Amazon, in common with a lot of big ecommerce site, makes use of RSS for a number of things including lists of top sellers. In case you didn't spot the post over on their official affiliate blog, you can easily generate RSS for any category AND add your affiliate ID.The RSS feed includes the title of the item and very little else (there might be "thicker" versions available if you go digging, but I haven't found them yet), so it would be quite easy to grab a feed and integrate it with pretty much any sort of site you want. Adding some basic styling etc., and you've got a nice little top list.

They've now gone live in the Irish market, so I suspect we'll start seeing their ad spaces appearing on blogs and sites in the coming weeks.
It will be interesting to see who is using the platform for advertising

While I may not think much of the choice of name, the OpenX adserver is a lovely piece of software.
It is very easy to integrate OpenX with just about any type of website, but plugins tend to make integration that bit easier for people to manage.
Today the OpenX team announced the release of plugins for several popular CMS (content management systems); namely Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal.
You can read more about the releases and download them on their blog.

It looks like 2008 is going to be a very "big" year for Tradedoubler as they unveil even more changes in how they do things.
The changes affect several areas.
The first and most fundamental change is that publishers will have to validate their domain names. The method being offered is via the inclusion of a metatag in the header of the website.
Of course this means that any publishers offering shared revenue deals will no longer be able to do so (whether this was common or not is not clear).
Tradedoubler will also be asking publishers to identify more details of their sites / domains on signup ie. whether the site contains certain types of content.
The other changes should be welcomed by most publishers as they will help people wishing to add multiple sites/domains to their accounts and apply to more than one affiliate program at a time.
