Wanted Amazon Wordpress Plugin

I’ve been looking for one of these myself for a while but have never found one. A plugin that lets me put in my amazon aff id and then appends it “automagically” to all previous and new amazon links that get created.
All of the amazon plugins I’ve seen work with a search mechanism requiring you to go through and do it yourself, I’m looking for something that runs in the background unattended.
Anybody know of one, anybody want to write one for some links …

I’d like to know the answer to this one as well!
BTW, nice disclaimer you’ve got there. Love the font size. LOL.

I’m sure someone must have something set up for various sites like Squidoo, definitely would be an interesting add-on.
Btw, does tranquilizing count as harming an animal?

Sounds like a fun little project. I’ll be out of town till Monday so I can’t do a quick turnaround but if you email me some specs I can cook up a solution in a week or so.

Check out aLinks with the Amazon module. Or maybe I am misunderstanding what you are looking to do.

I was about to recommend A-links as well. Once you link, for example, “green dog” to an affiliate link, any future of mentions of “green dog” will be linked.
Works on more than Amazon products, too.

Check out http://manalang.wordpress.com/wp-amazon/
If I remember correctly, there might be some issues with the newest versions of Wordpress - but the project is GPL and I think someone has a fixed version out there, just gotta look for it. And since it’s GPL anyone can improve on it (if they want).
I have it functional on one blog - works very well.

I agree with markus941, however I have to check out the other links people added here. The WP-Amazon plugin works great for me and I have it installed on several blogs, however, the one thing that continually bothers me is that the search only returns three results in each category. It would be nice to have an option to page through the results.
I also just started using the a_links plugin on one site and so far, it’s working pretty well. The tough part is coming up with multiple keywords that I think I’ll use in my posts in the future.

Try the Auto Links plugin…you predefine links and whenever that word appears on your post it makes the link.
This plugin turns keywords for popular websites into links for you. It will only do this once for each keyword. It also turns the keywords you want, into Amazon associates searches, where you get credit for what the visitor buys.
