Amazon Store on WordPress
I am trying the WordPress Amazon Store from
pilkster.com. The script, which is modified from ASM2 script, allows you to run an Amazon online store on your WordPress blog.
Amazon Online Store running on WordPress blog showing product information and reviews.
The installation is quite easy, but you need an Amazon Developer Key. The default installation assume that your WordPrss blog was installed on the domain root and the path is http://YourSite.com/amazon/. If you install it on other path, you may need to tweak the code a bit as I did.
My two cents
After installed for 48 hours, there hasn’t any sales at the online store. The script would be better, if I can add Amazon.com categories at the sidebar.

Interesting plugin, I sure can see how powerful this can be on a blog. I wonder I can use it on some of my blogs hmmm…it will be great on a wide niche blog, Im not sure how well it will do for a deep niche blog.
Hey if this is possible then I wonder if anyone have come up with a shoping cart plugin for wordpress, now that would really be usefull
Hey Liew
Great to see you using the plugin. You are right about having categories in the sidebar, that would be a useful feature, although I think there is a need to be able to use only one category as most blogs cover a niche. For an example of a good integration you could visit blogmedo.com – that site has items linked from the sidebar, although thry have been added as links in wordpress.
Hope you get some sales soon! pilkster.
Hi Liew
Plugin looks great, thx for pointing it out! However, I have a question: As I am using your 3 column kubrick theme, I wondered how you achieved that the actual product pages look allright? Please check out mine: http://www.pspwelt.com/amazon/ I looks good, but as soon as choose a category (for example Videogames, Sony PSP) the layout breaks up. Thx for any suggestion!
