Check Out Amazons Cool New Carousel Widget

[Linda Buquet]

I love widgets and the new Carousel Widget Amazon just launched is pretty cool! The affiliate widget features a new style of interactive display format that shows up to 10 products without taking up much real estate. If you choose a horizontal widget the products move around like a Carousel. If you select vertical placement which would work well for sidebars, it's called a Ferris Wheel and that's just how it moves.

Here's a Carousel of Affiliate Marketing and PPC Books (Creation time 1 minute)


(Oops, Vbulletin doesn't like part of the code so it's showing,
but the widget still works if you want to play with it.

One click of the arrow advances products one space. Hold down the arrow and whew all those books are gonna get dizzy! Fun little widget! Hope consumers like it and it helps affiliates get some good conversions.

I have been thinking of trying that out the good thing about amazon is theres a range of tools and widgets so you are not just restricted to text links or banners.

Has anyone had any success with this type of widget?

I have only been doing this for a short time but so far my carousel widgets are the ONLY thing that haven't been clicked on...

Like every other type of link there is a "best practices" when using that type of link to drive traffic. I wonder if those who have had success with this widget can tell us who they might be using it or if they just let it sit there on their site.

Thanks in advance for your experience-
