Amazon just announced that they’ve made the following changes to widget creation:
1. You can search for widgets by size, and;
2. You can Select a predefined IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) size or create a custom-sized widget for My Favorites and Search widgets.
Too, most of the popular widgets are now available in additional IAB sizes:
My Favorites is now available in 300×250, 336×280, 180×150, 160×600.
The Search widget is available in 300×250, 336×280, 160×600
There’s certainly no shortage of Amazon widgets available. Here’s a quick list:
- Auto Part Finder Widget
- Search
- Carousel Widget
- My Favorites
- Deals Widget
- MP3 Clips Widget
- Slideshow
- Page Recommender Widget
- Your Video Widget
- Movie & TV Show Preview Widget
- Amazon Blogs Widget
- Product Cloud
- Wish List
- aStore Widget
- Search Box
- Recommended Product Links
- Omakase
Shown at the top of this post is an MP3 clips widget — created in about 3 seconds flat. Would take longer if you were to actually pick and choose specific songs, as opposed to a general category.

About Rosalind Gardner
I’ve been using the carousel widget for so long that I really need to test the others out.
I couldn’t see the widget at first in Firefox because the lastest adobe flash player plugin wasn’t installed, although I could view it in IE. One has to hope one’s visitors are up to date with the plugins or they will see a big hole on the page and move on….although there not much we can do about that. The widgets >are< very nice and easy to use.
I noticed this one and I hope that this kind of widget will bring extra revenue to me as well.
Now a days everyone is bringing the changes. Google have bring revolutionary changes in their adsense format and now amazon.
Thank you for the information
I have noticed this also. I like it when I visit other blogs.
