While making my requisite Amazon.com stop today I was greeted by a plog. (Another word for Blogossary.)
After the initial shock and confusion wore off I decided to click on their “What’s a plog” link to find out what in the world is up.
a personalized web log that appears on your customer home page. Every person’s Plog is different (hence the name) and just like a blog, your Plog is sorted in reverse chronological order. Each post also gives you the opportunity to provide feedback to the sender as to whether you liked the post or not. This feedback loop means your Plog becomes even more relevant and interesting over time. Your Plog will appear if you are logged into our web site and is visible only to you.
Authors with at least one book for sale on Amazon.com are eligible to participate in Amazon Connect.
If you’re an author, this is an opportunity to further connect with your audience through a large and trusted source. Who could ask for more?
The program even allows you to publish hyperlinks. Though not direct, they can help to drive more targeted traffic (these people bought your books - how much more targeted do you want?) to your website. Imagine the possibilities.
By the way, Amazon allows eBook publishers. Getting your book listed in Amazon may be a little tricky, but it’s possible.
There is a nice long step by step thread at the Turning Ideas Into Dollars forum (member’s only).
