Anyone tried an Amazon Store?

KP how did you promote the site in the normal way ???

Predominantly through back links, quality blog posts to comic blogs.

When it was first launched you never really had much control over the on-site optimisation so back links it was.

I find the astore format pretty poor for converting visitors to customers,also it doesn't get much traffic on it's own, the one that does the best for me is embedded in a website.

Though I do ok from creating direct product links and placing them in text, these convert far better, and importantly they set a cookie so if the visitor is just browsing and later buys something else from amazon youearn commission on this. (Shame it's only a 24 hour cookie though!) Astore visitors can click around your store for ever, and unless they complete the shopping cart you don;t get a cookie or commission.

I'm finding ebay converting much better than amazon at the moment, and am loving setting up RSS feeds which convert real well, shame there isn't a RSS feed for amazon products!
