Amazon Hunter

A huge Affiliate marketing industry has grown up around Amazon and its many varied products first with pay-per-click advertising and then massively so with contextual advertising (Google Adwords).

That growth has recently been curtailed a little following Google's crackdown, which restricts only one advertiser at a time to promote a specific affiliate link at any one time.

Affiliate marketers have got around that by developing small landing pages or niche blogs (with every entry a sales page) for their affiliate ads...but it's still a bit of a pain.

If that sets the scene, then Amazon Hunter takes you right into the heart of the jungle (there's a pathetic joke in there somewhere!) finding all the products that presently have Google Adwords campaigns, in three Amazon markets, USA, UK & Germany.

Unfortunately, it's promoted by (and I'm honestly not trying to be mean) the sleepiest sales video I've ever seen, not helped by Ulf Hedlund, the software creators's German accent. I guarantee you, it'll turn a lot of people off...but that's a good thing, because Amazon Hunter is a little beauty...and you'll be one of the few folks to know about it.

There are two ways you can go about using Amazon Hunter:

1 to create a Google Adwords campaign if there is little competition, with simple ads created by the software for you (even in German) or

2 build an affiliate marketing site (or add relevant review pages to an existing one) for exactly the Amazon products that folks are prepared to pay Adwords dollars to advertise.

Personally, I think the second option is the way to go, with Amazon Hunter providing fantastic up to the minute data, which you can easily manipulate to the top of Google through SEO because each item is so very specific. Remember, people who search for something like:

Toshiba MW30G71 30" Widescreen TV

...are very targeted and quite possibly likely to purchase. Do a little bit of research on the topic, cut and paste from some consumer sites and either quote or adapt...and very quickly, you've got yourself a page that you know will be found. by folks who want to see it. Lovely.

N.B. Amazon Hunter recommends Day Job Killer an ebook that I haven't read, which, apparently, provides new Adwords techniques for Affiliate Marketing.
