Can I get contextual links of products from the Amazon marketplace for selling them on my website? I have my own website (blog) and monetize it by having product links from the Amazon marketplace. I think I will have more sales if the product links that I place on my web pages are contextually relevant.
Several of the Amazon widgets are context based, but automatic linking of products when they are mentioned on your page is not supported in US Amazon (there are still "Context Links" at Amazon UK). However, the widgets tend to be slow loading, and most have proven ineffective on content sites although perhaps a bit of fun and decoration on personal blogs. You could, for example, try the Product Cloud, which does adjust to your page content if the page has been crawled recently. As suggested on another forum, you might find that you have more luck with a Recommended Products widget, carefully choosing keywords (and negative keywords, as necessary). A similar approach would work for widgets like the Deals Widget.
I have come across a new service called MyContextualAds.com which does exactly this – it serves contextual product links from the Amazon.com marletplace. It works just like Google Adsense – just get the code from the site, embed it on your site and you are good to go! The service would automatically understand the “aboutness†of your web page and generates contextual product links from the Amazon.com marketplace. And best of all, you get to keep all your commissions on sales generated when your site visitors transact. So, Katrr, try this one out to monetize your site better today - MyContextualAds.com
First of all, they take 10% of commissions after the first 3 months, and second, they show list price not current price, and occasionally show the wrong image. I'd say it's a service still under development.
