- Bloggerkit provides an easy way to insert Amazon ads into blog posts (already not that hard with various plugins out there, and I’m not sure how many more third party javascript copy/paste programs bloggers will be interested in). The price? Bloggerkit shaves 15% of the code displaying their Amazon affiliate ID, with 85% for your ID. After adding the code to your blog, just insert the keywords. An example is shown below for blog-related terms.

bk_keywords: blog, blogging
They suggest coloring the keywords white so they won’t be seen, but that’s frowned upon by the search engines. Better off just leaving it show, if you want, or perhaps better yet just use one of the many Amazon plugins out there where you will receive 100% of the Amazon ID showing.

Note: this isn’t the same thing as an 85/15% revenue split. It’s purely based on script views, so that means you could have a really popular page where 100% of the revenue went to bloggerkit’s Amazon ID (people bought during the 15% time displayed) and 0% went to your code if the purchases were made during the Bloggerkit displays. The converse is true as well. Something worth keeping in mind, especially because it’s difficult to audit this type of affiliate arrangement unless you periodically run tests checking the generated code. It would have been nice if they would have provided a layer of stats to backup 85/15 display ratio rather than say: “Amazon provides all the tracking record you need.”
