Find Nodes

From AffiliateBang Wiki

Find Nodes: The built in browse node finder allows you to find Amazon browse nodes without logging out of your admin panel. Click on the 'Find Nodes' option, and then type in the item or keywords you're looking to narrow down on.

For example, searching for Keurig coffee maker under "Find Nodes" in your admin, you'll see possible matches that display the product name and the ASIN. (Please note, the ASIN number is not the same as the browse node. The easiest way to tell them apart is that ASINs almost always have at least one letter in them, and nodes only consist of numbers.)

Clicking on the first result, you'll see a brief description of the product and it's ASIN. You'll also see that the coffee maker is in some of the following nodes: Nodes:

The parent nodes and their node numbers are to the left, and it then goes to the more specific sub-nodes the coffee maker is in to the right. The more refined the sub-node, the fewer the items, but the more specific type. Find the node you like the most, and copy the numbers next to it, and paste it into the node section on your category.

Some items/brands have their own nodes. For example, Amazon has a specific node just for iPods. This is true of other popular MP3 players as well. However, some other brands do not have their own nodes. For a product like a Vizio LCD TV, you would set the node to the main LCD TV node, and enter Vizio lcd for the keywords, thus only showing Vizio LCD TVs in the LCD category node.
