What Are Relevant Books™?

Relevant Books are a selection of relevant books, part selected by the web site owner, and part selected automatically by Amazon. Each entry links to a review of the book at our best guess of the Amazon closest to you.

If you have a web site, you can easily add Relevant Books to your website for free and start or increase your potential affiliate earnings from Amazon. Instead of static book images which never change, you get an optimized selection linked automatically to our best guess of the Amazon store the visitor might buy from.

You can sign up as an Amazon affiliate on the Amazon.com main page. If you want to earn money from all the different Amazons, you can also sign up at Amazon.co.uk (UK), Amazon.ca (Canda), Amazon.fr (France - in French), Amazon.de (Germany -in German), Amazon.co.jp (Japan - in Japanese).

Each time a page is displayed, Relevant Books chooses a selection of relevant books to be displayed, each linked to Amazon using your affiliate Id. The book covers are not just linked to Amazon.com, but are linked to our best guess of which Amazon the visitor is most likely to buy from. If a user clicks on a book and then purchases it (or another book) from Amazon, your Amazon associate account is credited.

It cost nothing to use Relevant Books or become an Amazon associate. Althought it probably won't make you a dot com millionaire, it may help pay for your website.

If you are already an Amazon associate, you probably link to specific Amazon pages using ISBN numbers, and you probably always display the same selection of books. After a while, regular visitors will have seen them all.

With Relevant Books:

• Your visitors see a greater selection of relevant books — including books you may not have thought of — and are therefore more likely to find something of interest and buy.
• International visitors are more likely to buy from you. Why? Because they will probably purchase from a different Amazon to the one you normally link to. With Relevant Books you can specify Amazon associate ids for Amazons in the USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. We dynamically link the user to the Amazon that we figure is most likely to make the sale.
• There is no direct cost to you. Instead, to pay for development and support we insert our own associate id 10% of the time (or when you do not supply an associate id for the Amazon we link to). We reckon that you'll boost your sales over static linking by at least 10%, so this doesn't cost you anything.
• It's easy to use. It shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to add attractive Relevant Books ads with your Amazon affiliate id to any web site.
• There's no risk. Try it. Stick with it if it works for your website; stop using it (and tell us) if for some reason it doesn't.
