PHP Code to Connect to Amazon API and Display Results by Keyword

This is the function that I built and used to connect to the Amazon API.
I can post parsexml.inc.php if someone actually reads this and uses the information.
thanks.
Here is the code:

<?php require_once("parsexml.inc.php");
function AmazonResults($keywords,$page=1){
// original by Mauricio Zuniga
// http://www.ClearSkyInnovations.com

$a = str_replace("%20", " ",$keywords);

if ($_GET['page']){
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
?>

Kicked off Google Index - Deleted From Index

Well, I have had a lot going on in my life and have not been able to culminate a useful post in quite some time, so I figured I would just start making a quick entry to try and rectify that. Last month was pretty rough - my laptop hinges gave out in a way which incapacitated and broke the laptop - so I had to buy a new one. In addition, my car broke down and cost me about $1600 to fix. In addition, I found that one of my projects have been kicked off/deleted from the Google Index. I have deemed after some research that the project probably broke some clause about too much duplicate content within subdomains, which I can see in retrospect how the amount of domains that I own could be an issue since I probably end up taking a decent amount of resources just for indexing.

Well, I can write with assertion that that Google will punish you - and severely. So off I go to figure out what to do with my domain investment and the code that I have taken a long time to write.

The code I have written hooks up to the CJ API, Ebay API, Amazon API, Half.com API, Shopzilla API, MSN API, Google Base API, just to name a few of the integrations (including Affiliate linkups with all of these systems).

If anyone is interested in this code, I will post it so that at least something useful comes out of the project now that all my plans have been thwarted.

But lesson learned - and it was never the intent to do any malice in terms of overstepping the boundaries. I highly recommend if you are using advanced domain parking techniques that you read googles TOS very closely so that you know what you are and what you are not allowed to do.
