WTF Should I Buy From Amazon?

  Funny idea! :) What about opening the Amazon page to target=_blank so that a new browser window/tab opens (instead of taking users away from your site)? Also: Sign up for affiliate compensation on other Amazon markets (DE, UK, et a.). Use geolocation to target your visitors to the appropriate Amazon locale.

    These are good suggestions, thanks!

      If you're too lazy or busy to do the geolocation yourself, check out http://a-fwd.com/ http://a-fwd.com/ :)

  Nice, I made something similar this past Christmas: http://santaroulette.com/ http://santaroulette.com/ How did you decide which products to pick from?
  • brynnshepherd 14y ago
    Haha awesome! My approach is actually pretty hacky - I just have an array of random words that I select from and then search amazon for :)

      Yeah mine was pretty hacky too - I scraped Amazon's gift suggestion categories, then realized some of the suggestions were terrible (e.g. Maxim subscription for Mom) and had to hand-prune the lists. I like your approach better actually, a lot more open ended.

  That is funny; unfortunately, it's exactly the opposite problem I have with Amazon.
