    Hello,

    Its hard to keep track of always changing amazon prices and then adjusting the ads.

    Does anyone have a better way of doing this? Maybe a program to monitor prices on selected products or something?

    How do the price changes affect you?

    What kind of ads are you displaying?

    Amazon offers a banner and ad service that updates automatically. You do not need to change anything. Once you put the banner code on your site, that is it, your finished - amazon takes care of the rest.

    I have had amazon banners on my page for a year, and the prices are always right. So I dont know what your doing to have the wrong prices.

    Im writing hardlinks to products manually, so when I say something costs $100 and people click on the link and it shows up as $120, they are probably not happy.

    Im not sure if Im explaining it correctly

    add products to your wishlist and check it from time to time
    otherwise just write that at the time of writing it costs $xxx at amazon

    Im going to try the wishlist, thanks for the tip.

    Could say something used to cost $X amount, but if the price is wrong the conversions would be horrible

    Then either code a script that pulls the price,

    or use Amazon's little link box thing that contains the price....

    or check the site daily/hourly (however often as necessary)
