EcommerceForEveryone.com , developers of Amazon Associate Websites, have created a new Amazon Associates forum. If you've been interested in learning to earn with the Amazon.com Associates program, then take an opportunity to join our new community.

I'm Considering Amazon Turk

It's my understanding that with Amazon Turk, you can put together an on demand work force to do various tasks. I'm considering using it as a marketing method. I figured that I might pay $1 for people to do a 5 or ten minute blog post.

There are plenty of places that offer pay per post, but it could be expensive. This experiment might be the start of a lot of cool new things. Potential the ability to outsource some tasks. I'll post my findings back here.

My Experience With Windows on Amazon's EC2

Being a developer of websites for Amazon Associates, I've long been an advocate of Amazon Web Services. Recently, I decided to give Ec2 for Windows a try. Don't get me wrong, I use Linux web servers for all my business servers, but I had a computing task that I thought Windows on Ec2 would be well suited for.

During my normal website marketing activities, I typically will build a very large Google Site maps, XML files with 40,000 urls, and anywhere from 5-22 per site. To do this, I run a website crawling application which pulls 15 urls every 4 seconds. Now my server is a dual quad core processor, capable of serving hundreds of pages per second.

The problem:
1. Building my site maps quickly to get my new websites indexed quickly, and to let Google know some of the deeper pages of site content.
2. Making use of my server's capability.
3. Not run the crawling application on my desktop

My Solution:
1. Run multiple instances of my crawler on various Windows via Amazon Ec2.
2. Launched 5 instances, quickly and easily right from my browser.

What I discovered? The new cloud computing model is going to make another revolution in computing that I don't yet believe has been fully appreciated. I envision that companies such as Adobe may offer their applications more affordably via Amazon Ec2 amis or computer images (think Norton Ghost). This will create new sales channels for software vendors, and possibly bring more of a user base for their applications.

My YouTube Channel

I've been enjoying YouTube for a while now. Most of the time I've been a consumer of videos, but not so long ago, I thought I'd get in on all the action and post a few videos about my favorite topics. If you'd like to check me out and some of the work I've been doing with the Amazon Associates program, please feel free to hit me up and subscibe at http://www.youtube.com/user/PuReWebDev

I mainly discuss topics like website marketing, Amazon.com , Google and web development.

New Forum For Amazon Associates

I know there are a lot of Amazon Associates out there who would like to discuss the program, how to increase earnings, technical issues, new product offerings, and changes within the Amazon Associates program. In addition, I've noticed the the official amazon forum is rather useless, as it isn't moderated.

I'd like to recommend everyone who wants to learn more about the associates program, or just to hangout, please feel free to stop by our associate forum. You don't need to be a customer of ours to enjoy our forum. We're going to be moderating it, so if you post a question, you'll receive a prompt knowledgeable response.

Getting Holiday Deals From Amazon.com

Just wanted to let whoever wants to get the jump on their Christmas Shopping, that you can get some pretty good holiday shopping deals from OrderItOnTheWeb.com . You can typically always find good deals on that site, however, now that the holiday season is rapidly approaching, it's probably time to start thinking about saving some money on your holiday shopping. While I'm discussing the holidays, you should take a look at our holiday light show over at my Amazon Web Services blog.

E-commerce For Everyone

I've just launched my new e-commerce websites service for amazon associates, it's called E-commerce For Everyone www.ecommerceforeveryone.com . I've spent the last year or so doing development work and I'm finally getting closer to being completed anyways.

The sites are looking good and the features are good for version one. I've been posting in a few forums and doing a little ppc to drive traffic to the site. I wrote an ecommerce article that went up on ezine articles the other day.

I hope that amazon associates can use the service and make good money from it. I was advising a client that they need to market the site, which is about the only thing they need to focus on outside of making sure they're site looks good.

Order It On The Web

Just wanted to share with everyone a new site I'm working on. The title of this post says it all. I'm working on yet another Amazon Web Services e-commerce store. It's located at OrderItOnTheWeb.com . I hope it's an easy name to remember. In any case you can buy almost anything, from motor oil for your car to post it notes for your office.

I'm going for the newegg look. It's not finished as yet, but I thought I'd let people know about a new to shop online. If you have any recommendations, please make them in the form of comments to this blog post.

I've integrated the checkout process, so you don't have to actually leave the site when you are checking out. I've done that same thing on another site of mine, Live Web Shop. I'll post more about the site's progress as I actually make some.
