If only amazon raised the publisher commissions, it would be a more viable option. I have managed to generate alittle more than $100 as "earnings" (commissions) from amazon..though the "revenues" were much more!
I started out an Amazon aStore guy, but now I'm a BANS and PHPbay guy, so I am primarily geared to eBay. However, I have kept Amazon ads on many of my sites for additional revenue. I get anywhere between 20-100 clicks through to Amazon a month and, I have probably made $15 in the last 7 months. At Christmas I did better with the program. I don't like the short cookie (1 day) and I think a lot of people use Amazon for reviews and information, and then go out on the web looking for a better deal. Whether or not the eventually end back up at Amazon, that short cookie really reduces the chances of a commissionable transaction. I also don't like you can't build an aStore in a vertical format. Most vertical format options (with the other widgets) are also too restrictive on size options. My two cents.
Nice job! It's really nice link that you have shared with us. Thanks! Thank’s for sharing this nice link.
I have been at it for about 3 years. The first year hardly sold anything. Now selling more but not rich yet. I never flip Amazon banners. I do very specific deep-linking in articles/posts about cameras and other gadgets. This time of year the conversion rate (click-thrus to orders) dips down to about 1%. At that conversion rate, if you get only 20 click-thrus a month, expect an order every 5 months. My conversion rate rises to about 3.5% in Nov/Dec then starts falling in late January. An order can be for a pack of batteries or a $2,000 camera. It's unpredictable but always fun to see new orders in Associates Central.
Dear, so far i did make some money from both amazon & adsense, but adsense more. Not easy though... anyone got great tips/ideas to share how to boost the $ figure? hiii xx
I have made about $300 this year. Last xmas season I made about $1,500 on a developed site. I haven't made any money on astores....yet. I have a plan though. I think it will net some $$$ over the next few years. It's all passive income anyway. I hope you're not relying on A only to make your monthly nut...
