    Most of them are content based websites....


    a few days ago a came across with amazon and affilliate program
    and I tought what are the chances to some1 buy from Amazon Affiliate store? most probable he/she would buy directly from Amazon it self.

    then I done some reachears, including this forum, and I came across that there are success in doing affiliate business...

    but still I wasent convince, but them I came across with this Amazon Store
    http://www.target.com/
    and I was extremelly impressed!

    after seeing that store I was convince that there is huge potencial in doing affiliate business!!!!


    but since I am very new in this program, just want to ask you experts
    some tips

    like how to create a similar store like http://www.target.com/
    driven (powerd) by amazon.

    is there any webstemplates??? any special script????

    if not

    and I have to build it from scratch( a design part)
    how can I get the data from amazon such as categories, images, payment system, etc

    I want to build a very similar store like http://www.target.com/


    any help will be very apreciated :)

    Thanking you

    Hello,
    I'm newbie too here, i just wanna share my little experience how to create an amazon associates store.
    First I install "APF script" by Mr. Ratt under cgi folder, that script could connect my web to Amazon as an associate. I also need "APF Brigde" by Dean Marshall (Since I'm using Joomla here) to make APF script working on my Joomla site.
    For the example you could check it here : BestBuyZon
    I created it by two weeks ago and still working on it :), hope it could help you although a little.
    Sincerely.

    You are referring to Target.com the corporation and Im quite sure they sell their own stuff...there are scripts out there to build an amazon store and it can be done. You need to know that simple building an amazon powered or whatever product feed site and not adding any new articles or product reviews probably won't get much traffic organically. To be a successful affiliate you have to publish alot of unique content and get the search engines to value your site if you want it to rank. Im sure you have heard it before but its true.

    Everytime I see someone write out "I know exactly the answer to what your thread is asking ...but, I wont post it...PM me"

    Its basically saying " Hey! I have something to sell you!!"
