Website Gets Traffic, But Amazon Would Close My Account

7 replies
Opened a website about 2 month ago. Already getting traffic but still 0 Amazon affiliate sales.

After 90 days, Amazon closes your account (if you have not made a sale).

What should i do to prevent this? Re-applying to Amazon's program and re-changing all links on my website = a lot of time.

      Most of the visitors come from search engines.

    If you need to make a sale as soon as possible, promote a product in your niche that's already popular. You can tell something in your niche is popular by the number of ratings it has. Choose something that not only has a lot of ratings but a high rating (in order to reduce the chance of a refund). This isn't that big a deal because as an Amazon shopper myself, I pretty much know what I want when I go there, so I never return anything.

    You should also use the Amazon search function and Google keyword planner tool (free) to find a keyword at the end of the buying cycle (i.e. product name plus review, author name + review). For example, Insanity Max 30 is popular by Shaun T is popular in the fitness niche (used Amazon to figure this out). By getting ranked for a long-tail keyword like "insanity max 30 workout dvd review," you'll be able to pull in traffic from tons of combinations of targeted keywords.

    Oh, I should mention that I used the Google keyword planner to come up with this keyword. Keywords like "insanity max 30, insanity workout, insanity workout dvd," etc. all get traffic from Google, which is why I wrote it in the order I did. Since this is a longer-tail keyword, there's less traffic in the search engines for it, This means that you'll get ranked quicker. Once you get ranked and Google sees that your site is relevant for this keyword, you'll also get traffic for related, more competitive keywords.

    I hope I explained this in such a way that it makes sense. You need to do something like this but in your niche.
