While reading Problogger’s article about Amazon aStore in iFrames (Link), we said to ourselves — “Hey, that makes sense. We should support that for our CPC-based Chitika | ShopLinc right out of the box” .. (Oh yeah — we read the comments too!)

So we went ahead and did it .. we made the necessary enhancements and now you can embed Chitika | ShopLinc right into your website or blog. And we made it as simple as a copy-paste of two lines of html. For the step by step guide, here is the Knowledgebase Article. And here is our little demo (http://chitika.com/shop.php) that we put together in two minutes.

So why is this cool ?

You get to host a shop within your website and your domain that looks completely integrated with your site [Quote shamelessly borrowed from Problogger]
We created a “Iframeable template” that fits in nicely with your content pane and minimizes any look and feel issues. [Krista's Concern]
With a little server side coding, you can have the iframe open straight to a particular product. Example: http://chitika.com/shop.php?query=Garmin+StreetPilot+c530 [SEO Anyone?]
