Hello, from your experience what converts more? widgets or specific links to a product? with widget i can show the visitors lots of products but most of them have lower price. and with specific link i can display a high price item but if the visitor will not like it then he will not even click on my affiliate link. so what is the best? thanks!
The best 'Amazon Widget' is your own brain. If you have a website, and you merely pop up with an advertisement for a 'blue widget' - I may glance at it... but will I buy it? Why would I? I'm not looking for a blue widget right now. But if I typed blue widget into Google's searchbar, and your site popped up, and you had a review there with 27 8×10 color glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph next to each one describing how that blue widget was going to change my life - then yes, I'd probably buy. The trick, as you can see, is to INTERCEPT a buying decision. So 'Amazon Widgets' aren't going to do that, unless they are highly focused... but an exact match domain, focused on a 'buying' keyword, and SEO'd for that keyword, will sell products left and right - because people have already made the decision - they just need JUSTIFICATION. And you're there to provide it. So - my answer is simple, forget the widget, do proper keyword research, INTERCEPT AN ALREADY MADE BUYING DECISION, and use detailed and unique reviews along with text links to send people to Amazon.
I like widgets because they seem to grab the attention of the customers more. Just think of it from their perspective...
I mostly use the carousal widget to my sites and they do work. The important part is to place on the website where it goes with the flow of the website.
If you are looking to post affiliate links but you don't want to waste o lot of time by manually adding them, you can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-auto-affiliate-links/
I use auto Azon banner. It looks good it works and it is just one of my favorites for Amazon Widgets.
