The payouts are lower but Amazon has some strong advantages that other people have mentioned: * Easy to use * Huge product base * Trusted brand. Personally, I use Amazon in conjunction with cj.com.
I'm also an affiliate of Amazon. But till today, I don't make any cent of money because of their cookies system. Most of new buyers reached to Amazon though my site and after reaching the root website Amazon, they never come back to my site. Anyway, if a use buy products within 24 hours than I may expect to get something. But no one (new buyers) buy product through internet within 24 hours. They at least takes 2 days to review the products and confirm whether the product really good or not. And if any buyer buy within 24 hours that's means, he/she is a regular buyer and I'm 100% sure he/she purchase the products directly from Amazon. I totally dislike Clickbank affiliate. No chance to get sell through affiliate of ClickBank. They don't use cookies. Who'll buy products in one view? No one will do. ClickBank affiliate is just like a making free advertising. So, now I am thinking to open an publisher account at ClickBank to advertise my products through ClickBank Affiliate. I don't believe any income proof that's shown in lots of data entry websites, copy paste, form filling etc. program. Most of these programs are telling about ClickBank and asking to advertise ClickBank products through Google Adwords.. Take an affiliate programs of only those companies who use cookies for minimum 5 days. The main advantage of these type of cookies is, if the user visit the product site through your site and purchased the products after 4-5 days direct from the product site, you'll get money for it. It's no need to go through your link every time.
For me... - It 's easy to build online store. - many product - easy to buy. - many cms support. - trust supply.
They are very good i believe, as most of affiliate publishers use them. they are surely best.after them cj is good as well.
I've had Amazon ads on at least 20 websites for several months and have not sold one thing yet. And many of the sites are ranking well for various keywords. However, I do the kindle book sales thing and that at least makes some money, although still not that much.
All the internet buyer are more talent as we think and as I already told in my above post, almost no visitors buy any products with first visit. Once they reached to Amazon.com they never come back to your or my site and once they past 24 hours then no chance to get $$ even they buy a product from Amazon. Ultimately we're doing free advertising.
For me its the best, Because I am making tons over there.. I have developed something very unique for amazon affiliates.. i run my own stores.. i am a developer myself so using my own script and its working for me..
