Affiliate Marketing Tycoon

Hi All,
I'm going to be recommending some books on my site and want to know what the best affiliate for linking to individual books might be? Can anything beat Amazon?
Thanks,
Emory

In terms of content and excellent variety of ways to link to books, no I don't think anyone else can compare with amazon.com

Plus they are also widely used. I love them and I have purchased a lot of things from there. Books, videos, computer games and more.

You could also try Barnes & Noble. They are pretty well known as well but I still say amazon.com is the best.

Thanks! I did a quick comparison of Barnes & Noble and Amazon and the prices of the books I want to list are the same. Looks like the payout on Amazon is higher. I like Amazon's keyword links. If you don't want to list individual books, just link to the subject of the web page.

Yeah Amazon is one of the best book sites I have ever seen.

I would go with Amazon, simply because more people buy from them and they are seen as more 'reliable'. I don't know what its like in the USA, but here in the UK Amazon is market leader and I doubt very many people at all have heard of B&N. They just don't seem to have been successful in developing worldwide...

I would join their affiliate program except I'm too young (13).
