Yeh that link works but with other scripts it's possible to integrate your store in your site without an iframe. To bad they only give prices if you use aStore.
aStores will not bring any SE trafic. These scripts mentioned in this thread can build you own site that can be indexed by SE and you control the content...

Has anyone tried combining aStore with Amazon's AWS? I am pretty close to having a store ready to take live doing this. This version of the script uses all iframes. Amazon Store Same idea should allow for creating a replacement for Google's 150x600 Adsense box without too much more effort? By using AWS the 150x600 iframe would enable the searching of Amazon. A customer could then select from several pages of results. Clicking the product link would deliver the customer to your aStore. I am also considering the addition of browsenodelookup to the script. Wow an aStore with unlimited subcategories! Now that should be interesting!!!
