Tracking Amazon.com Affiliate Performance for Multiple Sites

November 15th, 2006 by Jason

If you run Amazon.com affiliate links on multiple sites, some of you are probably using a single Associates ID across your sites. This only allows you to see a combined view of your affiliate activity in the reports.

To track the performance of each site, you’ll need a unique Tracking ID per site. There’s no need to create multiple Associate accounts. Multiple Tracking IDs can be added from within your single Associate account.

To create a new Tracking ID, log on to your Amazon.com Associates Central account, go to “Your Account“, click on “Manage your Tracking ID“, and add your tracking ID there. (Previously the add Tracking ID request process was less up-front; I remember having to send an add Tracking ID e-mail request to Customer Service.)

At time of writing, there is a limit of 100 tracking IDs per Associate account. I guess 100 should be sufficient for most people.
