    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone has used the associate-o-matic on amazon associates to create websites? I'm only asking because actually by searching for an ISBN of a book I found a site and then only realised later that they weren't selling the books themselves just through a link through amazon. Seemed like a clever idea to have a tool that creates a website for an amazon astore which looks a bit different, but obviously I'd like to have an idea if it worked first. My site at the moment is #3 on google for a particular books search but have very low pay through rate from amazon associates, almost no sales.

    it does the job.

    not exactly pretty, and can be a bit over complex (until you realize what you do and dont need)

    apart from 1 niche, my other amazon scripts do better.

    but, its still my amazon script of choice as you can add anything to it.

    I have 3 or 4 sites using it. Easy(ish) to get up and running but takes a lot of tweaks to tailor to your needs - as per any package i guess.

    Check out Cast Iron Weights and Photo Frames in my sig that are nearing completion.

    Only thing that puts me off creating too many of them is the 24 hour cookie on amazon.

    Thanks for both your replies, I appreciate it.

    seanc: Which other amazon scripts do you use or are they created by you?

    fletchbog: Your website seems to be doing quite well on google for a search of 'cast iron weights' have you done much other promotion of the site?

    Zero :)

    Being a .co.uk with little competition in that niche helps i think.

    I'm sure it does help, I have a few exact match domains like that which I'm considering using for that. Does the software allow you to add custom images?

    Yes it does.

    I would just try the trial version which defaults to the lite version after the trial. Im using the lite version where 9 times out of 10 it uses your amazon id, and one out of ten the Associate O matic amazon id.

    I've not fully decided if I want to go with the full version or not yet, so holding fire.

    I use Fresh Store Builder for amazon sites. Associate-o-matic creates thin affiliate sites that google hates, and usually end up with a google penalty meaning it ruins the domain.
