I asked amazon, they are telling we cant use either bestazon or easyazon for link localization…i am confused can u explain it. atleast try to mail me…
Hello Balaji,
BestAzon does not have any official relationship with Amazon, and Amazon does not explicitly endorse BestAzon – thus the reply you received is not surprising.
Having said that, tens of thousands of websites currently use BestAzon – so far, we have not heard of anyone getting in trouble with Amazon over this. At BestAzon, we have taken painstaking precautions to steer clear of any iffy practices and to the best of our knowledge, BestAzon does not break any Amazon Associates ToS.
In the end though, its webmaster’s responsibility to ensure adherence to Amazon ToS. BestAzon does not provide any guarantee/warranty with regards to how Amazon may chose to interpret the usage of this tool.
Hope that helps,

My site is in starter state,, i am using bestazon wordpress plugin and i receive 30 to 45 click in a week but no conversions so far… I am curious to know that “does this happens to all affiliates”?? if you do believe your answer will add value to my question then your suggestions are awaited…
It depends on the quality of your clicks. If you have targeted visitors who will likely be interested in buying from Amazon, you should see conversions soon enough..
Typical conversion rates for Amazon US are in the range of 3% – 10%, again based on quality of your clicks. With 30-45 clicks in a week, you should wait for 3-4 weeks before looking at conversions.
There is no support amazon Australia associates
There is now! 🙂
I setup my Amazon affiliate links of different countries on bestazon WordPress plugin and then I pasted an US Amazon link on a blog. I wanted to verify it from a friend at UK. When she clicked, it didn’t redirect her to Amazon’s UK site but instead showed as shipping from US store. This doesn’t help right?
Hi there.. can you share your url with us so that we can test the link and solve it for you?
