Setting page properties
I've viewed the page properties video a few times. I have set my page properties as Voda said but after I publish my page there was no end to the page. I set vertical at 700. My page is: www.myassociatestore.com see if it does it for you. Can anyone help me?

Re: Setting page properties
It's all about the way you are using multiple iFrames to create a "page" and how precise you were laying things out .... (overlapping, extended, outside page margins, etc.).
1. It doesn't matter what you set Page Properties in the BlueVoda Workpane -- the published page will always "reform" to be able to display whatever is actually on the page: even if you set the page length at 700 pixels deep, if there is a 1000 pixel element on the page, when published the entire 1000 pixel element will also be published and display in the browser.
This is why you are seeing the "empty" background of the original Source Page on your published page --- the iFrame Box itself is much "taller" than the active Source page has Content to fill.
* If you have simply given a Domain name to Amazon for them to populate an Affiliate Store, there is not much you can do about how your page displays - they are in complete control. If, on the other hand, you are yourself creating a page using BlueVoda and inserting iFrames and links to Source Pages they provide, you will be able to do something to correct this issue ...
TO FIX: Set your Page Properties to say 7000 pixels deep, which will enable you to scroll down in the BlueVoda Workpane to reveal the bottom of the iFrame itself. Using the mouse to DRAG the bottom of the iFrame "upwards" to 'shorten' the iFrame to the desired length. Keep in mind that the iFrame will only display exactly as the dimensions of theBox itself, which means that anything on the Source Page below the bottom Frame may be "cut off" and not display properly. You need to know the largest display of any Source Page in order to determine the overall largest dimension of the iFrame you need to configure. Using PREVIEW is a reliable 'trial-and-error' method to see how what the best length to set should be -- just be sure to allow enough time for the iFrame to properly load/connect to show the page.
Once you know the actual size of your required iFrame, you can then set the Page Dimensions properly to reflect the universal Page Size. (For example, if you have 10 pages of the Source site you wish to display and the average length is 500 pixels but there are 3 that are 900 pixels deep, you should set your iFrame Box to 900 pixels deep to provide a uniform continuity of display so all pages are wholly visible and not "cut off" as Visitors navigate between them. You can then adjust your Page Properties to say, 1000 pixels deep in order to reserve room for any Footer you should incorporate into your Page Design.)
BUT ... this is not how pages were meant to be made: iFrames are not supposed to be the source for any majority of page content, especially the index page (the most important page of any website). Keep in mind inter-page navigation will not behave properly within an iFrame, and your page construct is improper (no actual Page Content, no Relevancy) and likely to be sanctioned by the Search engines.
You really should refer to the guidelines from the Amazon API Help to conform to standards as well as any particular requirements for best results.
