Amazon.com Astore ads are now working

 Amazon.com's Astore banner ads now display Astore products


Amazon.com Astore ads seem to work now.  I had mentioned in  a previous post that a defect of Amazon.com's Astore was that the astore ads didn't work.  I tested the ads yesterday on several of my websites and they appear to be working. I don't understand the criteria used for selecting which products show. I do get the impression that it might just be taking products from the first category in the Astore related to the website.

One thing that is nice,now that it is working, is that the colors used match the Astore, so if you make your Astore colors match your website, the Astore ads will also match.

Adding Amazon Astore ads to your website is the same as using google ads (without a plugin).  You select your ad size, colors, etc on the Amazon website then you copy and paste the javascript code into your site code.

If you are using WordPress for your website, paste the code into your template files. Javascript doesn't work in pages or posts made via the editor nor does it work with text widgets. Just don't forget to copy the ad code when you change themes.   If you know of a WordPress plugin for Astore ads, please let us know via the comments.
