EasyAzon User Review
Though there are many ways to make money on the Internet, I think Amazon is one of the most viable, and yet it is also one of the most underrated. Customers trust Amazon, and as a company Amazon work hard on making sure they convert visitors into buyers and you would be hard pressed to find a niche on their website they don’t cover.
The only problem with a site the size of Amazon from an affiliates point of view is actually finding the link code for what you want to sell and getting it into your website in a way that is going get you sales. The manual way of doing it is time consuming, and though there are other products out there that pull information from the Amazon API, they tend to leave a footprint, and many Internet marketers have seen their rankings fall in recent months due to this problem. So does what can we do to make the process easier ? well thanks to well known Amazon affiliate Chris Guthrie and his new WordPress Plugin EasyAzon, you can now create Amazon product pages quickly and easily, and without the risk of leaving a footprint for the Big G.
EasyAzon WordPress Plugin
As the WordPress publishing platform has continued grow, it has become my sole platform of choice for creating Amazon niche sites. EasyAzon is simple to install and makes my creation of sites easier, either for myself, of my outsource workers.
Here is a screen shot of the EasyAzon screen settings:
These are one-time settings that once in place you can leave alone.
Notice down at the bottom of the page, there is an option to enable Link Localization. This is a great feature that permits you to enter your affiliate details for other international Amazon affiliate programs. EasyAzon will then automatically detect the users’ IP location via their IP address and serve them links to the appropriate affiliate program. Depending on your traffic demographics, and the products you’re promoting, this can be a very lucrative addition. Many of my sites have a solid stream of visitors from the UK, and I know in the past I have missed out on these sales, or had to create extra links for them.
The only possible downside here is that most of the other Amazon sites don’t carry nearly the same depth of products as Amazon.com, so in many cases the product you’re promoting may not be available on the users’ local site. That’s not a limitation of the plugin though, but rather of Amazon itself, either way it’s going to increase your sales.
EasyAzon In Action
Ok so I said EasyAzon is easy to use, so let me show you it in action so you can see exactly what it can do for you
First, open a new post, or edit one you already made. Once you have EasyAzon plugin installed, you’ll see a box below the post edit screen where you can search for products.
Simply type in whatever you’re searching for, either in a general sense, or specifically and hit the blue ‘Search Amazon’ button to get a list of results. If you prefer, you can narrow the results down further by specifying which Search Index you want to use, but it’s not required.
As soon as you do the search, you will get a list of results right there in the form. For this search example I have used “perfume” and now you can see the completed results below:
At this point, all you have to do to insert an affiliate link into your post is click on ‘Insert Text Link’ or one of the other link options: Image Link or Info Box. And that is it.
If you select Text Link, you’ll see a simple box that lets you specify what anchor text you want to link with.
If you select Image Link, then you will see a box with options for how large you want the image to be, and its alignment.
If you select Info Box, you’ll see a screen where you can specify the alignment.
After each box, all you have to do is simply hit Insert Shortcode, and the shortcode gets pasted into your post where your cursor is at that moment.
