To make it easier and faster to set up new niche products store, we converted the included script/nodes/us_browse.inc and script/nodes/us.inc files that came with the scripts into blank templates with all Categories and Nodes disabled. Enabling the corresponding Categories, Nodes and the addition of complementary BrowseNodes to these files then completes the setup.

Harvesting the BrowseNodes can be done manually by looking up the relevant links from Amazon.com itself, or by using Browse Node Lookup tolls available on the internet. One that's available especially for ASM script is BrowseNode.name.

The other pages in the Browse Nodes section is our collection of preharvested BroeweNodes that have been configured for use in our various niche product stores.

us_browse.inc file

us.inc file
Copy this file over to replace your existing script/nodes/us.inc file, enable (by removing the hashes (#)) the categories that you want for your product niche site, add in the corresponding BrowseNodes to each chosen category, and upload it to your server.

	# $nodes[VideoGames] = array(  );
	# $nodes[Wireless] = array( );
	# $nodes[WirelessAccessories] = array( );
	# $nodes[zShops] = array(  );
?>

If you setting up a site, for example, solely for Pet Supplies, then all you have to do is to enable 'Pet Supplies' in the us_browse.inc file by removing the hash (#),

and then by adding the appropriate BrowseNodes for 'PetSupplies' in the us_browse.inc file.

Upload these two files together with the rest of the script to your server and your PetSupplies Store will be up and running in no time.
