How to Install Amazon One Link – Where To Put The Code
OneLink is a script-based solution that allows you to monetize your international traffic from the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and Japan. When visitors on your web pages click on a text link to buy a product on Amazon, OneLink will redirect your international visitors to their local or nearest Amazon marketplace as this is where they have an account, can see pricing in their local currency and have reasonable, if not free shipping costs.
OneLink allows for the best user experience by creating a seamless redirect for your international visitors, allowing them the ability to complete their purchases within their local or nearest Amazon store. This leads to a better shopping experience for your customers, and better conversion rates for you.
If you’re using the Amazon One Link for affiliate marketing sales, it might be a little tricky to understand Amazon’s directions. I made a quick video showing you where to put your one link code in your WordPress Blog without adding more plugins.
Note: with this method, you will have to remember to reinstall your code everytime you update your WordPress theme.
If you have any questions or problems with it let me know.

P.S. More quick tips.

How do I know if the onelink code is working properly after adding it to the footer area?

I guess when you see sales coming in from the other countries you’re signed up for.

Hi and thanks for the nice tutorial.
I’m a french SEO and i have some troubles to install Amazon OneLink properly on my blog. I’ve followed all the steps of Amazon’s and your tutorial and didn’t managed to get it to work…
All my links are on Amazon.FR since my website is in french and i only used french affiliate links until now. Do i need to use only Amazon.COM links to get this tool to work ?

Your Amazon.FR should redirect to what every Country the user is in. You must be signed up for that countries affiliate program as well.

That video you made explains it way better than Amazon so thank you for that. I have a question however. Do I need to add a code for each country I have an account with and if so where do I place those codes? I was thinking they would go just beneath the first one but I wanted to make sure before I did it. Thanks again for your tutorial, I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Karl, Thanks for the comment and question.
To answer your question,
“Do I need to add a code for each country I have an account with and if so where do I place those codes?”
No, The Amazon One Link is the only code you will need to put in your WordPress Theme Footer. You will still new to put in your Amazon affiliate links in your blog and only the ones for your country.

This is perfect for me! I was really considering putting amazon products on my website but never really looked in how to do it. I guess the method came to me! Do you think it’s alright to have the Amazon One Link and Google Ads on your website at the same time?
Greg · November 30, 2017 at 9:49 am
Hi Rich, thanks for your comment and question about Amazon One Link.
I do not use Amazon ads and Google Ads on my sites at the same time. I would not recommend it. Although some of my youtube videos do have ads on them, and that is Google.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the helpful video. However, I want to point out a problem. When your theme updates whatever you did in the editor is gonna be lost and so is the amazon code. I would encourage you to build a child theme to do that, while that can be tricky. The easiest way is to use a plugin like insert code and do the job easily from there. Hope this helps.
Greg · November 26, 2017 at 5:22 pm
Hi Antonis, Thanks for the comment. Yes You will need to update the code when you updated your WordPress theme. I mention this in the video and in the post above.
And yes, you can also use a WordPress plugin or a child theme.
I’m showing one here and the way I do it.
I don’t want to use a plugin for this tasks as updates to WordPress, plugins, themes and other factors might mess up your amazon code without you even knowing it.
Talk to you soon.

Great post Greg! For my website, I love getting commissions from Amazon because they’re so easy to use and there’s a lot of products for different niches. I did have trouble about where to place links inside the code; thank you so much for making it clear on where to put them.
I am having trouble with using google adsense however, I haven’t been able to use them because I’m having trouble putting them in the right place inside my code. Do you think you can help me about how to set up a google adsense page? thanks!
Greg · November 26, 2017 at 6:42 am
Hi Marques, thanks for the comment and the question. I personal don’t use Google Adsense Ads on my websites. I find affiliate marketing to be a better option for me.
