What the Affiliate Link Generator does

An affiliate link is an ordinary product URL with your partner tag appended as a query parameter, which tells the merchant's tracking system that the sale came from you.

Methodology and formula

The tool parses the product URL, sets the configured parameter to your tag, and optionally adds an `ascsubtag` sub-ID for Amazon tracking.

Worked example

Inputs: URL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW, Tag: yourtag-20, Sub-ID: blog-post-july
Result: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW?tag=yourtag-20&ascsubtag=blog-post-july

Every click from the July blog post carries the sub-ID so you can measure its commission impact.

When to use this tool

Use affiliate links for product recommendations. Combine with UTM parameters for traffic-source tracking and short links for social sharing.

About the Affiliate Link Generator

A real example

A review blogger turns amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW into the same URL with ?tag=deskgear-20 appended, so every desk lamp bought from that post is credited to their Associates account.

Why precise tagging matters

A missing affiliate tag means lost commission. Standardizing the parameter name and adding a sub-ID for each placement helps you identify which content, page, or campaign drove the sale.

Parameter name examples

Amazon uses `tag`, AliExpress uses `aff_platform`, and many networks use `aff_id` or `ref`. The generator lets you set the parameter name, so it adapts to any program.

Disclosure requirements

The FTC requires clear disclosure of affiliate relationships in the US. Place a visible disclaimer near affiliate links, such as 'This post contains affiliate links' or 'We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.'

Frequently asked questions

What is the ascsubtag parameter?

Amazon's sub-ID parameter for tracking attribution across campaigns or pages inside a single Associates account.

Will tagging break the product URL?

No — Amazon ignores extra parameters and still loads the right product.

Do I need to disclose affiliate links?

Yes — the FTC requires clear disclosure on US-facing content.

Can I use this for non-Amazon affiliates?

Yes — change the parameter name to match your network (e.g. aff_id, partner).
