FIXED: Problems linking to Amazon

XenoBoy posted a new series ... Casshern : The Last Day on Earth, and the entry is NOT running a query on amazon for related DVD titles. It should be providing at least a few hits, based on a query like this - search Amazon for Casshern.

Rebecca .. We may be missing some possible $-revenue/site support fees in searching for only related DVD titles on Amazon. There are also manga books, music CDs and (to a lesser extent) series merchandise such as figurines and posters.

Could? Should? Would? Might we consider expanding the Amazon query to include not only DVD'S but also BOOKS. We could then see what the impact might be. If favorable, then maybe we could expand the search/query to include music CDs and perhaps related merchandise.

Comments?

I actually have an editor for this, but it's a little crude. For that reason, I'm not quite prepared to link it into the series entries themselves yet. But if you really want to futz with the Amazon results, take the series ID, that is, from Casshern's URL http://anime.mikomi.org/series/2138/Casshern: The Last Day on Earth.html it's 2138 and put that into:

http://anime.mikomi.org/asin.html?id=SERIESID

That is, for Casshern you'd go to:

http://anime.mikomi.org/asin.html?id=2138

If you leave the ID off it'll give you a random series. And each time you submit, it gives you a new, random series to set Amazon results for.
