I was wondering if there was a way to add a way when someone searches they can click on a section on the topic to search on Amazon.com with an affiliate code present in the code.
Thanks,

You can do the following:
Open site_html.pl . Under global definitions put this line:
$search_keywords= @search_terms;
Then wherever you prefer in the sub site_html_search_results you can put the search code for amazon.com like this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search?mode=books&keyword=@search_terms&tag=YourAfiliateCodeHere
It works fine for me. Click the link below and see the results.

Hope that helps

Hi,
How would I get this to work for templates in v2b5? How are results displayed on links as opposed to the queried sited? I would love to get this to work...
Thanks in advance,
elms

To add amazon search results, add the following code to the search_results.html template where you would like it to be displayed.
<A href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search?mode=books&keyword=<%term%>&tag=AFFILIATE ID" target="_blank"><%term%><FONT size="2" face="Verdana">
</FONT></A>
To see a working example, go to:
<A HREF="http://www.web-source.net/cgi-bin/links/search.cgi?query=autoresponders">http://www.web-source.net/cgi-bin/links/search.cgi?query=a utoresponders</A>
It isn't completely set up yet but you'll get an idea of what it will look like.

I actually have it working that way. The question I have was instead of having the results showing on amazon.com's site is there a way to show it on links v2b5. I do not think that there is a mod for amazon.com as there is on altavista.
Thanks again,

The way you guys explained it didn't work for me (maybe because I'm using Links2.0b5). But anyways, I use the site_html.pl to edit my stuff, and the code I use is as follows:
For CD's or videos all you have to do is chancge the "mode" to "music" (for cd's, no quotes) and to "video" (for videos, no quotes).
Regards,
Brian

I am not sure if that is already what you guys are trying to achieve but I thought I should mention:
If a surfers arrives at Amazon's site through a url that directly points to a particular book then you will earn 15% commission but if you site links to a general sort of area then you only get 5%. Is there a MOD for Links 2 to do this?

</small></p>
Are you going to use templates or site_html.pl?
If you keep on switching between the two you are going to get confused with everyone helping you in different methods of setting up links. It is best to decide and stick with just one.
Just an advice,
