I've been using a free Amazon.com cgi script by a fellow named
MrRat.
It works nicely with XOOPS static content modules like cjay-content and i-content. Here's an
example of it in action.
Once the script is set up in your cgi-bin, just navigate to it in your browser, choose a category and copy the url.
Create a new page containing an i-frame on your site to hold the copied url page and upload it to your server.
Set the new page up in cjay-content or i-content.
Works fairly well and is moderately profitable. $60 last month.

In addition, Amazon has
multiple XML feeds that anyone can incorporate into their sites using xhld. To earn money, you would need to
1. sign up as an
Amazon.com associate2. Apply for an Amazon.com
Web Developer's KeyOnce you've applied, you'll receive an associate's id. and a web developers token. Using
the associate's id and the web developer's token to create your XML link. Simply:
1. Copy the url of the XML feed you want to use, e.g.:
http: //xml.amazon.com/onca/xml3?mode=books&bcm=Books%3A%20Audiocassettes&t=
webservices-20&dev-t=
amznRss&type=lite&page=1&ct=text/xml&sort=+salesrank&f=http://xml.amazon.com/xsl/xml-rss091.xsl&BrowseNodeSearch=44
You would place your Amazon.com associate's id in the section in
RED. Your developer's key would be entered in the
BLUE section.
From there, just set your new url up in xhld. It will produce a standard newsfeed with the best-selling Amazon products in the category you chose. I understand that there is some flexibility in the way the RSS feed may be displayed, but I haven't experimented with it yet.
