AssociateOMatic or Other Ideas?

    Hi Everyone

    I was planning on getting the full version of Associate O Matic and having about 5 sites built on this but after reading a bunch of stuff here, I don't know if that's a good idea.

    I'm looking to build out a few sites with some good keyword domains that I have. I tried the Wordpress sites with Amazon Affiliate links but that hasn't brought any income.

    Can you guys recommend some scripts or other things I can do to build my sites? I want to have a professional looking site and I'm willing to invest some money into it.

    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    How about wordpress auto blogging plugins since Wordpress is perfect for SEO, unlike AssociateOMatic or similar software?

    It isn't so much about what software is good for SEO... it's about what you do with the software. You can never get away with not building a good quality site if you want SEO results. Of course you need software that gives you the right tools.

    I've been considering Associate-o-matic too. I am concerned about how much I could do to edit it.

    I'll have to check out the freshstorebuilder.com.

    Here's some others that I'm looking at currently:
    http://www.freshstorebuilder.com/features/ - This one looks very promising, as we can edit the look and feel, plus we can add our own product info, which is very important for SEO.
    http://www.theeasystore.com/compare_storebuilders.php - This one looks like the best competitor of Fresh Store builder and Associate-o-matic.
    http://www.ecommerceforeveryone.com/pricing.php - This one looks kind of gimmicky. I don't like needing an annual fee or having to host it on their servers.
    http://www.associateeasy.com/ - This looks like they're trying to resell the Easy Store script.

    Here's a response back from Fresh Store Builder: "You get 3 licenses (so three domains) for the initial price and then it is $29 for each initial license (or domain). Let me know if you have any more questions." and no annual fee. OOOOh, just noticed! Only $97 for 10 stores with Code "DPEXCLUSIVE" - Money back guarantee -

    Associate-o-Matic: Is unlimited licenses (unlimited domains), but includes an annual fee.

    Easy Store: No annual fee. However, it appears that you have to pay for a new license with each domain.

    AOM was old. I think you should up to new scripts.

    I've been playing with a trial of associate-o-matic and it seems great - really curious how Google treats ranking due to all duplaicte content pulled from Amazon. Does easy store builder allow more customisation?

    I don't think Associate O Matic is good idea, i had many websites with this script and i didn't sale one item, I think the commission go to them and you will get nothing, I made sales when I started writing articles without this script .
    Find a micro niche and write your own articles.

    Associate-o-Matic will not perform in the search engines anymore - it did a few years ago but Google made some changes, and overnight all the stores were useless.

    Fresh Store Builder gets my vote. It is very actively supported and developed, is very easy to set up, and allows for customization.

    It's the way to go.

    I have to agree fresh store builder gets my vote. I have 10 stores with that script already and the ones I started a few weeks ago are really doing well now. Script is easy to use. Now there is a lot of reviews on fresh store builder. You can just google it. I even found this one video http://vimeo.com/17263669 Its about 7 minutes long. Shows how to add a category and products using different features of script.

    Hi Lian did you try just building a amazon online store not using wordpess? Then just adding some guides on your products. Some 250 to 300 word articles for your categories. Then just building backlinks. Has always worked for me. Add some uniqe content. Autoblogging is good but anything you do manually will look better than when its just being pulled from other articles and respun.
