It’s pretty cool. Amazon Associates is Amazon’s affiliates system where sites link to Amazon products and banners with a special id in the url which gives the Associate a share of the profits from the sale of the linked products. With Product Previews, links to Amazon can now have rich popups when the links are moused over. The popups contain a product image, a buy now button, review information, etc. Note: you can move the preview window around. Doing that will ‘pin’ it to the page until you hit close.

I’ve been experimenting with the Amazon enhanced ads lately and have received primarily positive feedback. I think the big difference with the Amazon rollover ads is that they contribute to the surfer experience where most autoplay audio/video ads and Flash flyover ads are seen as disruptive.

However, I gotta admit that if you hadn't suggested that we mouseover the graphics or links, I'd likely have ignored them. It'd be helpful if there was some sort of flyout-indication on the graphics; I bet that'd *dramatically* increase the value of this stuff!
