I joined the program 3-4 years ago and make $0 so far Please share a technique or two to make some bucks from it. PPC to an amazon page, didn't works for me. Do I need to build a brand new site ?
After 3 or 4 years you should have been able to figure out what would work. I think it is safe to say right now that what you have been doing doesn't work so just do something that is completely different than what you have been doing.
Build some product review blogs, interlink them with aStores and build a little network. You could even use free hosts first. It's all about building your own site networks, not just one single site.
Let's me ask you first Did you put a lot of effort doing this thing? If the answer is yes then you have to turn around and do thing differently.Cause the old way absoluetly didn't work. But if the answer is no then you just put a lot more effort.I think this could get better.
I would consider revising some of your methods. What is it that you are doing currently? thanks, PuReWebDev
@adrianwart and falguni1, Is it because you are not getting much traffic? i think the conversion rate is quite low for affiliate programs(i mean even harder than ppc) so I guess you are not getting much traffic to your website...?
good idea.and then promote your blog to social bookmarking sites so that people can see your products...choose your target customer
Amazon already started you off with the world's biggest product database. You have to find what you want to focus on (example: Latest GPS trends and technologies). Create a blog and do some reviews while researching every good news that comes out for GPS navigators. Write some unique articles as well. Then when you have a good foundation. Focus a lot of your attention on SEO. I started out focusing on perfecting my user interface and providing good content for consumers and not paying a lot of attention on how I was going to make lots of money. The SEO part is the hardest step out of all of them. I have learned so much from this forum and have changed my whole approach since then. I've just recently even changed my entire domain name for SEO purposes. The money will come once you get lots of traffic (in which SEO brings you). Good Luck.
Integrating wordpress and Amazon would be a great combination. I'm just starting some blogs where eventually i will integrate in Amazon products, but have not been able to spend much time on that lately. The next big step is to build a ton of backlinks.
