The best Amazon affiliate plugin – AAWP

Posted on Service, Tracking Clicks

If you want to monetize through the Amazon Associates program, then AAWP is the WordPress plugin you should use. It has the ability to not only link to Amazon products, but also to create summary boxes that are automatically updated with descriptions, images, and prices. You can also easily create product comparison pages.

If you’re an Amazon affiliate, you need something better than Pretty Links. Pretty Links really doesn’t fit the Amazon affiliate program. Basically, Pretty Links is just a link management system.

If you want to fully monetize with the Amazon Associate program, you need to automatically get Amazon’s product information, pricing and images. That’s why I recommend AAWP.

AAWP is a plugin for WordPress. Its core power is untrackable. In fact, the plugin has no built-in click tracking or conversions or reporting. AAWP’s strength lies in its ability to pull information directly from the Amazon site.

AAWP communicates with the Amazon API and automatically extracts this information:

  • Product Name
  • Product Description
  • Product image
  • Pricing

In addition, the plugin automatically processes all of this information on a daily basis. There is no need to go to your site and update prices when Amazon changes its price – which is a common occurrence for Amazon.

AAWP also has the following features:

  • Geotargeting – select the right Amazon Associates program based on the visitor’s location.
  • Highlight Amazon links – set up links to display an Amazon icon so your visitors know they can buy a product on the site.
  • Product Summary – Display a nicely formatted takeout that automatically displays the Amazon product, description, and prices. No need to update this information manually, which saves you time and effort.
  • Comparison Tables – Easily create comparison tables of products available on Amazon and highlight key features.
  • Auto Lists – automatically create lists of bestsellers and new releases to ensure that your blog includes the latest products.
  • Amazon “Buy Now” button. Set up a clear call to action so that your visitors are more likely to make a conversion.

All of these features increase Amazon’s conversion rate. This is especially important due to Amazon’s recent commission changes. Plus, you get all this for less than $50.
