Revealed! An incredible tool for Amazon Associates
What is Amazon's Associates Program:
The
Amazon Associates program
is a free affiliate opportunity for webmasters.
You join, place specially coded links to products available from Amazon
on your web site, and when a visitor clicks-thru and buys something from
Amazon, you earn a commission.
As Amazon sells a huge range of different products,
regardless of the topic of your web site,
there will probably be some products that interest your visitors.

Just like you, and many other web businesses, we participate
in the Amazon.com associates program...
We love the fact that Amazon offers so many different products. We love
the fact that we're linking to a highly reputable and popular web store.
And, most of all, we love the fact that
we can earn commissions when one of our web site visitors
clicks-thru from our site and buys products from Amazon.com!
We are very extremely happy with Amazon's associate
program, but even so, there are some things that
we wished had a better answer to:
- It takes time and effort to find relevant Amazon products and link them
into our web site's pages. If, like us, you have a lot of web pages, this
can be a lot time and effort that could be better spent on updating your
site, adding content, or web site promotion.
- It's a never-ending chore to keep your Amazon product links
up to date.
If you link to video-games, software, PC hardware or electronics,
you already know just how frequently the products can change.
Even for books, kitchen items or baby-products, the products do change
from time to time.
While it's great that Amazon is always updating their range, it could create a
major headache to make sure all the
links are current.
- We'd like for people to be able to search Amazon products
without leaving our site.
If only we could somehow overcome these challenges...
The good news is that we have a solution. And the best news is that, if you
want it, we'll share it with you.
Introducing Piranha Feed
Our solution is Piranha Feed which is a powerful, and extremely flexible
PHP script that we wrote to solve these challenges, and do a lot more besides:
Some of the advantages of using Piranha Feed include:
- Amazon product listings on your site are automatically updated.
- Locates relevant Amazon.com products and plugs the links
into your pages.
- Can rotate targeted combinations of different current Amazon
product listings in your pages.
- Can provide Amazon search results on a page on your site, including allowing
your visitor to search a specified Amazon product category (such as Books,
Software, Garden or Baby-products) or all Amazon product categories.
- You can configure the style and appearance to suit your needs.
- Can be plugged into existing PHP, HTML, SHTML, CGI, and ASP pages with ease1.
- Supports Amazon product categories (including Books, Software, Magazines,
Music, Classical-Music, Video-Games, Electronics, PC Hardware, VHS Video,
DVDs, Toys, Tools, Baby products, Garden products, Kitchen items,
Photography products, Jewelry, Unboxed Videos, Music Tracks, Muscal Instruments and many more)
- No more cutting and pasting of images. Save your time and web site
bandwidth - book-covers and other product images are served from Amazon.com.
- Uses a sophisticated caching algorithm, to further save bandwidth and maximize
speed.
- Supports a variety of integration methods into your web site:
Much more detailed instructions, plus working examples of each of the
different types of integration, are included in the package.
- Interfaces to Amazon.com using their documented interfaces.2
While we (Answers 2000 Limited)
are not responsible for the operation of Amazon.com's
associate program, web site, XML feeds, etc., so we can not guarantee
that Amazon will never change anything that might stop the script from
working - but as we use documented interfaces - we hope this is less
likely than if we had used other approaches such as parsing their HTML
content.
| Actual Customer Comment: |
It works GREAT! I am impressed and your help and efforts are much
appreciated.
I always wanted to include books etc. but it was just too much work,
so thank you for creating Piranha! (feel free to use this as a testimonial
if it helps)

Download it now
Order now, and you can get Piranha Feed, including full
instructions for just US $39.95
(plus Sales Tax if you are a resident of the State of New York, or plus VAT if you a resident of a European Union country - see Note at the bottom of this page).
This price entitles you to use Piranha Feed on as many web
sites as you like, provided they all share the same Amazon Associate ID.
You also get FREE access to any updates that we release in the 90 days
after your purchase (we do NOT guarantee that there will be any updates, but
if there are, you get them).
Please note:
- This low price does not include any installation services.
If you
need us to install the script for you, please contact us
via e-mail to make arrangements.
- Piranha Feed is delivered in a ZIP file, so you will need a program
such as WinZip to
unpack this file.
- The majority of Piranha Feed's source code is encoded.
This does not affect you using the script, but does mean
if you are a programmer simply looking to study our code, then Piranha Feed
is not for you.
- Sorry Piranha Feed currently only works with Amazon.com's associate program.
(it does not work with Amazon's international sites like
Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp, etc.).
You can pay using most major Credit Cards, Debit Cards, or using PayPal.
1Non-PHP pages require a JavaScript enabled browser.
The exact number of lines of code are required to integrate Piranha Feed into
your pages, depends on what method(s) of integration you choose.
In some cases it can be one line, in other cases, it might be more.
We believe, in most cases, it should be just a few lines.
2Of course, we do NOT wish to imply that
Amazon have endorsed Piranha Feed
We are simply a member of Amazon's associates program, just like you.
But, what we can say
is that Piranha Feed uses only documented interfaces to interface with Amazon.
NOTE: Piranha Feed does not include any components, code, etc.
developed or available from Amazon.com or elsewhere. We have developed it
ourselves, from scratch, as a program that communicates to
Amazon.com's documented interfaces.
(You will need to sign-up to free accounts for Amazon.com's associate program
and Amazon.com's Web Services program, "AWS").
Piranha Feed is exclusive to, and only available from, this web site.
Note: All online purchases are made from our retailer, Click Sales Inc. ("CLICKBANK").
US $39.95 price
does NOT include
Sales Tax or Value Added Tax ("VAT").
Sales Tax applies to purchases made by residents of the State of New York.
Value Added Tax ("VAT") is applicable to purchases
made by residents of European Union countries,
and (if applicable) is charged at the appropriate national rate for
that country.
The amount of Sales Tax or VAT (if any), and the total price of
the product, is shown on the secure order form, after
you select your country/state of residence, but before you give final
confirmation that you do want to proceed with the purchase.
