I've finally completed a brand new plugin to replace the old Amazon Niche Store plugin. Be sure to check out the Free WordPress Store for Amazon Associates.

Yeah, I'm going to try spending some time over the holidays to repair it.

It's a shame, I recently found this plugin and is exactly what I have been looking for.

Regardless, it looks like you helped a ton of people with it during its time, so feel proud! As much as I do hope you can find a fix someday, we always have more important things to be doing! Good luck, sir!

No, I'm afraid the plugin may be dead indefinitely... I don't know that I
will have the time to fix it any time soon.

Any update? I have your plugin on many sites, and I just love it!

No the problem is on my end. I'm afraid my script was causing issues w/ my
host, so they have disabled the script. I'm afraid the plugin may be dead,
until I can come up with an alternative solution. :(

Got this error below. So, i have to find another hosting?

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /tools/amazon/amazon.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

How to remove the link back and make it 100%? Do you have that? A donation maybe? Thanks!

Anything similar to those of us that do not use Wordpress?

You have too many keywords. The search looks for all of the keywords, so it
is unlikely any product is going to have all of the keywords you're seeking.
You need to narrow down the search terms to those that go together. I
would suggest setting up a different page for different types of products.

Here is the code I am using on my "Business Library" page that is generating ZERO results. [amazon trackingid="transmuscienc-20" keywords="quicken, business, intuit, quick books, quickbooks, marketing, internet marketing, business advice, business plans, marketing, small business, business guide, marketing plans, growing a business" rows="6" columns="3" pagination="yes" vertical="yes" logo="none"]

Is there something in my code that is prohibiting results? I'm going to have to take this page and the "Graphic Design Library" down if there's going to be no results.

I'm not sure why it isn't yielding results. I have seen situations where
the Amazon API provides slightly different results than the Amazon web
search, but usually there's not a problem with few results unless it is a
set of very obscure keywords.

That's exactly how it works. 10% of the time my affiliate ID is displayed.

Gah! Will not display as a widget. www.transmutationsciences.com Very interesting that it won't display. Not too worried. Mostly worried why certain keywords won't produce results. (see below.).

Is it possible to make all the linking target=blank? I prefer to keep all outbound links that way.

Ahhh ... so I was about to post a question about products and keywords. I have made several pages with particular topics and a few of the pages display few if any titles. A comparable search directly on amazon displays multitudes of titles. So, if the "plugin works by pulling the products from my server" its not pulling the titles from amazon? How am I supposed to sell anything if my keywords are being filtered? Here is my example: http://www.transmutationsciences.com/library-re...

For example, a search on amazon for quickbooks yeilds 50 items; yet the same keyword in the plugin yeilds zero results.

Or, is there some other issue involved?

Re: Build Your Own Amazon Niche Store

GeekLad — Fri, 28 May 2010 15:34:17 -0000

That is correct. I display my affiliate ID 10% of the time.

Hi Geeklad, So whats the catch? is this plugin absolutely "free" or is there a certain percentage that sneaks your affiliate ID into our code? Would not mind if it did, you have a wonderful plugin. Just would like to know.

Thanks for the hard work!

Yea, I had an amazon niche store selling non-nicotine, electronic cigarettes. They closed it down and dont allow the sale of e-cigs even if its a non-nicotine product. I think its due to a few bad apples but hey, its the way the ball rolls.

From my experience results are much better with Amazon. I often see order of product directly from Amazon, although a marketplace seller is cheaper. People trust them, they know they'll get their orders fast and they know the customer support is pretty decent.

It may be that your web host doesn't allow remote access of files via PHP.
That is required for the plugin to work properly.

You need to enclose it in tags.
