Note: For AdWords campaigns, where you wish to link directly to an
Amazon product page, ONLY copy and paste the URL i.e. the portion of
the code BETWEEN " " (the double-quotes)
For example:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00… IN=B000E4BW7W
The above is the full URL you should place in the ‘Destination URL’ of your
AdWords ads.
Lastly, be sure to TEST the URL to make sure it works, BEFORE running the campaign.
To TEST a URL, simply click on your AdWords ad, or copy and paste the
URL into the address bar of your browser – and the link should lead to
your Amazon product page.
