Plugin vs. Manual Entry of Amazon Affiliate Products?

by azhaze
6 replies
I am building a small ecommerce store, I want to add products from Amazon but was curious if there is any benefit of manually adding the products, versus using something like wpzon or easyzon to add in products?

Also, how do I avoid the dupe content with amazon descriptions, will I need to write all new descriptions for every single product?

I have a camping/outdoors website that I want to add around 1500 products too over the next few months.

    Sites, like google, don't actually get data from your site. They ask a special server, usually an HTTP server, to give them the data. http is the default, and you are actually demanding it when you prefix a URL with http(s)://

    Anyway, that server doesn't actually send the pages from your site, but what the pages are interpreted as. htm(l) pages are usually sent as is, and .php, ,asp, etc... aren't.

    If you plan it right, google may never even guess that the page was not crafted by hand.

    Descriptions SHOULD be different, but won't always be. It is the nature of the beast.

    Frankly, automating the page generations facilitates searches, simplifies cleanup, and is quicker and easier. Look at it THIS way! AMAZON DOES IT! They get PLENTY of things indexed.

    From an SEO standpoint, you can use a plugin as long as those pages still get indexed. All in all, you want your URLs to be search engine friendly and your meta tags and product description to be completely unique. I would manually write all the descriptions and such, but use a plugin to actually put that on your website. Just make sure the pages the plugin creates will get indexed (most should)

    I recommend using plugins to fetch product name, images, rating count, current prices etc. It will save you lots of time. You can hire someone to change the description to avoid duplicate content.
