    A lot of CJ products have higher commission rates but on CJ commissions vary based on vendor.

    Hello, many other affiliate networks have a higher commission that Amazon. My advice to you would be search the other affiliate merchant sites and make your choice from there.

    Amazon offers maximum 8.5% on their goods sold. Many other vendors offer more than that on affiliate networks like CJ, Clickbank and ShareASale.

    I prefer the CJ than Amazon, because average of commission percentage of the CJ is higher than the Amazon.

    But Amazon has more products than merchants in CJ network.

    It all depends on the type of product that you are planning to market.

    If you are in the Fashion niche I doubt anyone would purchase an ebook about high heel shoes on clickbank. But, they are willing throw 100 to 200 dollars on shoes at Amazon.

    Amazon is harder to make money from because they generally give very small commission, personally i found amazon was not worth the time/energy

    Another thing that kinda sucks about CJ though is that you have to be accepted by each vendor. Some vendors will automatically accept you, others will automatically deny you on a first application. Amazon isn't hard to make money with but if you want to make enough to live on you need to either build up some high-quality authority sites or a ton of micro sites.

    Try it out. Amazon has always a higher conversion because of their reputation. But CJ often offers higher commissions. Besides it's really relate to the type of product you offer. But in gerneral Amazon is better.

    When you targeting a product, Always write one to two follow up reviews and add the product rating as well. This will give more leads.

    Amazon products don't have the best commission rates but they are really easy to get conversions with I've found if you promote them right. Make a decent review for it that really draws the visitor in to buying it. I really like Amazon.

    Agreed. You can easily convert with Amazon. However, their commissions are extremely low but well worth it. I love amazon. This is where I make half of my money from....

    Amazon definitely converts better than CJ... Like others brought out commission on Amazon is low. The benefit to Amazon is they sell anything and everything and you can get commission on all that.

    Amazon has so much you can market so if you can make some sites or write a blog about the products you can get a commission on a lot of different products.

    Amazon is known for converting users rather well. They've spent millions in researching and setting up their site to get the most out of their visitors. I'd say it depends on your website and what you're promoting which one will work better. You can always split test both and see which works better. No reason you can't use both.

    In my opinion Amazon is better than CJ, as you have a better range of products, people like dealing with this business and not forgetting the direct linking facility which is an affiliates dream for psychical products.

    Amazon have a good reputation. The only thing that i find annoying is the 24 hour cookie.
