Amazon Autoposter Sites

Well I took some of my domains that I had sitting around doing nothing and went through the whole AmazonAutoposter set up according to those four WSO vids. I'm impressed that you can get a site up and ranking pretty fast, but the traffic isn't that great so I'm wondering if I should try this other approach.

I see lots of online stores that, when you mouse over the picture of the item, turns out to be an Amazon link anyway, but their layout is much nicer (IMHO) than the autoposter sites. Like they'll have all the products arranged in a table of say 5 x 5 images, and then you scroll through a next page or category to get other ones, and so on.

I'm wondering if people have strong opinions one way or another about how to build a store with third party sales/shipping. Like what are good page formats, can you mix other vendors in with Amazon, should I be thinking of getting aggressive and trying to contact the manufacturers directly, and so on.

I will say this is all a lot of fun. I built four autoposting sites yesterday and they rank, for the two words in the domain name, #1, #3, and page 4 and page 5. Not sure what to do about those stragglers, but one of them is of the form 'sex-site.com' where 'site' is replaced with one of my own keywords. But its not a pr0n site, its just stuff grabbed from Amazon books.

    I think the 5x5 setup you are talking about is an Amazon aStore. These are useful additions to some sites, but as a main attraction they don't generally... attract. If you were to look at the source code you would see none of the text etc that is shown on the page, just a load of Amazon embed gobbledegook, which is what the search engines see too. There is not a lot of meat to an Amazon aStore - from an SEO standpoint they are useless and need something substantial alongside them to draw traffic.

    The type of stores produced by Amazon Autoposter and similar plugins consist of proper product pages that the search engines can read. You can give them proper WordPress tags and categories, have no need to worry about page width (aStores are too wide to fit in most blog templates) and you can put Adsense and other stuff on the page much more easily. You can also schedule the product posts in the same way you can schedule anything else with WordPress, and you can mix aricles with your product posts too. Autoposter type sites give you much more control, aStores give you almost none.
