You mean use a .png extension as the url, and then redirect to your aff url ? yes, it is possible, you need to edit your htacess file to read .png extensions as .php, create a dummy .png file (which will actually be treated as .php), and put the redirection code in it.
When i read my question now, i see that i forgot to add this: Is it allowed by Amazon?
This a site i want to last for a long long time.
Basically what i want is to create my own buttons and put an affiliate link on it. But through the Amazon Associate "tools" this doesn't seems to be possible and therefore i was curious about if it's even allowed at all.

Why don't you use HTML tag?
Just google "html image link tag" or upload a button to your site and if it is wordpress, you will find redirector in picture's settings.

Because i don't need the HTML links, i need the links to be on my custom .png buttons.
Thanks man.

Typical amazon url will be like this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074W7IFC/tag=YOUR_ASSOCIATE_TAG
You can use this url as part of your button or image.

Thanks man.- But is allowed? I just don't understand why they don't provide you with a naked URL then.
