliate link to bitly or any other link shortening interface
and had trouble shortening that massive link? Well I have and I wondered what to do. What I did was contact Amazon and ask them how I could resolve
this issue. They showed me how to take that long link shown below....

And turn that into this.........
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CKG9UO/?tag=hotmpo-10
Doesn't that look better, nice and short and sweet.
This is the format for constructing this text link.....
http://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN/?tag=your_Associates_ID
You replace "ASIN" with 10 digits which represent the ISBN or ASIN of the product page of the item you want to promote.
In our example that would be these numbers B004CKG9UO.
Then replace "your_Associates_ID" with your Amazon Associates ID.
In our example that would be "hotmpo-10"
Giving us the finished link.....
"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CKG9UO/?tag=hotmpo-10"
Hope you found this little tutorial to be of help.
All The Best!
