ReviewAzon hooks in seamlessly to existing WP blogs. It just provides you a interface to search Amazon’s API either on a per/post basis or doing bulk searches and drips them into your posts. You can still use the blog normally or include your own content before/after the provided content. It’s pretty slick. I’m still trying to understand all of it’s features. One that this is super cool is the YouTube search they provide right inside the edit post area. Very cool.

Looking at ReviewAZON -> Advanced Settings, I see that it specifies that it needs to be PhpBayLite or PhpBayPro. I went with Lite for my initial blog testing. Auctions are either listed in the post, or within a side bar widget. It passes the product title to those plugins.

Thanks!

Funny, I have had the opposite results from you. In my case Amazon has been the winner over EPN, and by a pretty fair margin (roughly 5-1). Most of the sites I create display results from both, and mostly on the same page. Amazon really started taking off for me after they stopped paying commissions for direct search engine results (back in March I think?).

I like the looks of this plugin. But, I’m wondering how easy it would be to integrate into an existing blog. It looks like the themes being used were really created/tailored for the plugin.

I also see they have a hook for PHPBay. I’m not a PHPBay user, but I wonder if the hook would work for WordBay (or other).

Any thoughts…?

This is something I would love to use on my blogs. I have been using the free 'Amazon Autoposter' so far, so would be interesting to see the features it adds to that. I can't afford to spend any more money on things like this right now, but I can see how it would be a good investment in future. .-= Web Career Girl´s last blog ..How to Rewrite PLR Articles Effectively =-.
