    How did you do last quarter with the new commission schedule? In Q2 2006, I sold about 1/3 more products for about 1/10 less revenue and 1/3 less income compared to Q1 2006.

    Hi Nintendo,
    This is what I got on March 29, 2006:

    Dear Associate,

    We are excited to present a new Associates compensation plan for Q2 2006. Using your feedback and suggestions, we simplified the Performance fee structure and made it easier for you to make more money!


    Earn more all the time -- We are replacing confusing link premiums with higher referral-fee rates for all tiers beyond 20 units. Now you can earn more all the time without worrying about the link types. Below is the new referral fee chart for all products except Consumer Electronics:


    [​IMG]

    New rate on consumer electronics -- Associates will now earn a flat 4% on consumer electronics items, regardless of unit volume. While keeping the new rate competitive, this decision was necessary to maintain a healthy Associates program over the long-term.


    Better tools for your website -- We continue to invest in more intelligent links, like product previews, that can make your Web site more interesting as well as help you earn more. Look out for more cool products throughout 2006!


    Thank you for your continued interest in the Amazon.com Associates Program - the largest and most successful online affiliate program that offers a great brand, industry-leading conversion rates, and earth's biggest selection of products.

    For more information on the new compensation plan, or to learn more about our new product previews links, please visit Associates Central

    Sincerely,

    The Amazon Associates Team

    q1, my total earnings were 6.43% of total revenue
    q2 - 5.77% of revenue

    probably cause i had a lot of direct link sales in q1, and they stopped with those in q2
