    Extremely useful lens. Easy to follow and I have already added to a few of my lenses. Gives me inspiration and ideas of how I can lay out some of my lenses better. :)

  • cffutah Sep 14, 2011 @ 9:10 am | delete
    I've taken some of this knowledge away with me for now, I'll have to come back and read more so that I don't get overwelmed with all this info.
  • kaazoom Sep 10, 2011 @ 9:41 am | delete
    Looks good. My only question is will the RSS content be picked up by the search engines?
  • thefluffanutta Sep 10, 2011 @ 4:41 pm | delete
    Nope - the RSS module is rendered with Javascript, so search engines can't see them.
  • caffimages Aug 18, 2011 @ 4:59 pm | delete
    Thanks for this I didn't know about the RSS feed for Amazon and I've been an associate for a while! Very informative. I'll be back.
  • Jul 13, 2011 @ 7:02 am | delete
    You have the best explanation of how to use rss feeds for Amazon. I will try this out in my next lens. Thanks for the great info!
  • ForestBear Jul 3, 2011 @ 1:06 am | delete
    Great information, I'll be bookmarking this. Thank you!
  • Quickcutters May 16, 2011 @ 11:13 pm | delete
    I'm just happy i found this site because i didn't know how to set up these RSS FEEDS.
    I read and read but just didn't get it now i think i can do it and going to get it done.
    Great lens
    Thank you much.
  • wally_b May 3, 2011 @ 2:33 pm | delete
    Great lens! I just found SquidUtils, and I am loving it a LOT. After messing around for a few minutes trying to find Amazon RSS feeds, and failing, I used SquidUtils and now I'm all set. Thank you!

    Thanks for the information I too had no idea this service existed...Rock on!

    The amazon rss utilities gives updates to the buyers regarding what is hot in the market. This could increase sales drastically. Thank you for sharing this lens.

    Hi! You have a lot of good tools, but this one and the clickbank module are special, blessings on your way.
  • charity7 Nov 24, 2010 @ 9:54 am | delete
    Thanks for pointing that out! I thought that was only for blogs. You're a genius!
  • charity7 Nov 23, 2010 @ 8:49 pm | delete
    Great lens. Could you please tell me which RSS module to use for these features. I only have RSS for blog and RSS mashup. But they only listed them in a text list. You can't enter a url in the text module, only html. Maybe you can add where to paste the url on the lens. Thanks for all you do!
  • thefluffanutta Nov 24, 2010 @ 8:55 am | delete
    The regular "RSS: Add your blog" is the one you need, and you paste the RSS feed URL in there.
  • Gail47 Nov 22, 2010 @ 7:46 pm | delete
    Great info! Thank you for all your efforts!

    I've been wondering how this was done, and just KNEW you'd show the way in detail. Thanks so much!
  • rtyndall Jan 20, 2010 @ 7:57 pm | delete
    I can't get the RSS feed to work properly. I have a specific product in mind. I have no idea where to find the node. Pasting the url of the category I want doesn't work.
  • thefluffanutta Jan 21, 2010 @ 7:26 am | delete
    if you look at the bottom of the product page, there's a section titled 'Look for Similar Items by Category' that lists various nodes where that product appears.
  • Kate-Phizackerley Dec 30, 2009 @ 3:50 pm | delete
    Another great tips lens. Blessed.

    You are so smart, can't wait to have even a small amount of your know how.
  • thefluffanutta Jul 29, 2008 @ 4:39 pm | delete
    Hi Christopher,
    You need to make sure there are no spaces at the beginning or end of the URL. If there are, then Squidoo won't accept it.
    Give it another try...
    thefluffanutta
  • Christopher_J_Coulson Jul 29, 2008 @ 3:23 pm | delete
    Hi, It's a great idea but I tried it using a list of ASINS and Squidoo didn't recognize my link as a RSS URL so didn't accept it.
  • poddys Jul 1, 2008 @ 8:00 pm | delete
    This is really great. I am about to start using it myself, but based on the other utilities you have created that I use I have no doubt that it will do the trick perfectly. Thanks a lot. 5*****
  • Rob3 Jun 2, 2008 @ 3:56 pm | delete
    You are genius, I love your Utils, and use them all the time! Definitely 5 stars!
  • pyrox02 May 31, 2008 @ 9:57 pm | delete
    Yep, if I didn't love you before, I love you now. I think I'm off to add this to a few of my lenses, now that I'm an Amazon affiliate. :)
  • driewe Mar 11, 2008 @ 12:11 pm | delete
    Great utilities, thanks for putting together
  • EelKat Mar 1, 2008 @ 7:34 pm | delete

    thefluffanutta, Thanks for your reply! I'll check again! I do like to use this feature. Glad to hear it is still working. Must just be me.
  • thefluffanutta Dec 8, 2007 @ 2:34 pm | delete
    The RSS Feeds are working fine for me - check that the Node, List or ASIN number is still valid, as Amazon do periodically change them.
  • dnuttall Dec 8, 2007 @ 2:09 pm | delete
    I have not been able to get the Amazon RSS to work lately. I put it in my RSS module and it states no URL signified. Has anyone else had a problem? It was working up until a couple of days ago.
  • cscarpero Nov 14, 2007 @ 9:47 pm | delete
    Wow, thanks for putting this together.
  • tonyab Nov 14, 2007 @ 3:26 pm | delete

  • InvoluntaryGypsy Oct 12, 2007 @ 7:45 pm | delete
    Oh my gosh, this is so much nicer than Squidoo's Amazon module. (Sorry, Squidoo.) I wish Squidoo would make theirs look better. I'm assuming that if this is used, Squidoo makes nothing from the commission? I'm torn between making a better looking lens and giving Squidoo their cut. What to do?
  • Oct 11, 2007 @ 11:44 am | delete
    Wow! This is an exceptionally helpful tool! I'll almost certainly use it in most of my lens's!
  • Gordon_Hamilton Oct 10, 2007 @ 5:24 pm | delete
    Another fantastic lens from an absolute master! This is an immediate high ranking new entry on my "things to do" list, as I am already an Amazon Affiliate.

    Thanks, fluffanutta.
  • thefluffanutta Oct 5, 2007 @ 2:24 am | delete
    I'll write up a step by stepg guide for you, and post it in this lens. Check back here in a few days...
  • williamsford Oct 4, 2007 @ 9:32 pm | delete
    I think this is absolutely fantastic but I do not have a clue of how to set this up! Would you give me some step by step instructions, please.
