most important is targeted traffic....i got 39 sales this month without involved in adwords or other ppc campaign.....im join amazon 2 years ago and this month is the best month for me...
I do well with my Squidoo lens. It's only got Amazon stuff on but I did make the lens around one topic. Toys! So it is seasonal.
As with video games, toys ARE seasonal. Certain title and series come out during the year and the rest of the time they're out of stock. Same for hot toys when they come out and stay out of stock for months... True in general for most categories so the best solution is to supplement it with eBay!!! it is NEVER out of stock at eBay...
