Rocky Mountain Affiliate Marketing Association

We announced last week powerful new functionality called the Product Ad Widget (PAW) tool. PAW is the next generation of the Product Display Builder, and this new Affiliate marketing technology makes use of the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) JavaScript library. Enjoy a completely new configuration interface, from the Product Display Builder.

Here are the three display options available with v1.0 of this tool:

1. Product Display – This is the default html widget that can be integrated using JavaScript or using the server side language of your choice.
2. Content Match Ad Widget – This widget provides the same options as above, but products are returned based on a keyword analysis of the content on the calling website page.
3. Flash Widget – This is a carousel type flash widget that also has an integrated product search option.

The following components are now available, and we’re developed as a direct result of requests by our valued Affiliate partners:

• You can now apply the layout and design configuration from a previously saved display widget to your current configuration making for much faster configuration time.
• You can now add products from multiple merchants into one display.
• The ability to easily search for products within a single merchant datafeed or across multiple merchants and easily add the results to your display widget.
• Built in pagination of product results in your widget.
• A new Flash carousel style product widget.
• A couple default style widgets (block and round) that are very easy to customize as well as a no template wrapper option for full page displays and an advanced option that lets you create your own widget HTML.
