Cusimano.com Scripts : Bulletin 2007-11-03

Amazon store

The Associate Engine ae.pl script has been updated.

This is a critical update if you are using Associate Engine with Amazon.co.uk. You must upgrade to this new version.

If you are not using Associate Engine with Amazon.co.uk, then this upgrade is optional.

Revisions since v7.06.22 include:

• Critical Fix: Now displays prices properly (e.g.: £10.95 instead of £1,095.00). There is a confirmed bug in Amazon's ECS data server that is causing amazon.co.uk prices reported through Amazon's ECS to be 100 times what they should be (e.g.: £1,095.00 instead of £10.95). The Amazon.co.uk website and Amazon's ECS use two different databases/algorithms so the amazon.co.uk website and ECS-based websites may show different results. The amazon.co.uk website shows proper prices but Amazon's ECS is reporting wrong prices. As a work-around, this version of Associate Engine divides the price by 100 if the ratio between price and list price is significant.

• New: Keyword/ASIN searches for mode=jewelry
