Amazon Associates now integrated with Blogger

As of today, if your blog is hosted on Blogger.com, you can easily add affiliate links to all of your posts.
With this integration, you will be able to link relevant text to products sold on Amazon directly within Blogger, while crafting your posts. No need to open a separate tab to hunt around for products.
To add links to your site:
1) Open an Amazon Associates and Blogger account, if you don’t already have one. If you already have a Blogger account but not an Associates account, you can create your Associates account directly within Blogger (so create your Blogger account first)
2) You will need to create a gadget associated with your account. Blogger provides simple steps for doing so.
(click images for more detail)
2) Once the gadget is created, your post area will now look like this:
Write your post as you normally would, including any text regarding a product.
3) Highlight the relevant text and the Product Finder will recommend the ones most closely associated with the text.
4) Choose to either insert the product link or an image of the product. The link will automatically include your Associate number.
Amazon wants to hear what you think about this, so they’ve created a hashtag (#AMZN4BLGR) to use on Twitter. Or you may contact them via the contact form.
