Amazon Product Previews

What makes an online affiliate successful, is it placing links in a certain place, the type of links used, or traffic? The answer can be one, or any combination of these elements, so it's always a good idea to test and utilize all tools available. The latest tool from Amazon Associates is one that can potentially increase your earning potential.

When a visitor hovers over an enhanced text or image link for 400ms, a small window will appear next to that link. That window is the Product Preview. When a user's mouse is within the window, the window will remain visible. When they move their mouse outside of the window, the window will disappear. If a user clicks on the window, the window will remain visible until the user clicks the window's "Close" button. Users can also click and drag on the top border of the window to move it around your web page. Please note that the 400ms delay is a common period for triggering user-activated events on web pages, and is the same timing we use on our retail site for similar features.

Typically my pages are on the heavy side, so I'll use this method sparingly. However, it's never bad idea having more tools in your toolshed.
