How much money can you make as an affiliate, I see people saying 2k monthly others saying 20k monthly. I know a thing or two about seo ( still learning) and I have my site in the top 10 on all major serp for keyword eyeglasses www.eyeglassesinternational.com I average about 500 unique a day but still convert less than 1% 3-4 orders a day. can affiliates really make this much $$?, I tried 2 affilliate programs ( darkblue and shareasell) neither worked for me. any suggestion on how to convert more sales.
you may want to try adding adsense to your site... I don't think it would affect your current conversion rates, but it will help you make more money.
wouldn't that take them to my competetion and away from my site? also how much can be made from adsense, I run a couple site with traffic ( clients site, maybe I should add it to their site too and split the profits.
Use a dropshipper, supply the product. Try other affiliates. 1% is pretty low.. I would expect 3%-4% sounds more reasonable to me. You should add key products to the homepage. Tell people you are selling 'something great', show them not 500 word blocks of text. Good for SE bad for people. I would consider adsense, although 500 visitors - sunglasses $3 a day my guess - (based on wild assumption). If these are real armani products etc, ask their marketing dept if you can use their logos. Brand association is always useful (that why I am here at dp).
Take a look at the keyword suggestion tool here at digital point. It could be that your targeted keywords aren't generating enough searches for you. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/
I would say yes if you had a higher conversion rate... but yours is pretty low, I couldn't see it getting any worse. Hope that doesn't sound mean.

Sounds like you need to have a better sales page. 1% is very low. Seems like you get good traffic. Besides selling your own products you could also work on affiliate programs. Get a copy of "The Affiliate Masters Course" and you'll see that a BIG part of the sale is "Preselling" the merchendice before you send the visitors to the sales page.
I tried darkblue and sharasell 2 months each and no signup/sales I'm thinking about joining bizrate and other ad campaign like them google adwords can get expensive for keyword eyeglasses and such
