Affiliate Resource: Find Amazon BrowseNodes

If you are working with Amazon Web Services, you will often need to find the “browsenode” of a particular section of Amazon so you can pull out targetting products using the API. This often means studying the URL in Amazon and trying to work it out. Luckily you don’t need to thanks to this great resource called AANodes which lets you quickly and simply retrieve the correct browsenode for the category and all sub categories you’re working with.

Network Review: Digital River OneNetworkDirect

OneNetwork is an affiliate network which specialises in software sales. Software is a great area to promote because it works without boundaries. No physical product or delivery means users can buy and download wherever they are. They have a range of well known software publishers on their books, such as Nuance, Symantec, Parallels, Roxio, Unblue and Acronis.

I’m not a fan of the DirectTrack platform that it runs on, but it’s worth using despite that. I used to get an email when a sale came through, which was a useful feature and meant having to log in less, but that doesn’t seem to have worked for quite a while.

The fact thate OneNetworkDirect  can monetise your traffic wherever it comes from makes it great if your traffic isn’t from just one country.

Visit OneNetworkDirect. They also maintain a regularly updated blog which is always nice to see from a network.
