    Excellent thread by the way. Good to meet some other users out there :) All in all I'm pretty happy with it. I'm working on templating now.

    nevetS, when did you buy your script from them? are you just starting out with it? I am new to the whole affiliate thing, so this will be a first for me. I run my own stores so this will be interesting. ;-)

    Great information, nevetS and GTech. I can now do a lot less preliminary head scratching and dig into it. I bought my copy about the same time as nevetS, but have been side-tracked with other projects. Perhaps I can go after it later this week.

    I've seen this problem as well...

    The thing is that not all vendors who sell through amazon.com allow purchases through affiliates. There is no easy way to filter them out currently, but there is something coming along in 5.0- quoting an e-mail from craig...

    heh ya that is what i thought. the only way to make sure it is available is to what? check it via through aws and not try to add products directly found on amazon?

    is so, then this is a great site/tool http://www.browsenodes.com

    :)

    I found a list of vendors, but not a list of those who allow purchases.

    If you use the beta, you can select "buy used" and the right price will come up, but I'm not sure if you will actually get a commission from it.

    I think that most if not all of the "amazon marketplace" people sell through affiliates, but the big brands like Pea in the Pod, Quicksilver, etc. don't.

    Now, keep in mind that I'm a noob. Now that I think about it, I believe what I read was they don't allow certain data to be passed through AWS, so you still might get commissions from direct links, but you end up being shy on data.

    I am interested in buying this script or one like it. Are you folks still happy with it and would you reccomend it, or has something better come along?

    Thanks!

    I am still using it. They went through a time when the owner had some personal troubles of some sort and had to bow out, leaving little desired for support. About a month ago, they added new support staff and have answered every email I've sent within 24 hours.

    I've noted a few new Amazon scripts out in the past few months:

    http://www.awscms.com/
    http://www.ezaws.com/

    I've not tried them, but they both look interesting.

    I've just bought a "source code" copy and it was very easy to install (although I didnt create an admin user/pass and had to reinstall:rolleyes: )

    It looks as though it could be very easy to use but it's frightening the life out of me at the moment!I want to run it using a genre (ie horror,thriller etc) to sell vids,dvds,books etc in that genre so I will be playing around with it over the coming weeks and learning along the way.It's a pity theres no help forum for this although I did see a link to one somewhere but it was down.
    As I don't even know what a node is yet I'm hoping it'll all dawn on me eventually:D

    Just as an afterthought is there anywhere I can get templates for this?

    I ended up buying ghostscripter and had problems with it. After being frustrated with the lack of timely support, I purchased AWSCMS and what a difference. Questions are answered right away and they have a pretty good manual as well in PDF format. :)
