Amazon Extends Affiliate Web Services to UK
E-tail giant Amazon.com has expanded its Web services program to the U.K., giving its affiliates the chance to sell Amazon.com merchandise directly from their sites. The program, which began in the U.S. in July, allows merchants to download a software development kit that lets sites display Amazon.co.uk items to its visitors. With the new program, which is free, Amazon hopes it can further expand its affiliate network of 900,000 affiliates. The affiliates program pays up to 15 percent for each sale they refer to Amazon. In addition to providing basic product information, the Web services will display product reviews and sales rankings. Previously, affiliates only provided a link to the Amazon page containing a product. One popular Amazon feature not included: one-click ordering. Instead, affiliate site visitors will need to use the Amazon shopping cart. [Full story: Amazon Extends Affiliate Web Services to UK - InternetNews]
