Hello was wondering if anyone has had great success with those Amazon autoposters that are running on autopilot. Is it a good way to make $ provided I drive traffic to that blog? I currently have 30,000 FB Fans in a niche and I plan to drive those fans to my blog and have Amazon autoposter on it. Thanks in advance

    I have never tried it, the one downside would be ranking in google if the content is not unique, however if your traffic will be from facebook, then that may not be an issue to you.

    Does it have a money back guarantee? If so, It may be worth trying out and seeing how it goes.

    I've tried several of them. I don't have a problem with content, because I generally add to my posts. (How-to tips: How to Enhance Your Amazon Product Posts - She Flips Websites )

    And, for that reason, an Amazon plugin that allows me to edit my posts... that's a key point. One of my favorite Amazon-related plugins was recently updated (Feb 2012) and it looks like it no longer allows me to enhance my posts. I'm hoping it's just a glitch, but it may be a product I can no longer recommend.

    But, that's one of the problems with many Amazon product autoposting plugins: They aren't consistent or they aren't updated when WP is updated, or both. So, I can't recommend spending very much on one. In general, I've been happy enough with products that are less than, say, $40.

    The plugin that's letting me down at the moment... it was nearly $100.

    I'm still testing a few Amazon budget-priced autoposting plugins I've bought as WSOs in the past month or so. If all you need is something that'll autopost product information taken directly from Amazon, with no additions at all, many Amazon autoposters will do that.

    However, like others have said, that could be an issue if your content isn't unique enough to rank well at the search engines.

    My advice: Snag one with reasonably good reviews at the WSO board, and replace it with something newer as necessary. If you're spending under $50 for each of them, and they earn you at least that much before you have to replace them... well, that may be a good choice.

    There are fancier Amazon autoposters selling at higher prices. Many of them also include other features. When it's a large, all-purpose plugin, it's also a plugin (with a larger, possibly slow-loading footprint) that does more than you need.

    The concept of a basic Amazon autoposter is very good. And, I know that some of these plugins work well, at least for awhile.

    I still recommend enhancing or expanding at least some of your product posts so they are unique and informative. That's not just about search engine rankings, but about building a sense of trust with your website visitors.

    But, if all you need is something to automatically update your site with an occasional Amazon product post, you'll always find several among the WSOs. Get one that's new, not too expensive, and has good reviews -- not just from cronies and newbies, but from experienced IMers who generally give thorough and honest reviews.

    I hope that's helpful!
