    I have read many of their affiliates complaining no sale. It is strange as Amazon is a big name.

    the amazon strategy is to rip affiliates off. they pay poor commisions and their reporting is faulty.

    I think you are right. Though I am no Amazon affiliate but most people complain no sale at all.

    Whatever... I make very good money using Amazon.

    I see few possible problems:
    - You have no traffic
    - You have traffic but is not related to the items you sell
    - You have traffic related to the items you sell but your site doesn't look trustworthy or interesting

    I will be more than happy to review your sites. You can also read my article (see below) and it's comments about how I opened my store.

    Good information Asen Kovachev and great article.

    And i like your "...possible problems number 3" by the way...can you show me your website?

    For this time I only get 50 until 75 visitors a day from www.shoppinginfolink.com and never sell amazon products.

    To get traffic from search engine I like this article :http://www.workathometip.com/SEOStrategy-category-1-art-28.htm

    have suggestion....please tell me
    good afternoon !!??

    Well... your site is like a catalog of every possible referral out there.

    Not a bad idea overall but is really way too busy and confusing, not to mention it's not attractive.

    Put yourself in the shoes of your visitor. When you do so pretend you are looking for something in particular. Analyze your log file and see what search phrases brought your visitors. That will give you an idea of what your potential customers are.

    Now do what I call a "reverse optimization". Instead of trying to optimize your website to show up on the top for certain phrases, see what phrases you are already ranking well, and make your site friendly to these type of visitors.

    I would love a review of my sites to see what type of product can be sold there via Amazon. I really need to diversify my earnings, I am depending too much on Adsense. Getting Amazon income will help a lot.

    I have made a few sales over several years.

    I believe there is too much competitors and what you need is develop a great strategy developing a content site that generates sales accordingly
