Blogger (Powered by Google) partnered with Amazon Associate program as a way to give more ways to monetize its bloggers on Blogger.com. Now Bloggers can show Amazon products into their blog posts or within their blog sidebars quite easily without going into their Amazon Associate account and at the same time earn some money for every product sold through their affiliate ID. It will save lots of time and effort from the bloggers end to find products and placing corresponding codes into their blogs posts and sidebars. Now Amazon products are a click away from your blog and require no coding effort from your end.
With Amazon Associate program being integrated into Blogger blogs, now we can show related products into our blog posts while creating our new blog posts and also make change into our existing blog posts to include some related product widgets, links or images from Amazon as a way to make more money from our blogs that are created on Blogger platform.
To start using this monetization method, you will first need to go into your Blogger account and Click Monetize link and then click on the Amazon Associates link available in Navigation bar as shown in the image below:
If you don’t have an account with Amazon Associate program, apply for an associate account by selecting the ‘I want to create a new Associates ID’ button. And in case you already have an affiliate account with Amazon Associate program, enter your Amazon.com Associates ID into the text box available against ‘I already have an Amazon.com Associates ID‘ when we chose the second radio button. And in case you are not sure about your Amazon associate or Affiliate ID, login into your Amazon associate account to get it. It will be shown into your Associate account dashboard top left hand side as shown in the screen below:
So create an Amazon Associate account by clicking here if you don’t have an account with them by filing all required information. Once you have established your affiliate account with Amazon, its time to use their associate program into your Blogger blogs powered by Google. You will need to make ‘Add The Product Finder’ option enabled from Amazon Associates link after entering your Associate ID as shown in screen below:
Once ‘Add The Product Finder’ option is enables, we can add links, images, links + images into our blog posts while drafting our new posts and can even edit our existing posts to include some targeted products as a way to make more money from our blogs. The product Finder widget is available into our post body sidebar when we create new posts or make changes to the existing posts as shown in the screen below:
Apart from Amazon products into our blog posts, we can also show some dynamic widgets into our blog sidebars like Hottest deals from Amazon, Amazon guest games, Amazon MP3 Clips, Amazon Search widget, Amazon’s deal of the day etc.
And how much money we can make by applying various Amazon widgets, links and images on our blog? Well, we can earn up to 15% as referral fee for each product sold from our blog. Click here to know more ways to make money online with free blogger blogs.

extremely good right up! I had to search every where but you hit it on the nose and if I have any other question I am sure I will contact you!
Good information. But a couple of thoughts on this. There seemed to be a backlash from Google in cleaning up their Blogger system for a couple of years now. Do you think they went too far and are now enticing people back to use blogger to generate more revenue like being able to use Amazon?
I also wonder based on their recent media release of how much they actually pay out for Google Adsense, since that was like a closely guarded fox knox secret for years. It seems there are other things going on. I suspect it may have something to do with their competition. Anyways, I have blogger accounts like many, but not focusing on using them alot.
Yeah, I was really surprised when they make Google Adsense revenue sharing public few days back. Looks to be more transparent now
