As title says, does anyone use the amazon astore and if so what success rate do you have with it.

I have one running on my sat nav and comedy dvds sites.

Neither of these are sites I have had time to promote heavily, but the Astores have made some sales even with low traffic.

The issue for me is that it's difficult to SEO a standalone Astore, so I'm using a link from the home page, not ideal for conversion. In terms of the Astore interface itself, I think that will convert well (though don't have enough traffic to fully test), but to get traffic to it in the first place is more difficult.

Personally I can't really see these topping the SERPS without some major plugging

In G's eyes it offers nothing of value - they are nice little sites, but with same photos, descriptions and titles as Amazon themselves, I just can't see how G will not see these as just a duplicate of the Amazon site - I.e no value to the visitor

If you can promote these and get traffic from outside the search engines, I would think they have been built for conversions so you may do quite well

I guess you could learn the Amazon API then. Something I've been meaning to look at, but never get around to.
