Google and Amazon partner up, integrate Amazon Associates into Blogger blogs

Monetizing your Blogger blog just got easier. I’m personally thrilled with the addition because I make good money as an Amazon affiliate. Not that I use Blogger that much, but it’s great that it’ll be easier for those that do.

One of my favorite blogs is CakeWrecks, and they’re on Blogger. They also just released a new book… imagine how easy it would have been to monetize the sale of their own product had there been an automatic option.

Here's what one of the sidebar widgets looks like

If you have an Amazon Associates account, just a few more clicks and you’re set to go. If you don’t have one, it only takes a few minutes to apply. Once you’re up and running, you can add products to your blog and even add side-bar widgets with things like “product of the day”.

Lots of ways to put this handy addition to work, so be sure to read the post and instructions over at BloggerBuzz.
