Might be a dumb question, but what are the 'Amazon Web Services'?

Kind Regards, Dirk.

I believe AWS is a data feed so that you can list Amazon products, descriptions, reviews and so-on from your own site. You can even integrate the Amazon shopping cart if you wish. When the customer is ready to make a purchase they are transfered through to Amazon's server to finalise the sale - you get the commision.

An extensive knowledge of php/perl/asp or other language is required to make the most of it, but you can also get turn key hosting packages that allow you to build your own Amazon storefront.

I don't have any direct experience with it yet, but I'm looking into it shorty. Hope that helps.

I read that you are an Amazon affiliate and you don't know what the Amazon Web Services are?...

When you login to Amazon, you'll find this article on the top of your page: "Amazon Web Services Can Help Your Business". Just follow the link and you'll know everything you need to know about the AWS ;-)
