That title is not misleading, well not entirely at least lol. I used to earn about $1-$3 with Amazon and now I normally get around $10-40 a month, not bad at all right? It's a matter of having a "clickable" ad that encourage your visitors to visit Amazon. Unfortunately Amazon current widgets just don't do it (they look quite lame to be honest and not flexible). I found an amazing WordPress plug-in called Amazon Product in a Post (free, of course). It helps you to display good looking Amazon ads (with your own CSS) and make it easier to include Amazon products on your post. I wrote a post some time ago about this if you're interested to read more about the plug-in and my stats before vs after using the plug-in Maybe give the plug-in a try and hopefully you can get more clicks to Amazon
That is a nice little plugin. The key is that you can add it alongside unique content - many people just use scripts like AOM that regurgitate the same information that is on Amazon and thats not good for SEO. Does this script update prices etc.?
Yeah, I have an AOM site - give me a tiny bit of sales but incomparable towards unique contents + related Amazon ads As for the price gets updated or not, umm I never really notice so unfortunately I can't tell. But as far as I understand, the script connects to Amazon and grab the info. So I assume if the price gets updated, than the script will get the new price from Amazon's server/API anyway
