Amazon is simply the bedrock of Affiliate profits, I got my first check here after like 3 to 4 years of doing this. It was helluva task getting the job done. Back then we had Hubpages and Squidoo, and these content sites were simply the go-to place for both traffic, backlinks and getting some extra cash from building hubs and lenses that will make you money. As a matter of fact, my first Adsense check was courtesy of Hubpages. Then the Penguin and Panda arrived and boom! it was back to square one. Micro niche blogs was the way to go, but the penguin and duplicate content SERP algorithm tweak by Google killed it too. I had to start building Authority blogs and kinda added one or two products from Amazon, and slowly I got back in the game. How nostalgic it is for me to relive this experience allover again. its dejavu peeps! and I love it
