Yikes, I'm missing out! I even got an email from Amazon asking me to write reviews for the last 3 books I bought from them. Of course, I put it on my list of things to do whenever... What day of the week is "whenever?" I better go do that now...

I've always done profile raising type things including comments and reviews on Amazon but it's only lately that it occurred to me that putting a link to my blog there might be a good move.

In fact the lightbulb moment only came when I commented on a blog entry from Gloria Page about an art retreat we just returned from last week. http://tinyurl.com/pvcuq

The negative about that is that comments on individual posts are at least three mouse clicks away from the main page that one lands on for her Amazon authors' blog. So a link to my blog is now in my Amazon profile as well. Every little bit helps.

From what I understand about Page Rank, I don't think that the link from the Amazon profile page will help much as that page has no page rank and the url looks like it might not be very Googlebot friendly (allthough I could well be wrong).

Having said that though, I reckon you would get some highly targeted visitors coming to your website.

Anyway, I'm converted - I just have to set up my profile and start writing some reviews. Should not be too difficult as I review quite a few books on my blogs.

Cheers
Dominic.

It's about six months later, and I'm wondering if you've noticed any changes to your blog as a result of the Amazon book reviews?

There's also the factor that Google recently updated again, so that might influence your results, but still this seems to be a really great idea. Wondering how it's working for you?!

Bobbie, good question. If I were actually on top of it, I would be writing more book reviews, but I've been lax (read: busy) so I cannot report any any positive outcomes. Anyone else see traffic coming from their profile page on Amazon.com?

I think amazon uses no follow on thier outbound links. Which would not help at all in Google. Although Yahoo does seem to ignore no follow.

I think it's quite difficult to get them...

I intend to give it a shot. Even if it is a no-follow link, some search engines still give these links credit.
I'll use it on my control test site.

The most important SEO is about keyword anchored backlinks. The rest are just bonus. Get enough of these links and you can rank for almost anything.

Very smart post, there's one thing that we can't put links directly in the reviews or comments, only one url can be used, so you use homepage all the time or will make a change sometimes.
