Amazons A-Store

Another free e-store comes to us from the trusted Amazon.com, but can they live up to expectations? Well, in my opinion they're fairly good but still lack some of the features we really want and need in an e-store. So lets get down to the good and the bad.

The Good:

1. It's A free service, no risk involved.
2. Easy to jump right in and use.
3. Choose from any of Amazon's wide selection of products.
4. Bonus commissions on some items.
   
5. Ability to add categories, subcategories, about page, and a link back to your main site.
6. Last but certainly not least, Amazon is a big name that people can trust and feel secure shopping with.
   

The Bad:

1. Not very customizable.
2. No option to edit meta tags etc, for search engine optimization.
3. Using the product search engine to add products to your store can be a hassle. Often showing unrelated items in your search.

Overall I like it a lot. I'm certain Amazon could do better however, but e-stores are not their main focus, so we'll just have to wait and see about that. It's still a nice service, free, and easy to use. So give it a shot and come back and tell me about it.
