Valentine's Day Gifts by Category

I actually found Amazon's Valentine's Gift Guides more confusing than helpful, but maybe that's just me. You should look at the main pages (in large type below) as they do have handy links based on price ranges. Beyond this most of the links aren't really recommendations, but just links to Amazon's main category pages. I used to refer to these as "top-level" categories, but that is no longer accurate. What distinguishes these "main" pages is that they contain a lot of extra navigational links and editorial content, which you may or may not be interested in. The subcategory pages are less verbose, and are compiled "on the fly" from Amazon's database.

If you are looking for actual suggestions, I believe I have included all of those pages in the links below. Some of them are a new page format (at least it's new to me.) There are a number of subcategories included on "tabs" across the top of the page. I've included the direct links separated by a colon and slashes. These pages seem to load pretty fast, so I think it's an improvement even if it might be confusing at first.

Amazon's gift suggestions tend to have a holiday-specific theme. If that isn't what you are looking for, You might be better served by the gift guides for girlfriends or wives or the gift guides for boyfriends or husbands. These and more can be found on the (generic) gift guide page.

Popular Cellphones @ Amazon.com

This is the one of a series of quick articles on popular products from Amazon.com. Of course, the most obvious measure of popularity is Amazon sales rank, the default listing order of Amazon's aStores. That order is already represented in the search engine listings, at least in theory. These items are ones that I have actually sold.

The idea here is that these items are popular enough that someone would buy them, but not so popular that they are widely listed elsewhere. Though this approach may seem wildly random, it is very likely that if someone bought these before, someone else might want to buy them in the future. Perhaps they are just what you're looking for!

How Google Sees My Site(s) - III

Google isn't necessarily the best search engine; in fact I'd rate it third out of a field of four. Nonetheless, a recent survey showed that Google accounted for 58% of all the searches performed on the Internet. Obviously, Google's opinion is important to any webmaster whose goal is to attract viewers to their content. The following Amazon.com products are those that Google believes are the most "significant" ones listed in my Amazon aStores.

Google's idea of significance isn't necessarily mine -- or yours. My goal is to help shoppers find what they're looking for -- a task which should correlate pretty well with sales (which, of course, is my real goal.) Google's evaluation is based on a number of mostly irrelevant data, which produces some fairly odd results. (Similar results can be found with Live Search and Yahoo! )

Here are a couple hundred products Google thinks you'll be interested in. Frankly, none of them have been big sellers for me, but that could change. In any case, I've placed them into the appropriate subcategory aStores, which should help customers and indexing 'bots alike.

Cellphone Mania @ Amazon.com

Amazon.com unveiled it's latest upgrades to their aStore program a little late for Associates to take full advantage of the opportunity in time for the Christmas sales rush. Well, better late than never, I suppose. Anyway, the current expansion of our aStore offerings has been a little haphazard (skewed toward toys, for example). We're now trying to take a little more orderly approach.

Herewith is a more-or-less complete sitemap of our Cellphone Mania, which is a relatively small category (in terms of the number of subcategories -- there are LOTS of items!):

Amazon's Amazing Kindle Wireless Document Reader

Compared to the hoopla surrounding the release of Apple Computer's iPhone, Amazon.com's new Kindle Wireless Reading Device was virtually a non-event. Nonetheless, initial demand for this latest must-have geek accessory exceeded all expectations, creating a waiting list for the product that is only beginning to be addressed.

Browsing through Amazon's Kindle Store, you'll begin to see why. First, Amazon has partnered with Sprint to create their own Whispernet wireless telephone network which is free to Kindle owners. That feature alone allows the device to pay for itself in only a few months. On the other hand, you may prefer Using Kindle with Your Computer, saving a local copy of you digital content. Either way, your content remains accessible in Your Media Library, and you can always Manage Your Kindle Subscriptions online.

For a quick overview of the Kindle device itself, see the Kindle Photo Gallery and the brief (36 page) .pdf file About Your Kindle. For more details, you can download the Kindle User's Manual (92 pages) and Read the FAQ.

To support the growing Kindle community, I've created a new Kindle aStore. As with other digital content, you can't order Kindle books directly from aStore sites, but it provides a useful alternative to Amazon's main site for rapidly searching and browsing Kindle content without the clutter found on Amazon's main site pages, and can be viewed directly on your Kindle. From Kindle Mania, you can easily link to whatever main site page you like for more complete information, or to order. Here are our top-level categories:
