One way is to take a screenshot of their page in your web browser (alt + Prnt Scrn) and then crop it to suit and compress using a program like irfan view: http://www.irfanview.com/ (free), you can then include that image and link it up as normal.

...or an even easier way would be to find out if someone like Amazon/Alexa already has a preview pic., go here:

http://www.alexa.com/ and enter the url you want into the search box, if the results turn up a suitable image, right click, save as and you're good to go.

If you have lots of sites to link this way, then there may be plugins out there that pull data from the Amazon/Alexa API to show a preview of that page (will only work for sites that Amazon have crawled)... I haven't seen any specific ones though, if you know any programmers they might be able to put something together for you ;)
