Before you start
- Your Aha Studio accountAffiliate Site Builder is for members: 10 sites a month, up to 40 products each. Unlimited with your own AI key after your first 14 days.
- The products you want to coverAmazon ASINs or /dp/ links, or any affiliate link (ClickBank, JVZoo, WarriorPlus or your own), each with the maker's own product page where it has one.
- Your Amazon tracking tagOnly when you add Amazon products. It looks like yoursite-20 and is in Associates Central.
Nothing is invented. The pages say what each maker publishes and nothing more: no "we tested it", no star ratings, no prices, no figures the facts do not have. Nothing is published until you press Publish.
PART 01
Build a site
0 of 6 done- Open Affiliate Site BuilderAt affiliatesitebuilder.ahastudio.net, or press Start something new on your account page and choose Affiliate Site Builder.
- Type the nicheNiche: what the site is about, for example portable generators for home backup. Site name (optional) and Accent colour set how it looks.
- Paste the productsProducts, one a line: an ASIN or an Amazon link, or any affiliate link, then | and the maker's product page, then | and a name if you like. Amazon pages are never read, so give the maker's page, or a name and type the specs yourself at the review.
- Press Read the productsEach maker page is read for the specs and features it publishes. A value is kept only when it is on that page. Then the site is planned: categories, the specs worth comparing, and buying guides.
- Check the catalogueThe build waits for you. Untick a product, rename it, move it to another category, fix or add specs (one a line, Label: value), and add your own notes only if you have really used it. A product needs 5 published facts for a page of its own. Pick the buying guides. Then press Build the site.
- Look, download, publishPreview shows each page as it will look. Download ZIP is the whole site with its sitemap. Publish sends it to Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages or cloud storage (connected under Your account, Publishing).
PART 02
What keeps it honest
Only published factsSpecs come from the maker's own page, each with its source and the date it was checked. A spec you type is shown as entered by you. Prices, ratings and review counts are never kept: prices change on the store, and the site gives no ratings.
Every sentence checkedAfter the AI writes, code checks every sentence. One that states a figure the facts do not have, gives a rating or a score, claims hands-on testing, says what customers say, or awards a "best overall" badge is taken out. What the honesty check took out lists them.
No thin pagesA product with fewer than 5 published facts has no page of its own; it is listed in its category's comparison table. Two product pages that read too much alike: the second is written again, then held back.
Your own notesYour notes on a product are shown on its page as the site owner's own notes, word for word. Without them every product page says it was not personally tested.
The disclosureEvery page carries the affiliate disclosure in its top bar, and "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases." when the site has Amazon links. Every affiliate link is marked sponsored. A site that breaks this is not built.
PART 03
Search Amazon
Search Amazon under the product list finds products on Amazon with your own Creators API credentials.
Your credentialsAdd the Credential ID, the Secret and the version in Account, Keys and connections, under Product search (Get credentials opens Associates Central). Amazon only gives Creators API access to Associates accounts with recent sales: its docs say 10 qualified sales in the last 30 days. Without it, paste ASINs or Amazon links as before.
Search and addType the words, pick a category and the Amazon store, press Search, tick the products and press Add to the product list. Only the ASIN and the name are added; add the maker's page after a | so its specs can be read.
No prices or ratingsThe search never asks Amazon for prices, ratings or reviews, and nothing of them is kept or published. If Amazon refuses a search, its own reason is shown.
PART 04
The pages it builds
HomeThe site name and line, the categories, the buying guides and how the site works.
CategoriesAn introduction, what to compare, and a comparison table of every product in it, written by code from the specs. A blank means the maker does not publish it.
Product pagesAt a glance, the buy button with the disclosure next to it, who it may suit, things to keep in mind, questions, should you consider it, other options, and where the information comes from.
Buying guidesHow to choose, from the specs on the site, with the products of the category below.
Trust pagesHow we research, the affiliate disclosure, About (your own words, or a plain line) and a site map. Add your own privacy page and contact details on your host.
