Hi Friends,
Amazon India has officially launched its affiliate program.. Amazon Associates is an affiliate program for website marketers and online publishers to monetize their content by advertising contextually relevant products and referring visitors to Amazon.in.
For an introductory period, it will payout commission rates of 5% on consumer electronics and 10% on all other products, which includes Kindle devices. The program will also allow associates to earn commission on all products that visitors buy following the links on associate sites and not just for the specific products that were promoted on marketer’s website. Amazon claims that it offers 17 million books, more than 10,000 DVDs & audio CDs, consumer electronics, and Kindle devices to carry out a contextual ad on their website.
Publishers can promote products on their site by adding “tag=[your-tag-id]” to the URL of that page e.g. http://www.amazon.in/Nokia-Lumia-520-Black/dp/B00CE2LO8Y?tag=[your-tag-id]. This allows publishers to include banner links, product links, and link to any page. Amazon also provides widgets for your picks, search, contexual, flash, among others that one can just embed to their site. Amazon notes that it pays out to marketers through Cheque. Users need to fill out home address, PAN card details, and minimum payout to receive the payment.
Earlier this month, online shopping marketplace, Flipkart hiked affiliate payout fees to marketers on all categories that it offers, in competition with Amazon, and probably in anticipation of the launch of Amazon Associates. Flipkart is offering 10% payout on books as opposed to 6% that it offered previously, and has increased the affiliate payout up to 10% on all of the categories that it is currently offering on its marketplace. Flipkart affiliate pays out to marketers via gift card or EFT.
Infibeam also offers 5% affiliate payout fees on books, 10% on eBooks, 5% on lifestyle products, 1% on gold & silver coins, among others. Snapdeal also had its referral program (Rs 100 per user referral, so apparently only for new customer acquisition, rather than affiliate sales), but it apparently faced some issues last year with misuse from some of its affiliate
