    I have a programming tutorial related site, with low traffic as around 250 unique a day. Whats my chance of getting success with amazon? will it give result for such low traffic site, or should I stick with adsesnse only. any other alternative which can give good result for a tutorial site?

    Thanks

    One of my sites gets less than that (around 200) and converts sometimes at 70%. The site clears well over $1k a month with stats from yesterday showing 185 uniques, 79 product clicks and 48 sales. Traffic is not what matters, content, implementation of products and keyword targeting is what it comes down to.

    Its really amazing...
    But I dont think, it will happen with a programming tutorial site which is listing books from amazon.

    True, but books can be profitable, too, especially since many people don't think much before buying a book. If you buy something around $250+ you probably think about it, ask your girlfriend, compare prices, etc...books sell fast, a big advantage.

    So, selling Plasma TVs is often less profitable than "cheap" goods, since it's about the overall volume, not the comission per sale only.

    As i mentioned on another thread i only started with Amazon a couple of week ago and to date have made 18 sales, the stats are still low as getting approx 70 visitors to the page it is on each day and about 25% of the visitors are clicking through into Amazon.

    Wow, CTR for amazon products is quite bigger than adsense, I got few clicks, but no sales yet.. I think will have to analyze the suitability of amazon affiliate program for low to medium traffic sites.

    Because the things you're selling this month will still be around next month, plus whatever new content you add.

    Hi DaringTakers , has amazon helped you increase profits?

    I am also thinking about setting up a programing website, but still unsure because read alot of comments saying that it is a saturated niche... :(
