The newest version of ReviewAZON, version 1.1.0 , is now in customer testing and set to release in the next couple of weeks. This release has numerous fixes and enhancements driven primarily from customers participating in the ReviewAZON support forum and requirements from Amazon’s Product Advertising API changes announced in May.

Here are some of the highlights from the upcoming release:

1. Updated to comply with the new Amazon Product Advertising API changes for signed web services calls – Starting on August 15th any application that uses the Amazon Product Advertising API (formerly Amazon Associate API) will have to make signed calls to the service. This requires updates existing applications and plug-ins to make this work properly. ReviewAZON is now updated and compliant with these requirements.
2. Integration with PhpOStock, the Premier Overstock.com Affiliate Plug-in for Wordpress – You can now use PhpOStock short codes in the ReviewAZON templating system allowing you to embed listings from Overstock.com in your product posts. This works just like the eBay listing integration using PhpBayPro.
3. Integrated Product Click Tracking and Reporting – You can now track customer product click throughs to Amazon using the integrated click tracking technology. You get detailed reporting that allows you to manage your product placement and promotion without having to guess which products are performing well on your site. You also get a Wordpress Dashboard widget that easliy shows you the top 5 performing products on your blog.
4. Multi Amazon Tracking ID Support – Most Amazon products only let you associate one tracking id to all of the product that you promote via the Amazon Product Advertising API. ReviewAZON now supports multiple tracking IDs so that you can assign different Amazon tracking ids to different products allowing you to better keep track of product performance and commissions.
5. Randomized Bulk Product Posting Capabilities – You now have the option of having ReviewAZON randomly post your Amazon product reviews over a span of time instead of at a certain interval. This allows your product posts to appear naturally added over time.
6. Integration with the Vendiva Price Comparison Service – You can now use the Vendiva Price Comparison service within the ReviewAZON templating system. Get additional sales by giving your customers price comparison options on certain products you are promoting. ReviewAZON customers get a 15% discount off the great service.
7. 4 New Template Tokens -  In addition to the other template tokens that allow you to precisely place Amazon content and data using the ReviewAZON templating system, you have 4 new pieces of data you can use. Amount Saved, Percent Saved, New From Text and Used From Text. Now show your customers how much they are saving off the retail price of the products you are promoting and also show the number and price of new and used offerings from other merchants.
8. Auto Create Product Brand Categories – You can now have ReviewAZON dynamically create a Wordpress cateogry for the product you are creating via the Bulk Product Post page and the New Product Post page.
9. eBay Sidebar Widget Enhancements – There are several enhancements to the eBay sidebar widget to display eBay listings via PhpBayPro.
10. Amazon Product Accessories and Amazon Related Products Sidebar Widget Enhancements – Now the Amazon product accessories and related products widgets take on a dual role by allowing you to specify an Amazon product query to show certain products instead of the ones that Amazon reccommends.

The best part is that existing customers get ALL of these enhancements and fixes for FREE. ReviewAZON is a one time price of only $79 and you get all enhancements and fixes free for the life of the product.

I have had lots of questions over the past couple of days about my demo sites not being indexed in Google and the other search engines. There is a very simple answer and it it is because I don’t want them to be indexed. I use these sites for PPC (Pay Per Click) traffic and I will eventually set these sites up for normal SEO traffic at some point, but right now I don’t have the bandwidth to do so and I don’t want these sites to be indexed until I can set them up the way that I want them.

There is a setting in Wordpress in settings -> privacy section that gives you the option to have your site indexed or not. The option that I chose was I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors . This creates a robots.txt file with Disallow / turned on. No search engine will index the site with this present.

When you are setting up a site from scratch, this is an excellent way for you to get it the way you want before you open it up for indexing. It is a pain to have to go back and put in redirects to indexed pages after the fact, especially if you change the permalinks to your posts.

I hope this clarifies things for everyone and please shoot me an email if you have any questions!
