Amazon Reviews + Yahoo Pipes + FeedWordpress = Autoblogging
1. Install Wordpress on the domain, select your favorite theme (prefer the semilogic theme for this kind of stuff).
2. Design a "front page" with information about the book and some pictures.
3. Hop over to Amazon and build an aStore, use an inline frame to add it to your blog.
All pretty straight forward. Now I want to add some great content to this blog on a daily basis so I can get some good Google Juice, I also want something I can submit to feed aggragators, and of course I do not want to do all of the work myself. I could outsource someone to write content, but Amazon has been nice enough to supply me with a ton of free content - customer reviews!
Customer reviews are available through the Amazon Web Service, and this book had over 100 of them. I am not about to copy and paste 100 reviews into Wordpress. Fortunately there is Yahoo Pipes.
4. Hop over to Yahoo Pipes, build a pipe that will grab the reviews from Amazon. A great trick here is to modify the date of the review. I move all of the reviews to a date that is one year later than they were actually submitted, this insures two things; one the reviews on my site will not be the same ones on the first page of the Amazon site for that book, two I know that I will be able to pull in fresh content for the next year on a regular basis.
5. Use the feed from the Yahoo Pipes with FeedWordpress, I like FeedWordpress because it will use the Feed Published date as my published date, so I can get a ton of back dated content, and have future posts queued up.
All in all a pretty simple operation.
