Will You Benefit From a Mashup Store?
Author: Tom Kranz

Creating mashup scripts for a mashup store is not as tricky as
it seems. In fact, it can be incredibly easy to do and can have
you up and running in only a few minutes. Most of the affiliate
sites are going to provide the individual script necessary to
bring content from their page.

Mashup scripts consolidate content from multiple source to
create a dynamic and updated site full of relevant data. This
helps to create a site that people will want to use. It also
helps you to create an increased amount of traffic from a number
of different sources in addition to your already established
userbase. People love to be able to watch a video on how to use
a product, see what is available on the auctions, or where they
can find the best books with information on the topic of their
choice.

A mashup store combines the content and information from a
variety of locations and places it in a single spot, in this
instance your store. This provides something of a one-stop shop.
Individuals can see what books are available and coming out from
Amazon, what auctions are up on Ebay, videos and tutorials from
places like Youtube all in data feeds that appear directly on
your website.

A pre-made affiliate mashup are sites that have already been
created and tested and are ready to go. All that needs to be
done is place the appropriate affiliate information into the
script and upload the script to your website. You can even
obtain pre-made keyword lists that will assist you in making
sure that the content that appears on your site is related.

If you are looking to build your own affiliate mashup, a good
tutorial will tell you everything you need. You can find both
written and video guides that can show you how to write your own
script and simply insert the details from your particular
affiliate sites. In addition to creating your script, you will
also want to create your keyword list. Your keyword list will be
what pulls the information from your affiliates into your
affiliate mashup. It also helps to coordinate all the data so
that the information from each of the affiliates matches. This
allows your visitors to watch videos on your product or relevant
content, view auctions, see the latest books or relevant
material; even Google and yahoo have affiliate programs that can
become part of your affiliate mashup.

There are many websites, like http://www.starwars-lego.co.uk,
which are starting to use this method not only to generate
revenue but also to make the site more versatile and relevant
for people. The idea is to encourage people to stay on the site,
increasing the chance of a sale but also to tell their friends,
family and associates.

Creating a mashup store on your website can easily be done by
locating scripts that provide you with the information necessary
to place this content on your website. You can find these
scripts by checking the affiliate information on the individual
websites, doing a quick internet search for creative commons
script or purchasing a custom made script for your site - read
