    Hello everyone,

    I'm going to build a notebook review site using Amazon affiliate program.
    I have no experience with Amazon.
    I'm wondering if it's better to target all the visitors from US,UK and CA? If so,I have to apply all the three Amazon affiliate programs separately and put three links on the site which will be more complex.
    Or, I just target the US market? Will this decrease my earnings a lot?
    Do you have a good solution?

    Comments and advices will be highly appreciated.

    Using English as your content language will target English speaking country most of the time.
    That's what I do.
    As for targeting user from US, CA, and UK, maybe you can use some sort of script that screening the visitor's IP and forwarding them to the related country.

    I agree with naochan ...you also can use the .ca .com and .co.uk and screen the IP..
    So when you promote your website you can specify the area in PPC

    Thanks for your advices,naochan and modhuhu.

    You mean screening the visitor's IP and forwarding them to the related country when they click the Amazon ads/link, or...?

    Are most of you using such kind of method when you want to target .ca ,.com and .co.uk ? Where can I find such a script? Is there such a Wordpress plugin exisit?

    And what if I don't use PPC and all my traffic is from SEO? Is it worth to target all the three country considering the work involved? Will you use amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk if you have an english site whose traffic may be from worldwide? Most of you just use amazon.com?

    Any other comments and advices? Thanks.

    This is good idea.. you can check the visitor's IP and show the Ads according to the country they came from.

    Are most of you using such kind of method when you want to target .ca ,.com and .co.uk ? Where can I find such a script? Is there such a Wordpress plugin exisit?

    I ever use the php script but it was very long time ago.. I think you can find it in google

    And what if I don't use PPC and all my traffic is from SEO? Is it worth to target all the three country considering the work involved? Will you use amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk if you have an english site whose traffic may be from worldwide? Most of you just use amazon.com?

    This is what you need to find out by split test. it has many factors such as product..


    Hope this help..
