[...] I grabbed some snippets for my del.icio.us account from ProBlogger’s writeup: “a tag cloud that highlights ‘hot products’ as well as a search box with an AJAX option that suggests products as people add letters into the search field, nothing directly generates money but it’s an interesting way to get people into your Shoplinc at the bottom of posts”.

Hi Darren. I recently made a post referencing this one. While researching the whole scenario, I came up with a question I hope you have the time to clarify for me. I would really appreciate it. Here it is:

“The interesting thing is that ProBlogger has the search box from Chitika’s service in his post at the same time he’s displaying Google’s search box over in the sidebar where it permanently resides. I would’ve thought this wasn’t allowed, but I’m assuming that since it isn’t searching the web, but merely ‘redirecting’ to a ASP’esque dynamic site within Chitika’s Shoplinc service, it’s okay. And since the author’s picture being displayed for both the Digital Photography Blog Shop on Chitika’s ShopLincs page and the one from ProBlogger’s sidebar look to be the same, I’m gonna guess it is, and that there’s no problem with Google’s policy here. After all, it isn’t searching the web, it’s merely accessing another website rendering search results.”

Again, thanks for your time and awesome insight on all things bloggy.

I am testing it now by replacing all minimall with shopcloud.
A bit curious, which one is more attractive :)

Michael – it does have the search feature – but apart from that it’s mainly a looks thing which will appeal to some readers.

I personally don’t think I’ll use it at this point – but have seen a few bloggers using it already in a way that integrates pretty nicely.

I guess it is about finding what ad units work on different sites and going with them.

Perhaps I’m being dense, but what does a shop-cloud do that a ordered list of hot-products doesn’t? And in half the space?

I already have some chtika ads on my blog. I’ve looked at a preview of the cloud on their site and it looks really good!
