To maximize your earnings through the Amazon Affiliate Program, you need to know which of your links are doing well and which are not. Amazon provides several types of reports to help you analyze link performance, but there is no way to see traffic sources or IP addresses. Instead, you make use of Amazon tracking IDs. When you use a different tracking ID for each store, blog or website, you can monitor the sales on each site separately.
Instructions
1. Log into the Amazon Affiliate Program website. Once you are logged in, you will see your Earnings Summary and Orders Summary areas on the far right of the main page.
2. Hover the mouse pointer over "Reports" on the menu bar at the top of the page. A list will appear displaying links to the "Earnings Report," "Orders Report," "Link-Type Report," "Daily Trends" and other options.
3. Click "Tracking ID Summary Report." Amazon will display a summary of clicks, orders, earnings and other information for all your Amazon Affiliate tracking IDs. Click "Pre-selected Period" to see daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly reports, or click "Exact Period" to specify a different range of dates.
4. Click "Earnings Report" on the "Reports" menu to view a summary of your earnings from all your Amazon Affiliate Program tracking IDs. To view earnings from a specific tracking ID only, uncheck "Combined reports," click the drop-down list on the left under "Tracking ID," select the tracking ID from the list and click the yellow "Display on page" button.
5. Click "Orders Report" to view all items ordered but not yet shipped. These will not reflect in your earnings until they are shipped.
6. Click "Link-Type Report" to view details on the different types of affiliate links and how they are performing. You can view results for Amazon Store, text links, product links, widgets and other types of links. As with the "Tracking ID Summary Report," you can select a predefined range of dates or customize your own.
