ReviewAZON is a new wordpress plugin that lets users add Amazon products to their blog posts.  Sure, you’ve seen that before.  ReviewAZON takes this a step further, though, making it a great product that anyone wanting to add Amazon affiliate links to their site should use.

I found this plugin while searching for a WordPress plugin that would add Amazon customer reviews to any particular item I might want to blog about.  There were a few Amazon plugins, but nothing that added reviews.  Then, I found ReviewAZON, which does exactly what I want, and more.

Previously I was using phpBay Pro to add Amazon products to my sites, but I much prefer the features and ease of ReviewAZON.

Features

ReviewAZON lets users add Amazon products to their WordPress blogs in several ways.  One way is to add a product and include just about any information Amazon has available for that item, including:

• Customer reviews
• Manufacturer
• Product Description
• Qualifies for free shipping (if item qualifies)
• Regular price
• Sale price

The above list is not exhaustive.  There are up to 25 pieces of information you can include, if you like.  Plus, if you have a bit of HTML knowledge, you can change the order that the information is shown and otherwise tweak the format of the Amazon product listing.

You can also add products by inserting just an image of an item (the image includes an affiliate link to Amazon for that item), or you can bulk add items so they dripfeed onto your blog over a period of time.  I have not used the bulk listing feature, so I cannot comment on it.  I have, however, used the image insertion of an item and it works perfectly.

I like to tweak things, and, in doing so with ReveiwAZON, there were a few issues I ran into.  I headed over to the forum for this plugin and posted my questions.  My posts were responded to almost immediately (tech support is found on the forum for ReviewAZON), in less than an hour of my posting by the plugin’s author.  It was refreshing to have such an immediate response by the plugin’s creator, as I’ve been on many forums where the authors/creators of a program or script leave it up to forum members to resolve problems.

One really great aspect of this plugin is that it integrates perfectly with phpBay Pro and phpOStock.  If you have either (or both) of these plugins, you can include results from both sources along with your Amazon item.

The plugin keeps track of what you have already added to your site.  This is a fabulous feature, as it prevents users from accidently duplicating items on their sites.  Additionally, if you delete a post that has an Amazon item, that item will again be available to you to add to your site.

I did run into a small problem.  The review ratings are not showing on every page where an item is displayed.  By this, I mean that the ratings for any given item are showing up on my site’s Home page, but when the item is clicked and you are taken to that page, the ratings count disappears (not the reveiws, as those are still there, just the stars showing the overall rating is gone).  The developer of the plugin is looking into this for me and suspects it is a conflict with either my theme or plugins.

Edit update: Turns out the problem was user error (as in I did something that caused this problem).  The developer very kindly worked with me until he figured out what I had done.  I was very impressed with his support.
