Percentages and Amazon Product Page Purchases

    Hello,

    Maybe someone can clarify this for me and tell me if I'm write about this...

    Say 10 people go to any Amazon product page and on the page it says "40% of people purchased the product on this page," does that mean that we can assume 4 people out of the 10 purchased that product?

    Then they show similar products somewhere on the page and state that some percentage bought that product I guess instead. So, if you send 10 people to the original product page, and 40% bought that item, and 30% bought a similar item, then can we assume that 4 people bought the original item on the page, and 3 people then bought the similar item?

    Am I making any sense at all?? I need to know this for marketing purposes.

    Thanks!

    It doesn't matter how many products were "liked" or "brought" from Amazon.com pages. Amazon is trusted brand and people like to shop there.

    As an Amazon affiliate your task is only to send visitors to Amazon. Amazon will credit you for whatever purchases are made in 24 hours.

    I'm probably not making my self clear. If I'm sending people to Amazon as an affiliate, obviously I want them to buy something so I get the commission. Say I'm trying to get people to buy a Cricut personal diecut machine and I send 10 people to that product page from a Squidoo lens I wrote. If that die cut product page says that 50% of the people that go to that page buy the product, then shouldn't 5 of my 10 people buy it? Sounds like it, right? How come I just don't thank that's the case.

    no, that figure is basically of all the people who went on to buy something from amazon 50% bought that product, while 40% bought the other product. or whatever the figures are

    If this was true, I'd be a millionaire.
