Has anyone put something together like this yet? Would be a very interesting read.

Ah, that is an interesting tactic. I think I'd be worried there's some 0.0001% chance Amazon would find out and ask for all the money back.

>Did your laptop selection site just replicate the data from Amazon, or did it try and do something novel?

I thought it was novel. It was basically a guided questionnaire that asked you about your needs and price point and then spit out a laptop recommendation at the end

I assume this is using some kind of amazon pricing API under the hood. Does anyone know how to get access to that kind of API without already being a successful affiliate?

I think the columns could use some basic sorting, but otherwise yes

That wasn't the issue I had at the time. I had the required disclaimers but they still rejected me because the sole purpose of my site was to sell their products.

I'm a bit surprised Amazon allowed this page to do affiliate marketing like this. I had a similar page but much more generalized to laptops and they told me my site had to have some other content: it couldn't just exist to promote the amazon products. If they've changed their stance on this then great!

I working in XP for a bit and the constant pair programming aspect was simply too fatiguing for me. I enjoy pairing every now and then on certain problems, but the constant presence of another person left me utterly drained at the end of every day.
