I would like to know if there are any good affiliates I should know about for my ps3 website www.ps3center.net ? Maybe some game related affiliates?
the video game niche is very, very hard to monetize well. something like gamefly might work, but quite often a lot of the people on those sites don't even have credit cards. could try pushing video game ring tones too, I suppose. generally cpm/cpc stuff is what's used most often to monetize video gaming sites.
yeah I'm afraid disgust is right. I have a PS3 site myself and I'm having a hard time making any cash off it. wait until the ps3 actually comes out, then the affiliate programs will start to push out some ps3 links. That's my theory anyway.
I have to agree i have a online gaming ladder my self and find it hard getting a affliate for it i tryed amazon , but lets no go there i have people looking on there all the time and clicking but never buy thing not made any $$ out of amazon within 9 months no even 1 sale am i doing somthink wrong or is amazon realy that bad lol.
yea I`m planning to open an amazon affiliate store on ps3center.net .. I`m gonna get it fully integrated in my design, however I`m worried that these kids wont have credit cards or $$ to spend on amazon and I wont make any profit. Same thing for affiliate programs ... I dont think these programs are pointed towards gaming websites .. since the age group is usually younger
As i said you will be wasting your time on amazon for gaming sites or any other site with amazon its no good for young people.
yahoo does a lot better than adsense for my video game sites, but they have more restrictions. chitika didn't even come close to adsense or ypn, for me.
ok so I should simply forget to open the ps3center.net store ? I was going to get an amazon affiliate program and get a design integrated on top of it.. but you guys are saying I should drop the idea ?
I am just saying i think it will be a waste of time if none of my members buy a thing from my ladder site within 9months of amazon on there, so i dont see how people will buy any think of your site thats the same age group. Just trying to same you some time and money thats all. I dont knwo how any one makes money form amazon i realy don't Its a waste of space amazon is.
cool thx for the tip man, appreciate it. I was seriously going to invest some money into it but if you guys say no one buys from Amazon, I`ll drop the idea .. I`ll invest the money somewhere else!
Yea I think i`m gonna drop the whole ps3center.net store. I`ll maybe add a new feature with VBulletin forums .. like premium members. I`ll setup an additional section for them with downloads, bigger avatars etc. They`ll pay like 20$ a year and have a bunch of extra features!
Nah don't give up on the store - try these: www.lik-sang.com www.play-asia.com www.modchipstore.com www.modchipman.com For PlayStation stuff (and gaming in general) Play-Asia and Lik-Sang are cool to deal with. One of my sites, (iPlayPlayStation), has made some good sales from both of them. Both stores have good banners, simple affiliate admin pages, and good affiliate tracking and stats. The modchip affiliate programs are probably less useful for you at the moment, but they may be in the future (once the PS3 has its cherry popped). Maybe try and target an older audience (with credit cards), instead of kids with no cash. Yes, my affiliate link is attached to all those links above
well with the current look of the website, it does look more pro, so it might attract and older audience with credit cards. From looking at your site.. it looks really well organized. I noticed that your shop is affiliated with ebay, how does that work ? And is your shop profitable for you?
