What are linkId, camp and creative in an Amazon link?

What each parameter records

tag= is the one that matters commercially: it is the Associates tracking ID of whoever published the link, usually ending in a number such as -20. linkCode= names the kind of link the affiliate generated, and linkId= identifies that particular generated link.

Older links add camp= and creative=, numeric codes for the campaign and the ad format, and creativeASIN=, which repeats the product's ASIN.

What it means for the person you send it to

An affiliate link is not harmful. It does mean that if the recipient buys something, a third party is paid a commission, and Amazon records which publisher's link led there. Forwarding one passes that attribution on. Cleaning the link sends the product and nothing else.

How LinkClean removes it

Default-on, scoped to Amazon's storefront domains. creative, camp and linkId are ordinary names on other sites and are left alone there. th= and psc=, which select the variant, are kept. AdGuard's filter, Brave and Firefox strip linkId on Amazon; ClearURLs and Firefox strip creative and creativeASIN.

If you want the affiliate to be credited, switch tag off in the parameter list or share the original link.

Frequently asked

Is linkId personal to me?

No. It identifies a link an affiliate generated, not the person clicking it.

Which parameter is the affiliate ID?

tag=. It is the Associates tracking ID, and it is the one that decides who earns a commission.

Does the product page work without them?

Yes. The ASIN in the path addresses the product.
