Thank you to all those who entered our aStore competition which ran from 1 October 2006 to 31 December 2006! We received hundreds of entries and choosing the winners wasn't an easy task. We chose the three aStores based on their design, the integration of aStore functionality and creativity. They are successful examples of how simply an aStore can be incorporated into the look and feel of an Associate’s website.

As an Amazon.co.uk Associate you can build up to 100 different aStores in our Associate Central – with no programming required.
Still not an Amazon.co.uk Associate? Find
out here how you can earn money with your website at Amazon.co.uk.
Do you want to monitor the success of your various links to Amazon.co.uk quickly and simply? Then take advantage of a great feature for Amazon.co.uk Associates and create tracking IDs for your campaigns and aStores.
With tracking IDs you can analyse the performance of various websites, link placements or advertising strategies and at the same time accumulate referral fees under a single Associate ID. Any tracking ID created in your Associate account will be assigned to your Associate ID.
Example:
An Amazon.co.uk Associate with the Associate ID “your-assoc-id-21” can analyse two different aStores by creating additional tracking IDs using “your-assoc-id1-21” and “your-assoc-id2-21” and can analyse the performance of individual title links that contain this tracking ID using “your-assoc-id3-21”. All tracking IDs generate referral fees for the Associate account “your-assoc-id-21”.
As an Amazon.co.uk Associate you can display the clicks, orders or referral fees for all tracking IDs together in the Associate Central reports or filter the reports according to individual tracking IDs. The tracking ID summary report is particularly useful as it displays the results for all tracking IDs in the form of a summary.
It couldn’t be simpler to create new tracking IDs:

Have you already set up one or more aStores and want to improve their performance? A few of our aStore partners had a great idea that we just had to share. Why not display the “powered by Amazon.co.uk” logo in a prominent position within your aStore to increase the confidence that visitors to your website have in your shopping service.
Here is an example of how this could look:
As a result your potential customers can be sure that you fulfil important buying criteria - secure payment, attractive prices and fast delivery. It is not without reason that Amazon.co.uk is one of the top online retailers in the United Kingdom.
It is just that easy:
1) Upload an image (logo + powered by Amazon.co.uk) onto your own server.
Example:
2) When creating your aStore, specify the URL of your image in the “Configure Store Header” field under the “Color and Design” menu.
Example:
http://associates.amazon.co.uk/gp/associates/network/store/color-design.html
The image should not be more than 200 pixels wide and 75 pixels high. The logo will appear on the left next to the shop name on the title page and on each individual page in your shop.
