Building an Amazon shop for my wordpress site

Well i want to build an amazon shop for my wordpress site but i don't like the astore so my idea is to build a page with 2 flags, one being US and one being UK, then when the person clicks on one of the flags they will get redirected to a part of my site that is on a subdomain and i will add products to that page with a written review.

If there is a better way to do this than some advice would be great, i have no coding experience.

Thanks.

 

Have you began to look to see if there are plugins that already exist for this?

The first idea would be to set it, so that the first page of your blog shows a static post (this can be setup via the admin panel), and make it so that your post displays the flags you refer to in your post, these flags, will obviously be links, and direct to the UK/US parts respectively.

Is the subdomain essential? Surely you can make it into categories, and use a plugin to hide certain sections of your sidebar for certain categories?

Is this something you wish to do a bit of coding to, or are you hoping that this can be done with existing plugins?

 

There is a plugin to make your sites, it's called Associate-o-Matic, you can buy it or download it from a torrent or black hat forum, I have it but never used. I don't know exactly how to use it for different countries. There is a program somewhere on the net which makes N wordpress sites which can be controlled from one control panel.
Otherwise the translate plugins make subdomains per every language, /us or /uk, i think it's not against SEO to make such subdomains.

 

You could check out the viability of BlogSense to handle your Amazon post creation. We support both UK and American Amazon stores and have a thorough templating system for creating the posts. I'm not sure off the top of my head how you would do the flag thing. It's not a bad Idea. But it would take manual setup for each post.

 

Hey thanks, ive been looking at AoM and it looks good for what i need, ill look into it.

 

I've used it and I had a terrible time getting it to rank. That was 3 years ago though.

 

Well, would that matter since it will only be an addition to my main site and will be on a sub domain?

 

If you're driving traffic there from your main site then It wouldn't matter. If you were starting a stand-alone site then it would.
I also think they may have a Wordpress plugin too. Not positive though. If they do it's a lot newer then the php system they provided when I tried it out.

 

OK thanks, that's what i plan to do.
