Amazon's aStore is one of the newest affiliates tool provided by Amazon and one of the most successful if we take into consideration profits and the enhancements that are periodically added. Astore is (in their description):
Associates can configure an aStore in Associates Central by navigating through a forms-driven set up process. The store can be built and configured within minutes and Associates only need to copy a line of html code into their web pages. All data will be served from Amazon Web Services and therefore will always be up to date. Once set up, it does not require any maintenance from the Associate.
Recently (and very quietly in fact) they have launched 2 new features:
1. First is a small one, and is a feature that allows you to optionally add to the navigational menu an "About Us" page. Even though is not specified it allows basic HTML formatting to the text (inserting links for example). Basically I see no purpose to that, and perhaps what you could do with that is to provide descriptions to your categories and insert links to some products.
2. The great thing is the addition of "Astore Widgets". Those are JavaScript ads based on your aStore products that can be embedded in other sites. Right now they come in 8 formats and are as customizable as Google's Adsense for example. What do you need to know is the fact that the ads will provide products from your aStore's homepage. If no homepage is set, than the ads will be generic Amazon Ads not related to your store.

Effective Presentations - 5 Immutable Laws of Developing Speaker's Notes
In my early days of making presentations, I always thought that notes of presentation or speaker’s notes are not necessary since I have prepared very thoroughly. But as my schedule becomes more hectic due to increasing work commitments and projects, I begin to rely more on speaker notes (as my preparation time for my various presentations gets shorter).

Real Estate Postcard Q&A: Should I Use Handwritten Notes?
About This Article The following question comes from a postcard marketing survey I sent to over 3,000 real estate agents and brokers. I compiled hundreds of responses to create a list of the most commonly asked questions. This is one of those questions.Question: Should I include handwritten notes on my postcards.Answer: As with many things in real e
fact that the ads will provide products from your aStore's homepage. If no homepage is set, than the ads will be generic Amazon Ads not related to your store. What is great about the widgets is that on most cases, discounted products are presented and that is made very clear, by that increasing the chance of creating a buy.
Best practice with Astore Widgets:
Even though Astore is great and has a pretty good conversion rate (might depend on your niche though) is not as efficient as Adsense. Because of that, I suggest you not to waste your space with the widgets, but to use it as an alternative to Adsense’s Public Ads.
In order to do that, prepare a blank page that:
1. Has the background of your Adsense Ads (as you might know by know, in general try to blend the ads in your page background)
2. Create a centered aligned div where you will place the Astore widget.
3. Upload the created page to a server and provide the link to that page when you generate your Adsense code.
4. Due to the constraint that you can display on the widgets only products from the aStore's Homepage, make sure that you vary its content until you find the most attractive one.
An alternative to this is to use Openads(http://www.openads.org), and to attach to a zone both Adsense and Astore Widgets.
By doing this you'll have the following benefits:
1. You increase your revenue chances by removing those pesky Adsense public ads.
2. You decrease banner blindness by varying the content.
This new enhancement comes as a big hit to small companies like Blogger Kit(http://www.bloggerkit.com) that provided similar features through revenue sharing with the users.
