What Is the Amazon Tracking ID?
The Amazon tracking ID is used to create affiliate links and give you credit for the sale, so you get paid.
When you have an Amazon Associates account, you'll be given an initial tracking ID. The tracking ID is typically in the format of trackingid-XX, where XX represents a numerical value such as -20 or -21. Example: trackingid-20.
This tracking ID will appear in all of your Amazon links. You can verify it's there when you see ?tag={your_tracking_id} in your Amazon links.
For example, you can see the tracking ID lassotest-20 in this link:

Where to Find the Amazon Tracking ID
Your tracking ID is added to all of your Amazon URLs, so Amazon knows to give your account credit for any readers who go to their site.
You can find your tracking ID in the top right corner of your Amazon Associates account.
If you've created multiple tracking IDs, you can find your tracking ID list by clicking the dropdown beside your email address in the top right corner.
Then, choose Manage Your Tracking IDs, and you'll see your IDs toward the bottom of the page.
