Has anyone successfully implemented Amazon Associates code?

Question

I have an Amazon Associates account and I want to be able to implement some of the code into my Q2A site. However, whenever I add one of the code snippets, it completely breaks my site with no formatting and has a "page not found" error at the very bottom of the page. Amazon makes the call via JavaScript and I'm wondering if that's the issue. Putting the code in the sidebar or head completely breaks the site. Putting the code at the bottom of the page will cause the Amazon items to show up, but they only appear at the very, very bottom of the page, in the lower-left corner. So the site looks "off", nothing like what it should.

Has anyone been successful at putting in their Amazon code into Q2A?

Answer 1

I decided to stop waiting and instead I wrote my own plug in for this. I've requested that the Q2A folks put it up on their web site and I'm happy to send it to anyone that wants it.

How do you add it ? Have you tried using the widget anywhere plugin :

or the simple advert plugin :
