Embed An Amazon Niche Store On Your WordPress Blog

dgridley · 11-19-2009, 12:37 AM

Recently installed the Amazon Niche Store plugin on a couple of my blogs. Have to say installation was quick and easy.. as simple as creating a new page with some embedded shortcode to embed an Amazon-enabled niche store on your blog page using this format:

[amazon trackingid="YOUR-CAMPAIGN-ID" keywords="YOUR-STORE-KEYWORDS" rows="NUMBER-OF-ROWS-YOU-WANT-TO-DISPLAY" columns="NUMBER-OF-COLUMNS-YOU-WANT-TO-DISPLAY" pagination="yes" vertical="yes"]

You can see the plugin in action here:

Using "downloadable games" for keyword

Free PC Game Download Info Downloadable Games

Using "fishing" as the keyword

Lunker Bass Fishing News – Videos Lunker Bass Store

You can add to the page as you see fit to customize it's appearance.

Download the plugin here:

Figure this is a plugin Keith may be interested in as well..

Would like if you could create multiple stores tho.. for my games site, I'd like downloadable games and PC games, but don't want them mixed.

Here's a related plugin.. this one will add your Amazon affiliate link to any Amazon link automatically. That way, if someone put's an Amazon link in a comment or post, it will add your affiliate link. There's both a Wordpress plugin available AND a javascript version that "should" work anywhere else (maybe even a VBulletin forum, Keith? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge!)

Check it out here:

Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer Wordpress Plugin | Pete Williams

and the javascript version:

JavaScript Amazon Associate Link Localiser | Pete Williams

By the way, this understandably only works with links that don't already have an affiliate link in the URL to avoid conflicts.

I never knew that it also have pulgin.
Maybe that's why I can't put the code perfectly 'cos it needs the plugin.
This is a very helpful information. Thanks!
