I plan on selling products through the Amazon affiliate program. What I know I can track is:
-what products people view on my website (default Google Analytics pageview behaviour).
-what affiliate links people click on my website (with GA _trackEvent).

What am I missing is:
-what products people end up buying after clicking on the affiliate links.

Does the Amazon affiliate program offers you any mechanism for linking a purchase with some data from your website?

I noticed that I was able to add custom parameters and values to my affiliate links and the link checker was still happy with them, if Amazon gave the links that initiated an order then I would be able to cross reference the orders using custom parameters...

This is directly from Amazon Associates, the short answer is no you cannot track Amazon sales as conversions in Google Analytics.


The Amazon Associates reports will only reflect clicks that result in
a session being created. This means the customer must click though
your Associates link and the Amazon.com site must load.

Many third party tracking methods will use impression tracking to
count clicks. These reports will provide a higher number of clicks
that would not represent a site visitor going to the Amazon.com site.

Unfortunately, we do not have a way of integrating Amazon Associate
sales into Google's Analytic tracking. However, I did want to thank
you for taking the time to share your thoughts and suggestions with
us. I have passed your feedback and suggestions along to the
appropriate department for consideration.

Please feel free to continue to send us your feedback and suggestions
because this kind of feedback is invaluable to us. It helps us
continue to improve our program.
