    Gratz!

    If properly targetted, it can do quite well. I accidently found a niche recently which really doesnt make much sense to me but gets many buyers resulting in a good number of commissions. It can only get better :)

    Fantastic... I'm still waiting for mine.

    How long did it take?

    How many clicks did you have before an actual sale?

    yeah, and you know what... $.80 isn't that bad if you think about it. If it were adsense it would be $.03, LOL.

    No. He need 28 clicks to make that sale. So with adsense probably their income would be higher (even with only $0.03/click, their income would be=$0.84) :D

    He can always put adsense on his site and make the best of both worlds =p? Or is that not allowed, I do not do affiliate stuff.

    There are a lot of downsides to promoting Amazon products, but one thing that I like is that you have a great deal of flexibility in the way you show or promote the product (as, say, opposed to AdSense) so you can experiment a lot more with different techniques.

    For example, I found that on one of my sites promoting the fact that the books could be bought second-hand was a much better fit to the type of visitors that I was getting. The addition of one simple sentence made my conversion rate go from less than 0.5% to just under 4%. And surprisingly most of the sales are still for the new books, not the second-hand ones.

    That's true, but in Eastern Europe, South America, Asia and Africa - The Second Hand is the huge niche (Market)!
    PS. Check Your stats - geotargeting :)
