The upcoming version five of Associate-O-Matic will introduce many great new features. Templating will be the most obvious addition.

In the previous post (‘The Secret Key of Amazon’) I outlined the procedure for obtaining the AWS keys that Amazon will now be requiring for calls to their data feed (like AOM uses). This time I want to run down a few other wrinkles in version 4.2.0 that will be part of Associate-O-Matic going forward. [...]

Recently in the forum somebody asked about meta tags and how they work in AOM. So it seemed like a good topic to cover this time round. The term Meta commonly means ‘about’ or ‘beyond’. In HTML, a Metatag is a directive in a web page that is located in the < head > section, [...]
