Amazon Affiliate Tactic

There are a number of threads relating to using the Amazon affiliate program.

The thing is Amazon is pretty good if you follow the the methods regarding finding sought after products and doing a comprehensive review on them.

However Amazon does pay very small commissions and only has a 24 hour cookie - so you could do a fair amount of work but still get little or no returns.

My spin on this is to do price research and find other manufacturer's or providers who have affiliate programs for the same product and if the price is similar or lower then add their link to the review along with Amazons.

This way you can create content explaining how along with the research on the product you have also looked for the outlets offering the best prices.

Now the thing is I am not sure if Amazon have a problem with this and have looked through their T&Cs which do go on somewhat - but could not immediately see anything that prohibited this action.

This tactic would surely add more potential for a sale as you are not just relying on the one affiliate.

    I have found that in the past having multiple affiliate programs on my sites have diluted my sales so much that it doesn't pay. The total sales of different programs would always be less than the sales from having just one affiliate program.

    So please test it out before committing to this!

      Depends on the market (or niche if you prefer). I've got several sites that use more than one affiliate program. Of course I do them a bit different than most people, and that may be why I can get away with it without any loss of sales.

      It's a business like any other. Find something that works for you and keep doing it.

      Don't get so wrapped up in making money that you forget the important things in life.
