php Amazon Takes Its First Steps!
For those of you who don't know about it Wade Wells, the creator of phpBay Pro is currently working on a wordpress plugin for amazon which will work in a similar way to phpBay and allow you to display amazon items directly within your posts and earn commission off click through purchases.
Many people have been reluctant to use the amazon affiliate program or have used it and not succeeded. As many of you may know amazon only offers a one day cookie whic currently is not great and part of the reason it has not been well taken up, maybe they will change that in the future if they have more and more affiliates promoting their products.
phpBay has bought a great return for many people partly down to the fact you can integrate listings in a site with fresh and constantly updating content, the idea that you will be able to do that with amazon is just great.
There are a couple of plugins in the directory which allow you to add amazon products to your wordpress blog but not as good as this has the potential to be. The phpzon plugin is currently very much in the developmental stage but Wade announced yesterday that he has got it into plugin form, the plugin has 'taken its first steps'. At least the plugin is on the right tracks and so perhaps we should see something released, in beta form at least, in the next couple of months.
I look forward to seeing the first release of this great plugin and will keep you posted of any news and updates.
