As you will have read above I'm no longer making active use of Amazon product links; just not worth the effort on my site. I'm afraid therefore I can't help, but perhaps someone else passing by here might be able to. Or, you could try asking Amazon. Sorry my commenting apparatus didn't like your code Mr M.

The search variable $searchentry is generated by a users search on my site (Code is at the bottom of this post). This works fine and delivers reults based on the value of the variable. Is there any way of replacing "&mode=books-uk" with something that will use all the amazon categories? I would like my results to show anything at amazon relating to search, not just books I tried removing "&mode=books-uk", but the results are still all books (by default it would seem). I have tried "&mode=all" and such like; with no success. Any help would be super Many thanks Mr M My code: Hi

No, I'm not looking for one. The amount I've made from Amazon Associates is trivial in comparison to Adsense or Text Link Ads, so it's a question of value.

I get the same impression that AMM is virtually abandoned. I don't plan to continue using it when I renovate my site. I don't have those answers I'm sorry alohastone.

I suppose you don't have an idea about the amazon image formats? Because AMM doesn't have an option to include the - let's call them - XXL images (the FAQ says this is due to fairness, b/c of traffic issues), but I'd like to include them in a lightbox-style popup window. You know, a small album cover is displayed, and you can get the big one to show up when you click the image. But I couldn't figure out how these images are named, and where to edit the AMM files. Oh, and one more thing about album covers: sometimes AMM will only show the back of the CD when I search for it, not the front cover. Do you know why this happens? Sorry for bombarding you with questions about AMM that I should address to the guys that developed AMM, but I couldn't find some discussion forum and they don't seem to be working on AMM anymore. I thought you maybe had the same issues and know some more about it. Thanks in advance and greetings from germany, aloha Thanks for sharing this, I was also curious about the correct link formats, b/c there are lots of different ones floating around.
